Any decent coach with this roster would have a top 4 team.
Another pathetic embarrassing performance for these pea hearts. Any hope that the Bulldogs debacle was a wake up call is well and truly gone. I wouldn’t be surprised if we miss the 8.
We will make the 8, simply based on the inconsistency of the other teams in the comp. And all it will remind us is that, despite not being outside of the top 8 for a single week in four seasons after the 2018 debacle, we’ve never been a serious, or even semi-serious, chance of winning a premiership.
Our team is punctuated by a lack of on-field leadership, compounded by an absolute lack of off-field tactical coaching.
We will walk away from this latest half-decade rebuild, with nothing to show for it beyond one impressive finals victory against a putrid Broncos team (and an unimpressive win against a pretty ordinary Newcastle team).
But the pokies revenue will continue to flow, and nobody with their hands on the till will give a f**k that we remain a joke of a football club for coming up to four decades.
