So we are 3-0 which is a good start
But.....
The next 3 rounds are huge no matter which way we look at it.
Pies, Freo and Geelong.
Two of them we haven't beaten in ages and the other coached by Ross Lyon and we have never beaten a Lyon coached side under Dimma.
Although I'm a believer of the "one week at time" mantra I cannot help but think what would be a good result at the end of this 3 week stretch?
For mine we need to win at least 1 preferably 2
I reckon we are show next week against the pies but the one I really want is Freo ;D
Bring it on!
-
Pinch 1. Don't care which, just need to stay ahead. Collingwood will be tough, and may be unrealistic but the most doable. Freo will be strong at home and Geelong refuse to lose.
-
Would like to think we are capable of winning all three, though what is realistic is pehaps one win from those three.
I think we are playing a revved up collingwood after being trounced by 60 pts against hawks. Will be hardbtonbeat but as I said we are capable of beating any of those 3 teams on our best day, I just hope we bring our best day :thumbsup
-
I think collingwood and Geelong are more winnable than Freo down there, either way i'll be happy if we pinch one. I'd almost add Port in Adel as a crucial game too, they are looking good so far.
-
2 out of 3 will see me booking my tickets. 1 won't concern me. None won't be cool.

I agree Tony.
-
I'm tipping 2 wins 1 loss
Collingwood Win
Freo Loss
Cats Win
CAVEAT EMPTOR
Provided we are a hell of a lot more accurate in front of goals than what we were today

I'm in the same boat. But if we get pumped in any of them that's when I'll be disappointed for longer than just after the game
-
We will beat Collingwood next week.
Freo will be tough and Cats will be a thriller.

Jolly and Maxwell are big out for the pies.. maybe even Harry O as well.
-
I think Collingwood is doable. Without Maxwell they are vulnerable and we can exose them with pace.
Freo if we can get them in contested possessions and play a pagans paddock with Jack playing the Carey role and we can get over the flood on the rebound. We have the players depth and skills.
Furhtermore we need to exose McPahrlin but they are doable. We owe them for the G last year.
Geelong I fear is still a non negotiable. If anything we played them down there last year got done by 10 points in a season when thy never really got going and if anything they are fitter and stronger mentally and physically from last year and whilst our game plan is suited to the MCG the G holds no fear for the cats who we know have won 3 flags there.
Either way in 3 weeks we will have a better idea of where we are placed.

Reids knee hyper extension looked painful. He came back on, but you'd have to think he wont be near 100% fit next week.
-
we have the team and pace to win all three... if the team Stays focused and has self belief they can do it
have go beat the pies and Geelong .. just have to
-
We can beat the Pies but we MUST bring our A game and we MUST play hard uncompromising pressure footy. They have some key injuries so its time we gave it to them.
Freo is an interesting proposition. They aren't an easy team to beat on any given day let alone in Perth on their home track. But facts are that the bombers beat them their so why can't we? As popular opinion have it that we are better than the bombers so I say if they can do it so can we. We must learn something from their win.
Lastly, I've been saying this for years and I'm going to say it again.......,
The day we beat Geelong is that day I truly know the Tigers have arrived.
If we manage to beat the cats its Tiger time! :gotigers
-
This weekend would have to give the boys confidence that both the Pies and Freo are gettable. :shh
I think the Cats game is the toughest. Long as hell losing streak that I can't even remember beating them. >:( :'(
Having said that, win the next 2 and who knows with the Cats one.
-
3 hoodoos to break in a row- We haven't beaten Collingwood since 2007; we've struggled in the past against Ross Lyon coached sides; and we haven't beaten Geelong since 2006 IIRC. Any win will be a further sign of improvement and now that we've got three wins in the bank any win against these three sides will also keep us ahead of the ledger after the first six rounds.
-
Funny looking back all the people saying seasons over, dimma needs to be sacked etc. never stuck their neck out on what they think our results would be
-
The next 3
Port Adelaide away
Melbourne home
Essendon home
Will we be 6-3, 5-4, 4-5 or 3-6?
Ideally 6-3 would be great and 5-4 okay.
Need to beat Port to set us up.
Let's see how the club responds.

Lose to Port
Beat the Dees
Lose to the Cheats
4/5 going into the break
-
We then have West Coast in Perth in round 10 on a Moday night.
Then we have a break. :thumbsup
-
5-4 I think. 6-3 possible. We need to make a few changes though. Didn't think we'd win any of the previous 3 though thought Freo was out best crack. These games are easier depending how Essendon are going by round 9 (usually their good form lasts till round 8). Hopefully Geelong start the derailment of their season. Otherwise we can do it. Everyone has to lose eventually. :shh West Coast the week after are gettable too. They aren't as good as Freo and we got within a point of Freo.

Correct
Monday 3rd of June is the Eagles game
Could be another long flight home on the red-eye; like the Freo game ;D

Take a day off WP and come home relaxed.
Could be a long trip home anyway in the wee small hours so why make it more taxing. ;D

Would love the Tuesday off Tucker :thumbsup

Thank goodness I can lock my office door if I need 20 of these :sleep ;D

I have only said that if we lose to Port our season is shot. If we defeat Port then the season can be saved.

The Port Adelaide match is going to be a tough match.
"IF" we win the next two then some belief is back installed.
-
Still belief here!!!!!!!' :gotigers
-
Eagles game is the concern, will win the other 2!!!
-
Will win 5 of the next 3.

Will win 5 of the next 3.

What if we lose to port but go undefeated after that? Season still shot?
-
It's 4 rounds away, but fat sellers already tips us going down by 60 to West Coast. Not arguing that they won't beat us over there, but 60. Get over it, we beat you round 1 :ROTFL bitter pill to swallow!

Carlton flogs all over the country are still sitting on blow up donuts to protect their sore back sides. Season is a success already IMO. :thumbsup :clapping

Need to win these three games.
There's no way we can let Port or Melbourne beat us.
IMO these are percentage boosters.
The bombers game we can win. A bit of belief and surely by then we've learnt from all the mistakes so far. Should have the game plan down pat by now too.
It's time for the players to start taking some responsibility for there poor quarters or lapses in concentration.
They have the facilities. They have the support network. They have all the ingredients needed to make a fist of it.
The Onus is on them to show something back to the coaches, to each other and to all of us loyal fans.
C'mon boys! Pull your fingers out of your arse and give us something!
-
Watching Eagles v paddle pops at the moment and reckon we'll be a red hot chance vs west coke.
