I thought that we had learnt our lesson but it seems not!
I reckon Teague could get another season if we miss out on finals. However, we would have to beat a couple of top 4 teams and finish 9th or 10th on percentage or a game. No blowout losses, no giving up 5 or 6 goal runs and no slow starts will help.
Bringing Williams and Martin in makes us a stronger team with more scoring potential and better delivery into the forward 50. I reckon Rottingwood is unsettled after the off-season turmoil and we have a great opportunity to make them pay.

I wonder if those comments from Walls a couple of weeks ago were his genuine opinion, or whether he made them at the behest of the club ?
I don't care where we finish this season. If they sack Teague at the end of 2021, then they would have found the tiny hole at the bottom of the barrel, and sunk further than anyone thought possible. Disgraceful idea.

This is exactly the kind of game we should win, but the last 25 years says we'll be bitterly disappointed by another mediocre performance.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

You crafty thing you. I'll give you my definition of middle of the ladder, 9th if we are lucky, 10 to 11 more likely.

We are good a repeating don't worry about that. How many games under Teague had 5 goal swings? 18 out of his 28 games.

Apparently they're only expecting 60,000 despite the 75,000 capacity.

Much (arguably at this point, way TOO much) has been said about where we finish at year's end. Before round two.
But how about the fortunes of those who are considered certainties?
I can see five. The rest of the eight are up for grabs. But as sure as hell and taxes, there will be changes.
Guess it's ingrained in all of us to speculate, but this soon? Ummm ... no.
