Nah. We finish 1st, Eagles 3rd. They lose away to Swans. Then trounce some team from the bottom eight coming into a "home" Preliminary final with their tails up. We wallop them in a bruise free run into meeting Sydney in the GF.
You guys are too generous.
They fade to finish ninth and choke to death as they watch us raise the cup

Yeah I agree with the final statement of better teams. I'm just surprised with them and even with some key injuries they have been winning.
The 8 looks very different to last season at the same point.

That's the spirit
McCarthy is a freaking jet. Not a gorilla but decent size, smart, athletic and mobile. Has a really aggressive attitude and competes fiercely.
Still haven't forgiven GWS for taking him. Would have been a perfect Pav replacement.

But that will take away to much hope in the future. We want them to have a North/Richmond style dynasty of mediocrity
watched the hawks v sydney game. Good teams the both of them. Still think there is more to fear in hawthorn. They missed some sitters in the last and rioli fumbled running into an open goal. Glad they didn't get the win, makes it harder from here for them, but they still have a team full of weapons.
Would be nice to play them in season at the G. Get a run at them before another possible GF. They cant really afford to stumble again from here on out which will put some pressure on their team, and some of their guys got a couple of knocks. Hodge back next game, but they play sydney away again yet and in their form who knows where they will finish. You wouldn't want to be a vic team finishing above them and playing them first up in a final. Would be confident we could get them at domain though. We would go in favourites and look at a 18-24 margin. At the G... who knows!
I can't believe we were given Launceston this year after proving we are a better team than many others - it's like they just wanted to favor a Vic team
Just a shizen draw. Money driven not competition driven. Very frustrating to say the least!
Nah, it's our own fault. We gave nothing last year at the MCG in the grand final replay when we had the chance.

If we still have a bit of a buffer on Hawthorn and Sydney come the Launceston trip, I wouldn't be against sending half a team like a couple of years ago.

I suspect it would have made little difference whether we gave a decent show or not (as it turned out of course). Hawks have to play certain amount of games in Tassie, they're not going to send a big drawing Melbourne team there. If we had have played them in the GF again last year, maybe then as another 'replay', but otherwise we'll always be down the list of games we'll play at the G. It's about bums on seats and $$.

Well here's hoping our performance this season will see us get some more gigs at the MCG, and a few more Friday night games

I don't really care for Friday night games in the scheme of things. Good for us Dockers fans if we had more of them, but for the players it invariably means 6 day breaks and I reckon you're better off sticking to more 'regular' time slots for continuity in training and general game prep etc.
Having said that, I reckon Ch7 would be doing their head in with the Friday night game schedule. They're probably banging on AFL House's door demanding a refund on their rights deal over the way the scheduling has turned out.

I look at it from a brand building and future revenue point of view. Not so much the fixtures
Might do our confidence wonders though - to knock them off at their Tassie Cauldron - a bit like Geelong at Skilled doesn't represent any concerns for us anymore.
I hope Port's performance is taking the wind out of their more arrogant supporters sails. Before our game against them had one of theirs tell me I was dumb because I mistakenly believed that Freo were a better side and that it was only ports fitness that got over freo last year.
Who's the dumbarse now?

Pretty sure we have a couple Friday night games and a Thursday game on the horizon.

Channel 7 have a lot of input into who plays on Friday nights.
