whats acceptable next week/ what do people expect?
« on: April 14, 2012, 08:36:04 PM »
Not expecting a win. Geelong will be quietly reminding themselves (and us) of the 10 goal shellacking we handed them during preseason and that the real stuff is now. Just want an honest effort from the boys, the only thing that would be unacceptable is a subpar effort and 10+ goal loss. Some big individual battles for some of our up and coming players, rance/Grimes v Hawkins/Pods, our mids vs theirs. Looking forward to it, teams have now more or less settled, this will be a good indicator of how we're travelling

Well I am actually with you MT, if we can get out of the blocks well and play with the skill we did in the NAB game down there and player like Martin, Lids, Riewoldt, etc.. Fire with the blokes that fired today we could pull this one off....

Everything must click though.

Yeah they will dissapear this week but will be back in force next week. We all expected 1-4 (hoped for better) but that wont stop them. 

As far as I go, I expect a loss  but Im hopefull that the preseason win was no fluke. The naysayers can go take a running jump for a few weeks yet.  Wouldnt  it be great if we could tell those who love to knock to pee right off with a win.

If we defeat WCE here then it is a reasonable effort at 2-3.

We have a decent cluster of 3 games after the Eagles, we beat them and being at 4 or 5 wins going into round 9 against the Hawks is doable.
