in 2019 I don't really see any easy games anymore.
Except for Carlton
I remember looking at this block of games when the fixture came out and thinking it will be a period where we might get a breather after a tough opening draw. We're 5 rounds into this mixed up season and things are looking very different. And very interesting.
Our next 6 rounds will see us (sitting 4th) play off against 1st , 3rd, 5th, 7th, 15th and 16th. That's a block of games including St Kilda, Freo, Port, Essendon, Carlton and Sydney. I think it's a group of teams that will be a lot tougher than they may appear on paper. Their positions after 5 rounds, which have been earned, attest to that.
I think we'll learn a lot about our side and our chances over this period of time because it will be really challenging. Never a dull moment with this group! It'll be fun to watch.
Using your thinking about current ladder positions, our 2019 draw is now pretty nice. Teams we play twice have the following ladder spots: 7th, 8th, 10th, 14th and 17th.I remember looking at this block of games when the fixture came out and thinking it will be a period where we might get a breather after a tough opening draw.

Whilst there are teams like St Klida and Suns who are doing surprisingly well - where they’ll struggle is with consistent performances. It’ll be a lottery how well they play on the day and how well we match up against them. I think that’s what happened against Brisbane.
Sadly I don’t think Carlton can be relied upon to serve up easy games. Especially against us
Yeah, I know they’ve just won a game, but they’ve been playing alright - a lot lot better than last year.
I think Sydney will be an easy game. And Kangaroos when it happens, they’re clearly a mess.
The draw is really started to open up now, Thursday’s 4 points is was huge for us. To be sitting at 4–2 has us in a great spot to launch now and cement a spot in the finals by the half way point in the season, then really concentrate on hitting the top 4.
Season is building nicely and the boys are starting to hit their straps. Bring on Port on Friday night
As long as we play them, and they us like the last time we met, I’d cope with that.I reckon the Port game will be tough. We have a horrible record against them. I don't know why. If they match up well against us or what. But I reckon a real danger game for us.
Who is going?
I am.
If it’s a cold night, selfishly the stadium will help us the spectators.
But I’d rather it benefits the team.
You do get a good view from Marvel.
Well we better win thenYou have to huddle together at Marvel... cold as a witch's tit...
Well we better win then
with that said. both sides have very different personnel this year. and with Gray out and Neade who for some reason always caused us trouble I like our chances. the old classic 8 point game though. if we can get the win we can begin separating ourselves from that big packI reckon the Port game will be tough.

I will preface this with I haven't watched their games...with that said. both sides have very different personnel this year. and with Gray out and Neade who for some reason always caused us trouble I like our chances. the old classic 8 point game though. if we can get the win we can begin separating ourselves from that big pack

Marvel Stadium isn’t ideal, but Robbie Gray out is.
Not to mention no Polec or Wingard since we last played them either.Add Dixon, Hartlett, Watts and Jonas to those outs. Motlop can't get a game. That's a lot of good footballers who won't play Friday for them.
I still don't feel any more comfortable though.
