I'm bemused by the amount of people who are so sure that we CANNOT win the flag, that there is no way we could win an interstate final, that our chance for a top 4 finish, and chance for a flag is over. In round 8, while we are 5th, no less!
Why the **** are you all so determined to write us off? Am I the only one who finds it very annoying? Is it some sort of self-comforting measure, to prepare yourself for the worst so your delicate hearts won't be too hurt if we don't win?
What's to be gained by such pointless speculation? Why bother?
It's not even an opinion, it's nothing can be discussed, or debated...it's pointless guessing.
All I see here is "I think we will finish top 4", " Well, you're wrong, I think we won't" "well, you're wrong, I think we will," "i think if we finish 3rd we can't win" "Well, I think we can win from third!", etc etc etc etc etc ad infinitum.
This thread is like listening to bunch of drunks arguing about how many angels are swimming in their beer.
Me, I'll just watch the season unfold, and I'll know where we will finish at the end of August. I know in our culture 'sitting on the fence' is considered less desirable than making brash speculative pronouncements that later turn out to be completely and laughably wrong, but it's worked for me so far, and I recommend it as a method for seperating one's own biases, and catastrophising, from reality
Rant over! Grrrrrr! hangovers are bad, mmkay
At this stage we wouldn't beat Sydney or Fremantle away from home.
Still a long way to go to capture the required form and desire.
Like I think MinerBoy has already said - if Dockers are still undefeated by the time we get them in Lonny then they probably won't send a full strength team.This is spot on.. Although I have this funny feeling the boys are really going to set them selves for the Dockers in Lonny. All things going well we should be 9-4 but worst 8-5 and rollinh nicely.
We will beat them down there
Yeah, was only the maximum percentage possible on ladder predictor. So I guess I was harsh on Hawks

I can't stand that bridesmaid flog Ross Lyon... Don't bring your best team, no dramas. I hope we get them instead of the Syds on GF day if we get there again.
Well the tactics have worked for Ross the Boss before, he's got those premiership medals to show for it, right?
And he's got more Coach of the Year medals than Clarko!
Despite being 2 games clear of us they haven't been that much better than us this season. Freo is the only side that has been consistently better than us. Like others have said though our best is still better but we need to see it for longer than 20 minutes a game.I reckon Sydney will lose a few. Pencil in 2nd for us.
I think the difficulty this season is that the competition is much more even. I would have preferred for us to be playing a little better and be sitting on top like Freo, but the good news is that no-one is untouchable, so if we keep playing well, hopefully most of our bad beats are behind us.Despite being 2 games clear of us they haven't been that much better than us this season.

Mate we're sixth on the ladder west coast ain't giving in freo has number 1 locked in and neither are the pies going badly shitney are winning everything GWS well who knows what their story is, that could go either way.whats wrong with being realistic.i honestly cannot see the top four changing much from what it is now. Soft ....my ar$e.. So we don't make the top 4 it is what it is... We threw some tight games it just hasn't gone our way.I'm disappointed but still proud of b2b.Gee, I hope the team isn't as soft as you...
