Let's hopefully have a win against the scum

As good as our current position is it shouldn't be ignored that we still have 5 games to come against teams currently sitting 2nd to 8th.
Those are Gold Coast (A), Fremantle, Brisbane, Hawthorn and Adelaide (A).
If you take into account that GC still have a game in hand that they're very likely to win (against Essendon) then you have 5 teams we'll face currently sitting 10 to 12 pts behind.
Win the majority and sure top position should be a lock but lose a couple of what are essentially you're classic 8pt games then suddenly top 2 could be put at risk.
In comparison someone like Geelong doesn't play a single team currently inside the top 8 in the final eight weeks and only away games against the Giants and Sydney (should they continue to improve and play out the season) project as potential danger games.

It is crazy. And crazier still that despite our dominance over Carlton in the last decade or so, we still fear them. Or - perhaps more accurately for me anyway - we fear a loss to them. Itās the worst kind of loss.
Must be lingering PTSD.

Carlton are terrible. What that means is they are more likely to continue being terrible than produce something special.
We will win this with a leg in the air.

Second best percentage in the comp is disappointing. We should be busting a gut to win every H&A match by the maximum margin. What's the point of conserving energy? How has that ever helped win a Premiership?

Close wins in previous years, yes. Not this year so much.
True. Cats are a genuine chance to finish top. Our goal would be to lock in top two. Finishing first is a bonus, but second is fine. Win at least 3 of our next 4 and we look very good for top two.
It's definitely not the time for a stumble though. Lose 2 or 3 of the next 4 and we're at some risk of dropping below second. These games are crucial to give us a buffer so that we don't have to be too concerned about our last few games.
Unfortunate that we've got a few out, but we definitely have a strong enough team to take care of the Blues. Suns and Dockers will be tougher, then Richmond.

Which always surprises me when I see that comparison as I definitely know my heart rate & blood pressure is much lower at our games this year than it was during 2023
Thatās interesting about Geelong not facing a top 8 side in the last 8 weeks of the season.How on earth do they get away with such an easy draw,and why arenāt people upset about it?If we had a draw like that people would be literally frothing at the mouth about it.

The poster I replied to wanted to rest 6 players for the Suns game. I prefer any management of players is staggered, not manage half a dozen for one match.
Steele is essentially getting a rest this week anyway.
Carlton are the worst team at handling pressure in the AFL.
We apply the heat and they crumble and kick the ball straight to us.
Houston should and needs to have a big game with the amount of backhalf turnovers we'll get, he needs to start providing some rebound.

They were within a few minutes of playing in the bloody grand final! We finished out of the eight. It really pisses me off as Geelong has the luxury of resting players and coasting through most of the remaining games, many of which will be on their home shithole. But you are right- there's barely been a whimper from anyone-not even opposition supporters. We clearly are regaining the reputation for being the most hated club.

Because in 2023 we never got belted
The GWS Round 0 belting set our percentage back a little

Houston might get a run in the midfield now that Maynard is back, Sidebottom being rested opens a spot for him. Would like to give him a go there so we have something to turn to in the finals if needed

Surprised to see Will Hayes as an emergency.
