We are one hell of a tough team though.Just had a look at our next 6 games. There's one, lone, solitary relatively 'easy' game in that lot. We play 5th tonight, 1st next week, 2nd the week after, a resurgent tigers the week after (who have beaten 1st and 2nd and have a good record against us in recent years), and then after Carlton we play the wEagles in Perth. And with one of our absolute best out of action indefinitely, we are truly about to see what the Hawks of '15 are made of...

I don't know why people are worried about our draw, unlike the other teams it isn't like we have to play Hawthorn.
Exactly. That was a perfect storm. Every 50/50 moment went their way and we were caught flat footed and our defensive structures in disarray after Lake went down (and Frawley out).Dunstal said that the first quarter from port against us was possibly the most pure quarter of football he's ever seen.
They just beat us.
Every team to beat us this year has played out if their skins.
Our average loosing margin is less than a goal.
It's easy to simply say that "we've lost to average teams this year"

We have a tough block of games right now and we'll need to do it without Roughead and Frawley. Lose to either Swans or Eagles and we'll be at least 2 games off 2nd spot. And I looked at the Eagles draw last night and it doesn't get significantly harder.You guys..
There is no way you will not finish top 2 and do the 3peat.
As all footy fans acknowledge, your best, which we are yet to see this year, is simply the best.
When it is really on the line, there is no team that can beat you in September or October in Melbourne.
Collingwood are the October GF specialists, so they are my get out of jail team, but they just do not have the class this year to make it to GF day. Pity though, would be an awesome GF.
Next year- Pies Hawks.
This year, Hawks Freo, and we know the result. Beware WCE, but they can not beat Freo.
Yes, we are indeed. What a game of inches and tiny units of measurement it is, it's very tough to think that a lousy 2 more seconds in the 1st Bombers game and we'd be sitting in 3rd, above Sydney, and one game off Freo in 1st, whom we play next week in Tassie. Oh, what could have been....We have a tough block of games right now and we'll need to do it without Roughead and Frawley. Lose to either Swans or Eagles and we'll be at least 2 games off 2nd spot.

Hawthorn are still very precariously placed. We should still be a decent shot from 3rd or 4th spot though.
Had we lost Friday night we'd be just one game off 8th too. Next 4-5 rounds is going to see a lot of movement.Yes, we are indeed.

I get us about 10th.Playing around with ladder predictor and I've got us finishing everywhere from 1st to 4th. We'll just have to let the season play out and hit the finals with everything we've got.
Most interesting thing is I get the pussy cats missing the 8 by half a game though...

We were a bit old and slow on Friday1991
Is it just me, or are the teams above us looking just slightly scratchy and beatable?
Yep. And us. And the teams in the group immediately below us. Only sides in good form at the moment are too far out of the 8 to matter.Is it just me, or are the teams above us looking just slightly scratchy and beatable?
Well this year, we have been our greatest enemy.I don't know why people are worried about our draw, unlike the other teams it isn't like we have to play Hawthorn.
