Don't Deserve It

[yellowandback]

We have now lost to the Pies, Cats and Bombers on the "big stage" and in hindsight  should of lost to the Blues, who by the way are travelling better than us. Honestly we would be an embarrassment to the finals and we don't deserve to be there. We need to finish 15th or lower...

WE DON'T DESERVE TO PLAY FINALS!!!!!!!!

Hmmmmm

My only worry with this is
 - Chaplin. Does his good out way the bad. Is he a superior long term prospect to Mcintosh, Darrou, Astbury?
 - A Edwards age is a negative. Little/no defensive pressure and does nothing if the ball is not kicked perfect to him.
 - Pettard cant kick.
 - Houli is too soft.

Just read that last bit of your post- can't a month in footy change your thoughts on things? I think all but Pettard have proven to be very good since your post. And Pettard has been injured.    :whistle

  nice bump
some quality in here.

We won't beat the Eagles, we will go over there gutless, scared and lacking confidence. The crowd will make us go into our shells and then we will be thumped.

Great bump

whats has changed i ask.
well for me little. the thread was never about deserving finals it was about for me anyway credability.

 against the good sides this yr we have little credability  but we sure as hell have about 6 games to go 4 against top 5 sides  where we can gain plenty.

i have maintained finals would be a bonus this yr but i wouldnt read much into them. one only needs look at nm. a side on a par with us in many ways made finals one yr only top miss the next.  imo making finals is not the guide we should be looking at to ascertain just where we are at or judge solely how much we have improved. i still think we played better footy of at the least just as well  for most of last yr than this yr.

[Yeahright]

Mate its Richmond, I don't care how long it lasts it's finals!

Whatever, compare Carltons record to ours this year. Get over yourself

Must be nice living in the land of sunshine and lollipops. Wake the stuff up......then get over yourself!

What does that even mean?

Compare our record to Carltons this year, do the exercise

You are living in la a land, who is playing the better football?? You do the exercise! Malthouse will have that side in the finals!!!! Will we??

I reckon we might, do you think the blues will make it or will Denis Paga er I mean mickey Makthouse start making excuses like "our ladder position is irrelevant" a personal fave of mine
