That to me is the scariest feeling. Maybe this was it. Maybe in my whole life I get to see the doggies play in 2 GF's (one live and one of TV) and that's it. I am gutted, angry, disappointed, bemused and the longer it fades the more and more I think we missed an opportunity - 3 goals up in a GF - you don't lose by 72 points from there......

Dureya had Pickett

In 2018 we spent most of the season in the bottom four (check this- I’m relying on memory). From there to the grand final is a miracle and the list can improve. I expect us to be close next year.
Who is good enough to stop us?

Re: Where's the pain ?
I may have a bias not allowing me to see things for how they truly sit, but I believe we will have their measure next year. It's all about finishing in the top 4, preferably top 2, then launching from there.

They surely won't have as charmed a run with injuries again either. I wonder if Burgess leaving will hurt them on that front?

This is the key, we have to finish top 4.

Re: Where's the pain ?
The way they’re going right now they might do a bulldogs in 2017.
Still think they fall apart if they get an injury. Imagine if we had not a single injury all year? My god I can’t even comprehend that sort of luck. It’s bloody easy to maintain structures and chemistry when you play with the same 20-21 blokes for 25 weeks. We were lucky to have 3-4 with the same guys.

Makes a difference. 2017 we had huge injuries we couldn't cover. Richmond went through 3 years virtually no injuries until this year.

Re: Where's the pain ?
Fritsch looks like a smug private school kid but he seemed more joyful and less cheeky than say Weightman
Melbourne beat us because 6-6-6 stopped us clogging the game up. None of us wants to watch a game 9 goals to 7 every week, the better team on the day rightly won and defensive structures are deliberately impossible against centre clearances. That's actually why we made it so far
We had to play 4 finals and quarantine but our high energy game style was also a factor. Numbers to the contest in lieu of dominant talls is hard to maintain for 4 quarters
If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

He does have that look. Funny thing is he is from Coldstream me worked as a sparky before getting drafted.
