Dare I say the term flog' - even used by Canberrans, who are usually pretty discerning - has more meaning than ''a Bradbury". Do you mean we'll slide undeservingly to a flag? Not likely at the moment - more like wire-to-wire.
With respect, toughen up Fred.

Looking second rate against Essendon was a good sign they are not the same team as they were... they have the capability to play really good footy (second half against Port, North last week, against Bulldogs) but I question their consistency. We'll see how they go further on in the year.
Yes, your ability to judge intent is about as bad as the MRP's
I have said it before we need a sarcasm smilie.

I don't think he was saying don't worry about them or dismiss them. On exposed form they aren't travelling that great. Historically we know they are going to be a force. I'd like to think we don't worry about any team rather we plan and prepare and then in current form we dismantle them!

form is fickle... that is the case for all teams.
No one seriously bought into collingwood remaining in the top four did they? They looked impressive against... carlton? I think that exposed form says that the top four will be very similar to last year with maybe one change.
We beat the cats easily away from home. I think they will push into the top 6-10 range. Log jam of teams in that range. We are 5-0 and I would think would need another 12 wins max to finish top two maybe top. Good times!

Not so. Footscray are adamant they are not shifting game. Agreement reached with Gil and FFA for future years but not this time.
I have now booked flights and accomm and got medallion club.

True. we're not that far ahead of the pack though - we drop a game tonight and we're 2nd. We drop one to the Dogs, Hawthorn, North, Port and we're back in the pack and could finish anywhere from 1st to 6th
Well Saints just fixed that up. There goes your scorched earth scenario.
We win tonight and we are two games clear; after just six rounds.
Just accept it people we are a standout team. Play it down as much as you like but I called our destiny a while ago.
I love both your optimism, and the fact that your optimism appears justified. Much more than my cautious pessimism anyway.
Well done Clem. You'll get there.

I'm trying to view the team the way I'd analyse other teams rather than with two decades of hurt added in. Since doing that looking at our strengths and draw etc it's all a lot more positive.
For the first time in our history I think we have the best midfield in the league. And it's ridiculously well balanced as well!

One swallow doesn't make a summer
In any case, we're doing well - nobody is saying otherwise. Lots of games still to be played though.
I feel that the stars and moons are aligning in the right positions (thank you GWS!!), for us to stake a real claim at top 1. It is the age of Aquarius and all that
The last time a single team was 2 games clear on top by round 6 was Melbourne in 1956

6-0
Sitting in the stands last night. Not concerned for one minute of the game for the first time ever (bar that Collingwood thrashing years ago... Good times) was a ridiculously good feeling. Watching Lyon rotate fyfe to full forward and sandi forward and Mundy back and them all getting rest.... I've decided to enjoy watching the team I always hoped we would be. Star players on every line... Plus the best player in the league at 23 and young hungry potential guns in the seconds....
Surely now even though it's a long season we all agree it's a failure if we aren't top two from here?

So the key to beating the hawks is tagging Lewis and Hodge
I think they should have won, but it seems they're on a possible decline. GWS aren't really a team the hawks should be losing to. We played without Barlow and Fyfe against Port last year and still won (If i recall correctly)
