^ Agree. Great post. It's our mishmash backline that's impressed me most. It may not be able to deliver us a premiership this year but we can be proud of the performances this year, which has given us much optimism for next...

Cast your minds back to the final round of 2008.

We were 5th on the ladder heading into the final round and we were playing Fremantle in Perth with us being heavy favourites, as the Dockers finished 14th (3rd last) that year. Most of us expected to win with a top 4 spot up for grabs provided North lost to Port in the same round.

What subsequently happened was that we lost to Fremantle by 4 goals on the Friday night and North squandered their chance for a top 4 spot losing to Port, rubbing salt into the wound that we missed our chance. In the end, St Kilda came out of nowhere and made the top 4.

I've seen too many screw ups in the past to be supremely confident. If we bring our best and do the basics well, we should be winning next week's game.


Yeah, I remember that weekend; I think the Saints had to beat the bombers by 100+ points to grab fourth from Adelaide?

Quite a few disgruntled Crows fans that week, particularly when we did them in the elimination final the following week

A huge shame that StKilda did not get over Hawthorn this evening. But we should watch the game to find out how a bottom 4 team was able to almost strangle them.


Yep, that slag Margetts put that option to bed.
