I am a bit P*ssed off - NOT GOOD ENOUGH DOGS

We missed top 4 last by a few %. Brisbane 133.27% to us 132.84% - in fact a couple of goals

But I'm technically correct, the best kind of correct

It was that bloody Gabba timekeeper!!

I think the bigger challenge since Bevo has arrived is around why we can't back up after very good seasons?
We were really making some progress in 2015, won it in 2016, fall backwards in 2017 and then fell back even further in 2018.
We made finals in 2019 and 2020 but never progressed and a GF in 2021 after dominating for a lot of the year.
Of course the 2022 season has been a struggle and we don't know where we might land but it hasn't been a successful season.

Why does our performances yo-yo and why can't we achieve what the Tigers and Cats have in recent years by being a finals relevant clubs for a sustained period?

Off field we have navigated through a couple of Covid impact seasons and have become a profitable club with an increasing membership base. We have achieved so much off field that I really think should have resulted in better performances on field.

We've kind of done that with the last few years? Slowly progressing.

2018 : 8 wins
2019 : 12 wins
2020 : 10 (17) extrapolated to 22 games its 13 wins.
2021 : 15

It's more a linear progression in the last 4 seasons than yo-yo.

I do get what you mean though.

What's triggered this post BAD?

I feel like you have been largely immune from the frustration so many people have been feeling...but then a loss in what is currently the toughest task in footy (Geelong at KP) sends you over the edge?

Forget the % in your quote above...maybe losing games to Hawthorn, Essendon etc was the thing that really cost us last season. This year? Take your pick.

Too many players want things on their own terms.

I think the third quarter triggered everyone's GF PTSD.

Plus. Geelong.

If the dogs had scored 2 more behinds in the last game they would have drawn with Port and gained 2 points on the ladder, guaranteeing a top 4 finish.

Why didn’t they, when port kicked only 1 goal in the first half?

Because we were experimenting with the ruck. Port had three times as many hitouts and dominated the clearances.

A bit like the Geelong game really.

Boots - l like your work.

What I don't like, is your avatar game.

So I've harnessed the power of AI and SuperCompute to generate you something...something I think will work for you juuuuuust fine.

Enjoy ! (The singularity is coming).

It's a very good question. Ask it in binary and I'll pass it on.

Thanks for the offer but until I have something significant to say it’s better that I stay incomplete.

Is this a binary solo?

Everyone’s opinion is significant.
