I know Daniel. They have been blessed so far. Had McIntosh kicked straight after the siren in round 1 things could have been so different for them.
Could be 8-1. I doubt they'll beat West Coast.
I think their injury toll is rising though.
This season is just going to be so even.
West Coast at this early stage look to have a mortgage on top 2 and with Pies and Cats on the slide as well as Saints from the top 8 from last year any other side from Hawthorn Carlton Freo Sydney Adelaide and even Essendon as we can only judge them on what has happened in the first four weeks are all going to be jockeying for the remaining positions in the eight.
Nought courtesy of the easy draw playing GWS and GC twice and in other words % boosters may sneak in or then again may finish ninth again.
Adelaide with 12 games in Adelaide including playing GWS and GCtwice may also boost their chances and further enhance their credentialls to finish higher in the 8 also.
It is up to us as a club to keep on improving and bridge that gap by drafting appropriate players based on team needs and trading shrewdly to make our club to look attractive to talented disgruntled well performed players from other clubs.
