Who cares

Adelaide thumped GWS, for mine worth more than the Tigers being on top of the ladder. Put those wannabes back in their box (for at least a week :rollin )

People are so quick to talk Geelong up and put us down.

Geelong wins: Freo (2 wins), North (0 wins), Melbourne (2 wins), Hawks (0 wins)

Richmond wins: Carlton (1 win), Collingwood (1 win), WCE (3 wins), Brisbane (1 win)

So they knocked off Freo before they changed things up (turned to youth) and started winning, beat a depleted Melbourne (no Hogan or Lewis and Gawn gone with a hammie) and knocked off two pee poor teams without a win.

Yet our wins don't mean much because they are bottom 8 teams and a win against WCE who "played their worst game ever"

Bottom 8 is the strongest in years, does that mean we are actually going OK?

And the bottom 2 is comfortably the best bottom 2 sides of all time.

They usually lose to the team's that are worse than them.

If you looked at that ladder after round 5 nobody would of predicted that the three undefeated teams would have the worst possible outcome in the next three weeks.
Adel 1-2
Geel 0-3
Rich 0-3

There is nothing between 1st and 18th on any week, its a matter of what team turns up on the day. From here I could see us finishing in the top 4 or just as easily see us finishing in the bottom 4, its just that close. We have been smacked once, had 2 close losses, and 5 wins. Given how close the season is I would of taken 5-3 before the season started. We should not of lost either of the last weeks which might make a huge difference at the end of the year.

It was a devastating loss yesterday, 3 points and yes we would still be equal first.  Still possible  :gotigers

At least scott was realistic when he said we/geelong  are an average team in a dog fight just to try and make the 8. he said that after the  collingwood or gold coast loss cant remember which.

Here's how the #AFL ladder would look if the loser had kicked one more goal in every game decided by under 6 points this year.

4 losses

Beaten soundly by Adelaide over there after a break two days shorter than Adelaide's break.

Losses to Western Bulldogs, Fremantle and GWS. All games we could have won.

Could have done with Lids up back marshalling the troops.

We have shown we can match almost anybody in the league.

Just need to work on the set shots and the last minutes of the game.

Overall promising signs.

Big test next week.

I'm starting to believe that the footy gods are on our side. There is something about this year.
I better pull myself together, typical tigerland, get our hopes high! just to finish ninth or something like that.
HUGE 3 weeks. Imagine knocking all 3 sides off.
But first lets worry about the swans, feel it maybe a danger game!

Great to see that the dees take our place on the ladder tonight
I guess they probably figured that it was important to come out and win given what was at stake.
At this stage we are no lock at making finals....

If we were coming off a win and the blues a loss I'd be worried about this game, but given the blues love in this week from the media and capt Murph pumping them up yesterday saying they are a vastly different side to the one that lost in rnd 1 and they cant wait to show that, I am very confident we will win this and win well. We're the hunters this week, blues wont be able to cope with our pressure - win by 40+ (not 10 goals though)

We have 12th, 13th and 15th in the run home

We also have 9th , 3rd and 2nd .

3 more wins would guarantee finals I reckon .

The teams currently in contention - St kilda and Melbourne are the most vulnerable teams I believe.
