Why because we played all the good teams already?

Watch the sooky babies come for us.

All it really provides is further insight into where a team currently sits on the ladder. So in the Dees case yes they are 7:0 but they needed to be given they have had the easier draw earlier in the season, we on the other hand have played the top sides hence we aren't going too badly. Of course the media grab onto these stats in isolation and suddenly we are again assumed to be the recipient of special treatment.  :banghead

How can Melbourne have had the easiest run when they played us? Are we easy beats? Something dodgy with that ranking

The run home:

GWS @ Marvel. Should win but maybe.
Brisbane at Gabba. Bunnies for us but maybe lose.
Adelaide at MCG. Win.
Dons at MCG. Win.

Bye at maybe 7-5

WCE at Optus. Not confident but maybe.
Suns at Metricon. Win.
Pies at MCG. Win.
Lions at MCG. Probably win.
Cats at MCG. 50-50 again but leading into finals probably win.
Freo at Optus. Win but they'll scrag us.
Roos at MCG. Win.
Giants up there. Probably win.
Hawks at MCG. Win.

14-15 wins should see us pushing the top4.

Keep playing like we did in the 2nd half and we will be lucky to win 4 games, let alone 10

Drop heads and give up like we appeared to in the last quarter and we'd be lucky to win 2 games

Our system is awesome and has helped us win premierships but I dunno if it can produce wins without our prime A grade prime movers in the guts. The youngsters don’t have the gas nor the strength to sustain 4 quarters of unrelenting pressure on the ball carrier. Dusty isn’t known for his pressure acts either.

We should beat the sides below us but unless we see Prestia cotchin lambert and Edwards I’m not sure our system is enough.

If we play like the we did last night even Norf isn't a guaranteed 4 points... :shh

Good news is we've played the top 5 teams.  Bad news we've beaten only one.
