    Can we win the flag this year?

    It's 1ED's annual (first time this has ever happened), poll and discussion about our chances in the 2020 AFL finals.

    I put it to you that it has never been a more difficult (or easy), season to win a flag from 6-8 spot than it will be this year.

    Difficult because of the emotional and mental upheaval of a long-term relocation, not playing in front of fans, not seeing family etc. and this is the case for all Victorian teams. But also easy because Brisbane are the only team that might have an advantage in the GF but they are not unbeatable. If we get a Collingwood or St. Kilda for our first final that's a very winnable game. Things can happen, the exuberance of youth, things might snowball...

    I've never been shy to go early and stay late so I put it to you, fellow WOOFERs, Brothers in arms, Sons of the Scray, can we win the Grand Final this year? If not, why? What are we lacking? Players, experience? Something else? Who can beat us at our best?

    What's a pass mark for season 2020?

    Lots of questions...

    I’ll be happy with one final win, that’s my passing mark, anything more is a huge bonus.

    Why not us?

    I don't really think we will, but stranger things have happened.

    While you at your Mod controls, I think we should we should have a new, seperate Board devoted to Caleb Daniel, with all the posts in a tiny font.
    The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.

    That's a bloody good idea. Using lots of those funny Swedish punctuation marks that look like helmets.

    Additionally it would be nice if we had a thread devoted to player contract status. Possibly stickied if that's at all possible.

    2016 we pretty much turned up to play week in week out.

    2020 not so much.

    I still voted yes we can.

    I mean, I'm nervous as hell about Freo this Sunday.
