On the other hand, only in our nightmares could we have imagined the injuries we’ve suffered so far. Usually, a team that makes a run at the 8 after years in the wilderness does so on the back of a charmed run with injuries. Not us.
It’s as though a supernatural being is playing Jenga with our team to see how many we can lose before we collapse. And the supernatural being knows a bit about footy: first s/he messes around with taking out our 5 mids piece by piece, then took out the Gov and OMac, then took out our bollocking 1st ruck, then the Coleman Medal leader, and finally completed the job on the backline by taking out Weitering.

Considering that Sydney have defeated Richmond and Melbourne in the last couple of weeks makes our win against them look so much better.
The question for us is, can we get enough of the people on the field to continue doing that? Especially Weitering. Sam Durdin is filling in some mighty big boots!
Live Long and Prosper!

I'm wondering if this is the kind of year where maybe you could pinch a flag, but we're going to need our best players on the park and that's extremely unlikely.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

Reckon it's wide open, Professory. As usual, it'll come down to the side with the healthiest list come finals time.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

Sydney play with incredible belief and faith in their system and players. I have the feeling we are developing in the same way. We obviously need to get back to our best 22 asap but I'm sure players coming in will be well aware of what is expected.
Reality always wins in the end.

definitely. Last year was one of those years too. Melbourne conceded 5 consecutive goals in the grand final... ?

On the plus side for the Dees, they’ve been beaten by top 4 aspirants rather than crap teams.

Maybe Carlton losing to crap teams inSydney and the Saints in 1995 was the better way to go as we dominated all our rivals and maintained our mystique of invincibility.
