2012 Scalps

[DeeWong6996]

North Melbourne - I have always thought we have a better list than they do. Interesting to see where we play them.

West Coast at Perth - To show how much we have improved in a year.

Collingwood, Queens Bday - Wouldn't this just be fantastic.

Mmmmmmm, scallops...

Aami, Etihad, North. All the usual loses that break our hearts each year.

For me, it will be more important to see us compete week in, week out. Fearless, aggressive footy. I want players that attack every contest as though it's their last. If we don't have the talent to win most games just yet, so be it. I'll be patient. I want to see intent though!!!

I'm not going to say unrealistic things like "Geelong" and "Collingwood", even though I would love those. We need to beat teams around us. Essendon has been one that we have done okay against recently. Need to start beating North though.

Collingwood in 2012 will be beatable. I mean Bailey nearly managed to pull off two wins in 2010 and that says enough. With Neeld at the helm I'm looking forward to seeing what he does with them.

Having said that, the next time we travel to Skilled is purely our 186 redemption game and nothing more than a competitive effort would be acceptable.

Those teams around us though... methinks we'll be playing Adelaide at AAMI this season, not Port, and those games at Etihad that kill us we need to win (ie Footscray, North).

Richmond... last time if anything was an aberration, we were at our worst and we're realistically a five goal better list... for now. Could change this year either way.

GWS by 191 would be nice, breaking the winning margin record after holding the two biggest losses in history.

For mine its the same 3 teams i desperately hope every year

1. Collingwood- Speaks for itself, biggest game of the year for us and would love to win infront of the big crowd

2. Richmond- Just love beating them, we all know feral Richmond fans and i cant help but smile when we beat them, plus i always feel our list is a year infront of them.

3. Essendon- Ever since the way they treated us in 2000, i just want us to beat essendon every time we play them, plus we have played some rippers since.
ALSO, Carlton just purely on the fact of the bruise free game, and someone to cop 3 weeks for an off the ball hit on $cully

A win at Jihad, Patersons and AAMI would be nice but just personally those are the 3 that give me a smile during the season

Just a heads up, Richmond isn't a "scalp".

Ok, for me, a win over Hawthorn would be nice (if fanciful) and when was the last time we beat Carlton?

Morally we beat the filth last year.

Ok so how do you suggest we do this thread
Shall we just say we want to beat anyone in the top 8 and good teams away. End of discussion, close thread.


Or we could do it how it was intended and put he we personally would want to beat.

I Can not stand to lose to the tigers.

I Can not stand to lose to the tigers.

NG I died on the inside as well when we lost to the Tigers without Miller in the ruck but it still doesn't change the fact that they are meaningless.

I want a real scalp FFS!
