Finally someone else gets it. That’s why I said people need to calm down

Not just Adelaide media. Nathan Buckley saying top 6 & could scare some of the top 4 teams.
Think they need to win 1 of the next 2 to be a chance of making finals. Lose both & that puts them on the negative W/L at the half way mark.
Like to see them on a mainstream ground like The MCG, SCG or under the dome. In fairness all the grounds they’ve gone to this year not many teams win there even when they are flying. Completely ballsed up round 1, get that.
Can you bring a man to his feet when defeat is on repeat?

I dunno, pretty easy to win at all of them I reckon.

Looks like you've found a remnant of the old Magpies cockiness

Come seasons end what do we need to take the next step? I’m not buying into the finals contenders yet.
Stop banging on about experience and games played, you lot are giving yourselves an out for not making finals. It'll be a massive failure if you miss the 8, talent is there, game plan in there, balance is there and depth it there. Embrace it and stop looking for excuses.

Agree. We are playing good footy and in most games this year even when beaten have been competitive against some pretty good sides. Developing in years to come is never guaranteed so the time is now to make the most of it. Need to win enough games to get a home final.

Lol. Not looking for excuses, I’m being realistic. When Iever looked for excuses?
Very few before the season had us in finals and I think we’ll drop game’s purely because many are kids who will become fatigued as the season continues as they don’t have enough games/seasoning under their belt. Another season will be invaluable to these kids.

Massive choke if they, @Booney's mob, don't win it this year, Gaz
He's working on his deflecting already!
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!
Given the state of the ladder at the moment.
Do the Crows need to make finals for this season to be a success???
I don't think they need to play finals this year, but just keep building a system and squad that can be September regulars from next year on when the kids have another 20 odd games under their belt.
