GWS went to Geelong as Grand Final certainties, the experts tell us so, they lost against the second top team on their home ground by just enough to drop their percentage under Richmond's.
GWS went to Adelaide to lose a game Richmond or Port or Sydney was expected to lose. They lost, now they are hopeless, a team full of champions not a champion team, badly coached, can't lift under pressure, the AFL investment of over 200 million dollars building this club have gone to waste ... because they lost to the top team Adelaide in Adelaide.
If they beat WC on the weekend they will start favourites to beat Richmond who after all just won their first final in 16 years, the win made them second favourite for the flag when a week earlier we were going out in straight sets to Geelong then Sydney. Still we will be outsiders if expected to win again.
Sydney beat Essendon in Sydney, no surprise. Now they play Geelong, who are also now hopeless because they lost their first game to Richmond in over a decade. If Geelong beat Sydney thats ok because Geelong finished 2nd after all but then they lost to Richmond so its too late for them to be good in 2017.
If Sydney win they will start favourites to beat Adelaide in Adelaide even with Adelaide the premiership favourites. They are then expected to romp away with the premiership against whoever.
Every game is earth shattering every win or loss classifies a team as hero's or zero's.
These experts sure like to wind us all up with as little knowledge of the future as any of us.
In 3 weeks time there will be one premier .... and a lot more perspective.
