I didn't have us getting priority picks, but at the time, I didn't see us finishing in the top 6 - I thought probably miss the finals, although sneaking in to 7th/8th may have happened.

Dont beat yourself up too bad. Their poor start had even the most ardent optimists concerned they were going to waste the opportunity presented to them this year with all of their experience and talent.

Can't say I ever really lost faith. I was becoming apathetic but not faithless.

We were overusing it resulting in error after error and our forwards were down on confidence but we had the same list so the problems were only ever going to be temporary.

What I couldn't guess was the scintilating footy that we would go on to play.

We're a bit too close to it to notice, but for a casual observer, our form reversal has been incredible...it's not just an improvement, it's a dramatic 180.

Going from getting towelled up at home to slamming on 9 goal quarters is a big turn-around.

Myles will be calling soon to ask for your memerbship to be relinquished.

It is very rare a team goes through the whole season without a form slump (Carlton 1995 & SnDon 2000 are exceptions, although Carlton did lose 2 in a row in 1995).

We just happened to have ours early in the year. St Kilda had a slow start like us, Melbourne & Geelong had shocking mid years and West Coast are looking a little wobbly now.

22 Rounds is a half marathon not a 100 meter sprint.

My bro's name is Miles ("His father's name is Himey!") and a Tiger man so for a split second there I thought...never mind...

Even so, better to be a whinging member than a whinging non-member.

Must admit I never thought we'd be a top four team AND a premiership contender, thought we might make the bottom half of the 8, at best.

after the west coast game at the start of the year i thought the finals were along way off.

so yeah i'll confess. i might have to read up on footyheads threads that were started around this period, should be good reading

I did. We had essentially the same team, we just needed to gell.

Here's another one, who thought the Swans would only make up the numbers in top 8.
