    Re: AFL Finals 2015 Discussion Thread

    A stinging, heart wrenching loss in a game we were in for 100% of the time or a demoralising flogging at the hands of a brutal, mature team. Which would you rather have in the back of your mind as you take on pre-season?
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

        I'm happy where we're at but there's just this niggling thought in the back of my head that keeps saying what if we brought our best against Hawthorn. What if goes hand in hand with our finals experiences unfortunately.

        What is super annoying right now is that Hawthorn have been up and about every since they won that GF in 08. It's sickening.
        But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

            You take the extra game's experience at the MCG in a final every day of the week.

                A blowout against the Hawks would have at least given us the balance of where we are and where we need to be. Not sure if that is the right lessson though yet with such a young team. But yes you of course take the extra final.

                                I must be stupid. I don't see a back to back pre-lim final team, but they're that potentially soon. How do they do it? I just don't understand how their list has done it.

                                    Still a false dawn though. Cannot see them getting near West Coast.

                                        I've always thought of Cunnington as an honest plodder but I'd love him in our side. Easily North's best player
