In reply to: Porter 's message, "Where do posters think we sit on the ladder? And where would we sit without Nick Daicos?" on 09:13 21/10/24 Mon

the one who beat Brisbane twice, or the one that lost to Gold Coast, Essendon and Hawthorn

And thats why I cant agree with top 4

Yup, our best is still very good, but we are far too inconsistent to be relied upon.

I can forgive the first 3 games...we had less time then everyone else. Then we went on an 8 game unbeaten streak, despite an injury list that would have crippled a lesser team, went to the break in a great position with many players due to return from injury. then we proceeded to fall into a screaming heap. Then we proceeded to play terribly lost 4 in a row to Gold Coast, Geelong, Essendon and Hawthorn. Top 4 sides just don't do that. Our desire, was terrible in these games. Just low pressure, looking all the world like a team that has been to the top of the mountain and had no desire whatsoever to go back up there..

Then we played well in the last 5 games..

And for that reason I cant be confident that we are genuine contenders. Its possible, we are capable of excellent football, Im just not sure if we are capable of consistently producing excellent football..
