When do we write off finals?

[azabob]

Season is done.

Will finish with 11-12 wins and miss finals.

Should've been primed to win Friday night and didn't deliver when it mattered.

It's not over, but it's not going to be easy to get there. Will need a few scalps and Brisbane, Freo, Sydney & Cats on their home decks. Hawks in Tas. Even GWS away. Lots of travel.

I guess if we make it, we'll be in good form so there's that.

Crazy that halfway through the season we're 50/50 of making the finals. What a disaster!

We should be 8-6 and in the 8 after round 15, playing two sides out of the 8. Not out of it yet. Lot of injured players have come back since we were 3-5

Does anyone think the hammering Melbourne gave us has effected us in any way?

I recall Port being spooked after Geelong smashed them in 07.

I wonder if we have any mental scars as a group?

I think it most definitely has had an impact. There was something up at the club toward the back half of last year. Those 3 final rounds of last H&A season were telling.

I think a couple of players that had stinkers in the GF are taking a long time to find form again
