Next 3 weeks are winnable

[mightytiges]

Last night wasn't a game to write home about skill-wise and we're a long long way from being a decent side but the next 3 weeks are all winnable games and we should go into them with some confidence after the Brissy win and the fact we knocked off the Blues, Bombers and Swans in the corresponding games last year.

Carlton is no gimme given they'll have Fevola and Waite back up forward and we've lost to them even when they have been crappier than us the last few years. I would love it if we gave them another pasting at the 'G like last year  .

The Bombers are playing better than I thought they would be this year but losing diving boy for the year is a major blow.

The Swans have so far been in a premiership hangover and in any case we seem to match up on them pretty well either down here in Melbourne or up at the SCG. Usually down to the wire games most times.

I completely agree. Blues never really looked like beating an ordinary Swans performance at Docklands and I really believe we can do them and after that anything is possible. it is big game time now. Carlton, essendon aand the premiers in a row and we can do it.


Anyone like to predict the attendance v Carlton? last years round 7 at the G drew 52,234. I think that will be beaten. I don't predict a really huge blockbuster crowd - after all we are 1-3 and thay are no great shakes but at the G following a win ...what do you reckon? 55,000 plus?

I would say 60-65,000. The first game for both clubs at the new 'G on a Friday night might get some people to just rock up straight after work.

we should pump this game up for all its worth...big dollars for the club if they get it right.

[mightytiges]

Without getting too far ahead  of Friday night, SEN has just reported that Hird has done a hammy. If they're right then that's No Lloyd or Hird when we play the Dons next week. 

[PuntRdRoar]

does anyone know if we have agreements with essendon and carlton to share cash receipts or is it still home game side takes all. I heard today that we have an arrangement with both essendon and carlton...can anyone confirm.

I don't mind winning the next 3 games, as long as we manage to get a priority pick though 

[mightytiges]

Let's hope we find our goalkicking boots for the bombers  .

[mightytiges]

We're only % out of the top 8 

What a shame the Dons got done by a point in a hard slog . Hopefully we can run them off their legs in the second half.

the dons have not lost 5 str8 for a very long time! lets hope we are the team to add vinegar to their wounds!

but what scares me is that all the next 3 games are winable, this is when the tigers usually fall, when they are expected to win. lets hope the team is mentally tougher and can get on with it

I hope I'm wrong but Adelaide will pump us  . Dons and Swans games however are very winnable.
