The 2016 team I believe has developed a mentally tougher edge than the 2014 model .
They will go all the way this year .
Still think Gws if they make top 4 and otherwise the crows but tbh I think that's more based on lowering expectations after 2014
Geelong are pretenders, Hawks (hopefully) on the slide.
I'm still shell-shocked from 2014 so I can't argue with him.
Just before the start of his last year as coach of Carlton, he said it was difficult to pinpoint games that the Blues would lose.
He's not a real good judge.
As bad as the 2014 GF was, it was one game 2 years ago where we just couldn't get our hands on the footy, and it was over from there given Hawthorn's foot skills.
That side was in the middle of a 3-peat which is not incidental either.
And our midfield from 2012 was essentially the same in 2014 anyway - if it is specifically GF performances he's assessing.
Hawthorn were being considered underachievers, can't handle big games etc after 2012 - you can actually learn your lessons and come back from it.
Ignore the merits of the argument.
Remember above all, Mick's coaching last year. A senile, useless, deranged, feed-the-seagulls-chips, old, case-for-euthenasia git.
Well I don't like Mick - he's a silly old dick!
