Since 1925, this club has got to Round 16 or later in the season on top of the ladder just twice. We did it in 1 x Round in 1992 and across 4 x Rounds in 1998. Never a minor premier.

‘If’ we beat North tomorrow, this will be just the third side in nearly a century of our club, to sit a top the ladder in the late stages of a Home & Away Season.

There’s going to be a fair few posters on here that have never seen it happen, should it happen.

Hope the guys are aware of this…cannot let tomorrow slip.

I’ve never seen a season like this where I feel like we’ve got everyone covered. There’s luck of course, but I’m saying our 100 percent v their 100 percent.

I like what I’m seeing.

I would love us to finish top of the ladder, and as the OP says we have never done it before.

There’s a trophy for top isn’t there?

The McLellan Trophy.

Used to be awarded for combined Seniors/Reserves/Under 19s premiership points.

I am pretty sure that we beat every other club at least once in 1985.

I'm most concerned about Melbourne but I agree that with just a bit of luck we have the list to beat all clubs.

This is what we will need. We need a healthy list to go all the way. The healthiest club in the top 4 probably wins it.

Amazingly I was just talking to a mate about 85! Was in the (east coast) cheer squad had the dyed hair that day at Waverley in 85. (The semi v norf was a highlight).

We dug this up. I was 9, so didn’t really know if we were that good.....

I was a member of the cheers squad when that commercial was made. It was weird. We were asked to be at the footy an hour earlier that game. And we had to cheer and go off and wave the flags and all that sort of stuff for nearly twenty minutes. They used 2 seconds of footage :rolleyes:

Its the round of upsets

So I am not to say these words about 1+1 = window.

Not yet, the footy gods are cruel and the AFL hate us.

It’s such a weird season, I feel like I should be really lapping it up but I’ve been convinced for awhile that the list is capable of this level of footy so it is just a par result to be where we are.

I want the minor premiership, then the flag. I’ll really fire up when we close out the regular season.

Grantysghost is correct. Our best > Your best.
