Said it before....
These games are meaningless, apart from getting another game into the kids.
Our season begins at the end of the playing season.
Getting this the next few drafting/trading periods RIGHT could seriously set up a dynasty, so really who cares about losing to the Lions or finishing last.

I care about every game we play.

Clem Smith's a bit of a battler isn't he?
Deceptively slow, a horrible, a high up and under kick and cannot stick a tackle to save himself.

So do I, but in the larger scheme of things, it really doesn't matter.

I just had flashbacks to hotcox and Edwards

I'm not really sure whether "the promised land" could be considered a meta narrative. It sure feels like one to me.
We've been promised this land for a long time now. First it was Den Den, then the 3 No 1's, then Pratt, then Judd, then Malthouse, now it's SOS, the new coach, Cripps, more first round picks etc.
We're like the guy who waits at the bus stop, and even though they've been waiting for years, seems either unwilling or unable to grasp the fact that there ain't no bus, and maybe we should walk to our destination. or find some other means. But no, we keep waiting. That bus is surely just around the corner.

I've waited 20 weeks for someone to agree with me.

I haven't watched the game but note from the stats that Robinson, Redden and Rockliff had more than half of Brisbane's tackles. There mustn't have been a lot of pressure from the rest of the team :

Agree 100%. Picking the team based on the best performed players (MM) and a couple of wins and some honorable losses could have seen us with maybe pick 5 or 6. We've shored up the #1 pick who looks like the elite forward we've been waiting for, got plenty of games into the kids, put nearly the whole list to the torch and auditioned a potential senior coach. I'm sure peoples memories of this season will fade once Schache starts kicking bags.

I agree, Scache is the man.
Crash, if you're reading, does Scache come with leadership qualities?
