1. At least we're not Adelaide
(Finished H&A season in 2nd last year; currently 12th)

2. At least we're not West Coast
(Finished H&A season in 5th last year; currently 13th)

3. At least we're not Essendon*
(Finished H&A season off their faces last year; currently getting kicked out of the finals)

It's not much is it. :|

My positives for this year:

- Tuohy
- Hendo
- Menzel looks a player, hope his knee holds up OK.
- Lucas has improved
- Curnow has evolved into a good run-with player
- Watson showed enough in his senior appearances to suggest he has a future
- McLean's performances a positive (however he turns 28 before season 2014 starts)

Richmond will smash us in the finals.

They have been training up for it. Concrete legs against us last time we played them. They will smash the bombers this week though and that will be a huge positive.

Milne pissing off is a huge positive.
Closer to getting a new list is a positive.

I have 2 clubs I really don't like. Adelaide and Essendon*.

In the last 12 months both have been mired in scandal for cheating and subesquently punished. OK we havent been great, but we will look back at this time as a golden time for hating our most hated opponents. It will be the halycon days of hating the Bombers. I doubt in our lifetime we will ever see Essendon* like this again.

Also we are a solid team with some talent that could push for lower top 8 next year. Everyone keeps banging on about North and their close loses, well what about ours! We pushed and were very close to Hawks, Cats, Pies, Dons, Tigers and to a lesser extent Swans. North choked to Adelaide (twice), Gold Coast, Eagles and Lions (we beat all these teams) and somehow everyone thinks their unlucky!

At least we're not Hirdy's daughter being used to protect her father.

And, while this year has been disappointing team-wise, the sky didn't actually fall because we had Grumpy Mick as our coach, like I was sure it was going to.

Watson showed he can play successfully at the top level. Graham and Menzel have started hopefully long careers. McInnes back on track.

The wins against Richmond and St Kilda (only because it was my only game live this year).

..biggest positive for me is Hendo and Krooz.. ..stops all the fluffing about.. ..we know beyond doubt now that Krooz is our number 1 ruck, and that Hendo is our number 1 KPF to build a team around.. ..these 2 are competitors, play smart disciplined team footy, same draft to grow and develop together, we can build around these two keys..

That makes me so angry. How many of you have kids?

His daughter is there in support. I thought it was impressive and a nice moment. Shows whats more important.

To target someones family, especially kids, is the lowest of the low.

Seriously, some of you should have a good look at yourselves! :mad:

I have kids and a daughter I have had kick to kick with (and coached to a Premiership) :oops: , I have also read them bed time stories, and strangely enough I have a University Degree.

But until now most of you all didn't know that, but I'm sure that will all change if I engage the services of Ian Hanke.

Although I might have a bit of trouble organising kick to kick with my daughter on the MCG.
:wink:

Although my daughter has legitamitely played a game of football on the MCG.

:wink:

Unfortunately I couldn't get my name on the team sheet to join her on the ground.

:cry:

I just wanted everyone to know that I have a daughter who has played a legitamite game of football on the MCG and I couldn't join her on the ground, and that I have a University Degree, and have read them bedtime stories.

And that I cant afford Ian Hanke as my PR Spin Doctor.

Thought that was pretty clear.

:wink:

It's not the kids we're attacking, it's Hird for using them as human shields in his PR battle, particularly in the wake of "Sarah"s call during the week. It's the lowest of the low.
