When the draw was announced many people were predicting that after 5 rounds we would be 1-4, yet some of the carry on makes me wonder just what people expectations have been.
So the question i have, is what are your expectations, result wise for the next 3 games?
are your expectations realistic, or do you revel in misery like a dog rolls in crap?
#This week we play Melbourne, an absolute basket case at the moment, who have played average/fair footy for parts of their two games, but ended up being steam rolled in embarrassing circumstances.
I expect us to win, and win by at least 6-7 goals. A small win would be disaapointing, a loss would be shattering.
#next we travel down the road to play Geelong, last years premiers and the benchmark of the competition for the last few years. Coming off a gutsy come from behind win against one the the flag favorites it will be as always, be a tough proposition.
As much as i would love a win, being within 5 goals at the final siren, to me, would be about par for the course. greater than that would be disappointing and 10+ would be very disappointing.
#after that we face west coast at docklands. Last years preliminary finalists, at this stage, are showing their form last year was not a flash in the pan. Even playing them in Melbourne will be a tough prospect, but to me a win is not beyond the realms of possibility.
In saying that, anything within a 3-4 goal margin would be about par for the course for me, but the funny thing is, close losses can be more frustrating than those mid range loses. A 6-7goal loss would be disappointing and 9+ would be very disappointing.
...so people, lets lay it on the line, how realistic are your expectations for the next 3 weeks?
