Are the Roos the worst PF team ever?

[Dutchy]

Well, Hawthorn and Geelong didn't make the eight last year.

how does what happened last year have anything to do with this year?....just look at the 4 teams left and where they finished last year

From a mod that is very disappointing behavior...

Hey, it wasn't my opinion, as a Mod I promote free speech and Robin wanted to make his point of view known.

OK, I don't like doing this, but I will.

The Roos are a very good team, they play as a TEAM. They're also quite good to watch.

I was wrong.

your comments are very short sighted

the Roo's prove that talent alone does not drive results, a team needs to be honest, work extremely hard for each other, play to the team rules and game plan 100%

when the Kanga's do this, they are a very difficult team to beat, and often beat teams that have more talent, but lower work ethic and levels of discipline

Have to agree the KA have great spirit SD
Irrespective of which team wins the G/F ,this club has achieved as much as any team in 2007
Bookies and myself had them Wooden Spoon favourites in 2007
I marvel at what this team has done so far
Beaten into submission by 100+ points last week, and to turn around thier fortunes is stunning

NFC they MIGHT be one of the least talented teams to make a P/F
But they are also MIGHT be one of the most spirited teams to make a P/F as well

Well played

you don't make the 8 or win finals on Paper, you have to take it out on to the field

maybe their are a few clubs out their with potentially stronger lists can learn something from the Kanga's,

having a stong list does not necessary equate to having a good team

STK being exhibits A to Z to back this arguement.

[mighty_tiger_79]

Tonight's result makes you wonder...

IMO yes they are, and by a fair way.

well COLLINGWOOD arent much better

[mighty_tiger_79]

also the Roos were 0-3 at the start of the season, became favs for the wooden spoon and laidley was fav to be the first coach sacked

big improvement to come from where they did

very well done

all they have to do now is beat Port so we can have the Qualifying final re-match and the same result!!!!!!!!!

[Aerie]

I would say Port, Collingwood and the Kangaroos are equally the worst teams ever to make a Preliminary Final. Geelong have picked a good year to have a good year.

[Rik E Boy]

Don't tell me that a team that loses 10 matches deserves to be called the best team
of the whole year.

Using that logic, why not just give the premiership cup to the minor premier then?

Good idea.

good thing your not a betting man NFC cause if you followed your opinions with your $$$ youd be bankrupt

We'll see. I'll be bumping this thread next year!

I'm not too sure about this one NFC. IMO I think the vulnerable teams in this year's top eight would have to include Adelaide, Sydney and Hawthorn. I believe that Craig and the Crows won't be prepared to make the hard decisions regarding the playing list and it is difficult to envisage where the improvement might come from. The same goes for Sydney. Roos has already come out and said that the blokes who have the runs on the board will get first crack, translation: No massive list upheavals and once again the young players will not be given a run. My inclusion of the Hawks might surprise some people but I reckon Hawthorn might be a bit too pleased with it's efforts this year and might actually go backwards next season. I know Geelong did this. I believe Buddy Franklin will be tested by a series of quicker opponents next year and Boyle and Roughead are not the gun forwards they are being made out to be.

You know what you are going to get with the Roos and usually that means 100% effort. They don't normally come out and get belted by 17 goals. Plenty of people have gone on about 0-3 but have a look at what they have done since then. I believe all of the teams that have made the Prelims have been sold short in this thread as The Roos and Port have been very consistent and Collingwood have done a great job considering so many experienced men have missed quite a bit of football. Next year the Roos will welcome back Nathan Thompson and also the much improved Corey Jones was also missing yesterday. I think you're barking up the wrong tree here NFC.

Essendon lost by 94 points to the cats in 1989 so they'd give the title a shake.
Quite amazing since Essendon had beaten the Cats by 76 pts 2 weeks earlier in the Qualifying Final.
