4-4

[Bulldog1954]

The season isn't looking flash now but it will turn around IMHO.

After getting pumped next week, we have Freo and St Kilda over here and Carlton at Optus. I really think we will win all those 3, it is impossible for Freo to beat us, St Kilda are a joke and Carlton aren't much better. If we play anyhwere up to our potential we will be 4-4 and back in the game

Our season will turn around.What are we now 1-3 or something, if we put up a good fight against brisbane(might even win) then we should get confidence and come back to melbourne and beat fremantle, st.kilda and carlton.
I dont think we can expect the team we have now to play four good qtrs, cause of all the young guys that we have in the team right now, but yeah hopefully they come along really quick and start playing some really good footy, and hopefully get a few wins.

Pretty sure we all would have used the perminant marker for the Carlton games last year too

Nothing's a given, but i think your synopsis could be on the money

I had a win pencilled in for Richmond, and every other game a loss, up until carlton and freo. We are improving in fits and spurts. It was great to see several times during the game vs. the dons that the dons simply stalled bringing the ball out of defence because every single dons player had a red white and blue shadow, and I mean every last one. I remarked to an essendon friend that I hadnt seen that type of coverage from us for a number of years.

Our talls are going to have to step up and thats all there is too it.

We'll go 19-3. No doubt about that.

A bit optimistic I think.

Freo here "should" be a win.

StK and Carl are 50-50 on current form. No way are we clear favourites for either.

We are playing better than both those sides and have very little chance of losing to either

I'm with k9-54. Saints can turn it around just as easily as us, and the Blues are starting to put it together. I don't think either will finish in the bottom two, whereas we can.

Sorry to be a wet blanket.

We are far far better then St Kilda. They pull one out of their .... every 5-6 weeks and thats about it. They are cowards. If they beat us Patrick Wiggins will be my avatar for 3 months

I don't think any game is a gimme. Some opposing teams have more weaknesses than others but we are not playing well enough for me to mark any game down as a certainty.
After round 1 I was confident of beating Richmond and we were let down.
One game at a time.

Good to see some positive thinking b'54. If we hadn't made so many errors and missed so many goals we would have beaten Essendon. We could have easily beaten Richmond and Melbourne as well. We could just as easily lose to Carlton, St Kilda or Freo, however. It is a good idea to keep in mind that we are not playing that badly and can still beat any team on the day...maybe not Brisbane but i guess we will see on the weekend.
