In our premiership years we start off in 2nd/3rd then crank it after the bye. If we are 4-1 after 5 rounds Everyone watch out.

I can see us going 4-1. Likely to beat Dogs, saints and GWS often trouble us early in the season though.

Regardless of who we play I just don't think we'll start fast, rather our conditioning and planning will be to build up to September given our age profile.

1. Lose vs Carlton     0-1
2. Win vs GWS          1-1
3. Win vs St Kilda      2-1
4. Lose vs Bulldogs    2-2

We often lose season games to Saints and GWS.

Often beat Dogs despite their quality.

Can't see us losing to Blues or Crows.

I'm thinking 4-2. 3-3 is possible but it won't be thanks to the Blues.

Beware of that cheating low life club. First game of the season with a new coach, will be trained up to give this game everything to sell the hope.

Didn’t help Malthouse, Ratton, Teague or Bolton ….
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Carlton won the first game of the season and the first game for Malthouse and Rattan. Lost Bolton's first game by 9 points

Teague's first game was a good win to us.

Last year we were just 4 points up at the 20 min mark of the last quarter

Just saying beware of Carlton in this first game. Can't take them lightly
