Only a game & % outside the top 4 with our injury toll, anything is possible.If we manage to make the eight come finals time, there will be a few teams shittin themselves thats for sure.
If anything it confirms that we'll be fine. Yes we have key players out but our depth is good enough to hold us around the mark for now.Has yesterday’s performance/ result changed anyone’s prediction about where will finish?

It can tell a bit about game style but quality? No.

agreedPlayed interstate twice against teams we failed to beat last year at their grounds for 1 and 1, once we settle down we will be better overall than 2018 imo, although we may not win as many games, our depth will have improved.
Dimma said we peaked too early last year so we may be still a little underdone this year, we have been in all our games in the last quarter after losing players during the game in each loss and having Dusty way down on form.
Only Rance is out for the season, big loss but we are more than one player.
We often gave up more possessions but it wasnt by well over 100 a game, and we were also getting a much better spread of input from all players than we are this year
Worked for Collingwood and gws. They picked us apart through the middle playing like that. You give good teams 100 more disposals and you're not gonna do well most the time. Port are s**t.It’s also been exacerbated by the new short kicking possession style football every side thinks is the new and improved way to play.

Yes and no, we bought pressure against Port whereas against the other two we were at our worse for years.Worked for Collingwood and gws. They picked us apart through the middle playing like that. You give good teams 100 more disposals and you're not gonna do well most the time. Port are s**t.
He's not forgotten now!Can't win it without a fit and firing Mav Weller.
Thing is I don't think it's a commitment thing, purely because of the prelim last year. Surely the boys would have been putting in 100% in a prelim. I just reckon th3 best midfields have us covered but our pressure allows us to beat good midfieldYes and no, we bought pressure against Port whereas against the other two we were at our worse for years.
Chippy little kicks actually will allow more turnovers if our pressure is high enough.
The work rate on Saturday after the first quarter was right up there, players were willing to push across the ground to stop Ports spread, port may be s**t but we didnt beat them away last year and against Coll and GWS we were in it before injuries.
Not giving up on us yet.

Yep, theyre not top four but beat Melb first up and are probably a three goal better side at home than at the g.Worked for Collingwood and gws. They picked us apart through the middle playing like that. You give good teams 100 more disposals and you're not gonna do well most the time. Port are s**t.
