Its been 4 seasons. Let it go... let it goooooooo
I don't mean from a turncoat perspective, I don't care about that.

I just mean, you were on us when we were bad, switched in 2011-12 when we came good, and GC were terrible, then switched back as we slid down and GC flew up ;)

Suns (H) - We are favourite, can you believe that
Saints (A)
Freo
Sydney (H)

Lions (A)
Tigers (H)

Adelaide (A)
Pies (H)

I think we should win 3, we could win 5. Green we are favourites, orange is winnable, Red heavy underdogs.

Tigers at home makes me very nervous. We are a better side than them but their midfield strength and ability to 'show up' around 4 times a year is worrying.

Make or break, pack it in or fight for finals, respect and a challenge on both Free Agency for one genuine elite midfielder and a premiership in 2015. Personally don't think that the next 2 months is unfriendly and we should go into each match with a chance.

Book mark it. Stand by to be crucified, but hey, its only BF, but watch this space Comrades.
We should be able to win the next 2 games, after that we face Freo and Sydney at home, those are the only 2 games we should lose but if we can somehow knock off Freo (or both freo and sydney) that would be epic!

We are currently 4W 7L, there are 11 games left, if we can win 8 or 9 we will play finals, also we have a pretty good draw

You're mad.

Sydney's in a league of their own, and Fremantle can kick our midfield's ass so much we couldn't sit down for the Brownlow in 2020

What he says in that article is not close to your assertion that we've gone backwards under him.

For clarity this was your assertion:

ndot said:
it's pretty evident that the playing group have lost faith (assuming they ever had it) in the game plan and overall match day strategy.

yet again, the year is a write off. at least simpson is realistic to acknowledge we have gone backwards under his tenure
This is what Simmo said:

"We've been pleased with how we're developing but we took a step backwards today," Simpson said.

Your assertion is either deliberate BS to provoke an argument or you're a complete fool who doesn't grasp the English language ...

So, were you going for deliberate BS or rank idiocy?

Insert Matt into any of those highlights that involved Kerr, Cousins or Judd. Visualise outcome ....

Matt has the ball in midfield; instead of hand-balling to a bursting-through Judd, he blindly snaps over his shoulder - in which the ball floats 30m toward a leading out of CHF Hansen - who then goes on to drop an uncontested chest mark, leading to a turnover and the ball traveling 120m back the other way for a goal to the opposition in the space of 30 seconds. That's how I envision the outcome.

Cmon I went to games in 1987 - that's unfair, Im sure there are many on here that cant lay claim to that. Ill wear the turncoat, I simply wanted to add something and get my kids involved and take them to games cause it is down the road. I simply realised that you cant change sides in your heart :-(

Based on 2006 form you're right!

6 Wins 1 Draw 4 Losses

Suns (H)
Important that we make a good start at home as we haven't been too flash on the wide expanses we once ruled, need to get the run and carry and minimise turnovers against this young and emerging side that will not be a pushover by any means

Saints (A) We are a much better side than the Saints, yet we thought that against Carlton didn't we? Seriously our midfield should win out and if we can hit our targets I cant see why we shouldn't be a good chance

Freo (Draw) I am calling this a draw, we should be sick and tired of Freo having our measure and produce a special effort that will take it right up to them but some drama in a tight finish with scores level after the final siren

Sydney (H) If we do not play our best game of the year we won't trouble the Swans, regardless of where we are playing

Lions (A) No excuses for not picking up the 4 points on footy's longest roadtrip

Tigers (H) A bogey side of the past I can see us put end to that and come out on top

Adelaide (A) Crows should be 2 or 3 goals too strong in Adelaide

Pies (H) Collingwood in a thriller

Essendon (A) I see this as a 50/50 game but lean towards us especially with one less quality mid to worry about

Melbourne (H) We will expect a more competitive Melbourne outfit but must avoid them dictating the flow of the game and get our run and carry going and not look back

Suns (A) another 50/50 with the Suns getting up but lets hope not

We haven't had an official draw in ages, 2nd longest drought of all the established teams (ie excluding GWS/GC who have both never had a draw) http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/fun-facts-about-drawn-games.643786/. Debatable re: whether the 07 final against collingwood should count as a draw since scores were tied at the end of normal time. I want to forget what happened after that :(....

If we have a draw I think it's more likely to be against Collingwood.

1. Delusional but I can see it mathematically prediction :p- 10-1
Wins-10 Suns (to start the ball rolling, plus we have never lost to them :)). Saints, Freo (overdue, very close earlier in the season), Lions(overdue and they'll have a heap out), Tigers (ok they beat us last year but they're playing worse than last year), Adelaide (shame we're not playing them here, we beat them away last year and neither of us have improved from last year), Pies (very overdue, came close earlier in the year and beat them at subi last time we played here), Essendon (good time of year to be playing them plus this remains our most recent good win), Melbourne , Suns (if we've won all the other ones, this will be no biggie :p)
Losses- 1- Swans. Our biggest bogie team ever. Records against Collingwood/Freo/Essendon are nothing compared to this. Doesn't matter where we play them either as we've had more home than away games against them in recent times. The only game other than Geelong at skilled that I'd written off preseason. I may have changed my mind temporarily after they lost to GWS, but now, fresh from the Geelong thrashing (that was one scary performance), I cannot see us winning under any circumstances.

2. Realistic Prediction 5-6
Wins- Suns home, Saints, Lions, Tigers, Melbourne . ie win all the games we start favourites in, lose all the rest


3. Pessimistic Predictions 1-10
Melbourne game to be our only win. And that's it.

The worst part is that 3. seems way more likely than 1. at the moment.

We had two draws in 2003 didn't we. Funny how time flies, wouldn't believe it was 11 years since Sampi took that match saving grab and Braun hit the post in the dying seconds.

Bugger me sideways there are some delusional contributors to this forum.

Before you go attacking one of the greatest WA footy players that ever lived, consider that what I say is heard by millions.

You can all suck my ginger balls.
Ginger Balls.

Ingredients
1 can of condensed milk
1 packet Yo-yo biscuits, crushed
1 cup preserved ginger, chopped
1/2 cup coconut
1 tspn ground ginger

Method
Form into balls and coat with 125gms of melted copha, mixed with 75gms of icing sugar and 45gms of cocoa.
Stand coating mix over hot water, while using toothpicks to dip balls into chocolate.
Chill, then punch Brad in the face.
