Mike Sheahan just said on Fox that a team has only gone out twice in straight sets in the last 12 years. Don't write off Collingwood just yet.

Adelaide and Collingwood will make that 4 in 12 years.

Love that Shinboner spirit!

How's your creed going?? Nice work from one of our mods.

[Spargo]

ess, carl and port supporters having a crack - laughable after having week off already.

Ok I'll just wish him a good off season then

I place our creed talk in the same category. It's just a word pulled out when things are going well, and as a "why aren't we playing with the spirit of the creed/shinboners" when we aren't playing well.

So what exactly do you get for finishing 3 spots higher?
We have copped beltings in our last 2 elimination finals and I would rather not have made them than be embarassed like we were.

Fair call Jim. But if my mob didn't make the 8, I doubt I'd have the nerve to hang shit on those that did.

That would be "ease up" johno
Sensitive no, disappointed yes. And more than willing to cop it from supporters who knocked us off today or those still in the finals , good luck next week.

Ive hung shit on my mob whenever we have failed.
17 clubs will be failures this year and we are 1 of them

[Rik E Boy]

17 clubs will be failures this year and we are 1 of them

Always disagreed with this concept. This assumes that all eighteen sides have the same chance of winning the premiership. For the Cats for example, we may have dudded it this September but we have given a lot of games to young players and we'll be hoping for more than three games out of Vardy, Menzel and Varcoe next year.

I reckon Carlton and Essendon certainly failed as the Bombers would have been expecting top eight and the Blues foolishly stated outright they were after top 4. If the Crows don't win this year I don't think they'd class this year as fail and Freo have done pretty well in Ross' first year in charge.

It's all subjective.

REB

Sort of agree REB. Geelong should be disappointed. Carlton and Essendon yes. Hawthorn if they don't win the lot, and of course the team that looses on GF day.

One guarantee next year is that we won't be making any big statements next year about where we will end up. Well and truly backfired this year

Finals experience. Roos may have been belted, but at least they got a finals game into all of the young lads who got a taste of the intensity.

We lost by 90pts in 2009 and 70pts last year, didnt do us any good.
Im not a great believer in the whole finals experience thing, look at Fremantle. Id think not many of there players had too much finals experience yet they beat Geelong who are loaded with Premiership winning experience.
