I am an apologist but even I am not deluded enough to think we can win the flag.

Our best is good enough. We are no where near consistent enough at this stage.

That is correct, had we of beaten the Cats, Dogs, WCE and the Roos as we should have I would definitely say yes.

But if we can get the consistency sorted for the second half of the year then who knows. Yes on any given day we can win it, dependent on the side that rocks up on that day and that is our downfall at the moment.

The one thing that should give us hope is that we are one of the few clubs over the last 2 years that have strung together long streaks in terms of wins. You cant win a flag without having this ability. We have enough ability but I still feel we are 3 or 4 players short. I think we will finish 5th or 6th this year and if we get 2 really good players in the offseason we could win it all in 2016.    :cheers

Of course we can win the flag

If our best half dozen n stay fit anything can happen

The problem is dima and the duds

The problem is the gap between our best and worst is too big.

That's right.
In other words, we don't have that consistency in depth that a hawthorn does
And as such would need a series of miracles to win a flag.

Don't bother unless we are top 4.

Would love to pinch 4th from Hawthorn or Sydney and face Freo at Subi again. Would be a cracker with the self belief we have.

Its unrealistic, to expect cotchin, rance etc. To play like gods every week.

They are good but its very hard do that season, and finals long.

The problem is the bottom six selected every week are not good enough. The good players cannot carry them to a flag.

Other team have another level or 2 at their best. We are playing at our best.  We played freo and sydney when these teams were hardly playing good footy on the night.

Reckon we can improve a lot
Terrible first half the other night but hung in there
Reckon we have matured into a very very good team
Injuries will play a big part though

Now Wallace reckons we're on the verge of a flag.

What if they played poorly because we didn't let them let them play well? If we play poorly because opposition teams stop our game, we are poo!!!
