Brisbane are pretenders based off ? Haven't lost a game yet
We’ll know by Anzac Day if we are still a chance or not. Agree if we lose the next 3 top 4 is closed and just making the 8 will be a task. Saying that we made the 8 after being 3-10 and winning our last 9 games in 2014 so you never know.
When the second and third tier players cement themselves by making up for a graders with the night off then will be genuine contenders. They have a talented young list and will be there about the eight come finals.Brisbane are pretenders based off ? Haven't lost a game yet

Beating last year's premiers + Port who were previously undefeated isn't good enough?
We need to beat this year's most overrated team in Essendon as well? I guess that can be done too.
At least that was morally right.I don't think anyone can honestly rate contenders and pretenders after only three rounds of a season where there have been such substantial rule changes. Like many of the coaches have said, no one is 100% sure if the strategies they have planned out will work yet.
Interesting to keep in mind that in 2018, after Round 3:
Port were 1st
Adelaide were 3rd
West Coast were 5th
Gold Coast were 6th
Richmond were 9th
Collingwood were 14th
Two of the prelim finalists weren't even in the 8 at that point, and two teams that were top 4 didn't even make finals.

People say this every year. Half way through the year things can still be unpredictable.Maybe my memory is blurred but has there ever been so many teams that we don’t have a good read on after three rounds? Reckon Geelong and West Coast have stamped themselves as contenders, maybe GWS too and probably nobody else. Collingwood, Adelaide, Hawthorn, the Bulldogs, Richmond, Brisbane and Port we don’t have a clear reading on yet, and the slow starters Melbourne and Essendon might have their mojo back too. It’s a very odd start to a season.

Nah, they're gone.Think people have been far too quick to write off the Tigers. They'll have Dusty Cotch and Reiwoldt back in 2-3 with a bit of luck. If they can grind out one or two wins against Sydney Port or Melbourne it's still early enough to turn it around.

Melbourne are rapidly falling out of finals contention.
That's what happens when you finish in the bottom 4 what do you expect they're fixture to look like?Just looked at Brisbane fixture. The away teams they play this year- North, Essendon, GC, Bulldogs, Fremantle, Carlton, St Kilda, GWS, Port, Hawthorn and Richmond. What a ******* dream run until about round 16
Not playing any good teams away until the end of the season. Perfect to set up a top 4 birth in the first half of the seasonThat's what happens when you finish in the bottom 4 what do you expect they're fixture to look like?
Collingwood looked ordinary tonight. Fell over the line against a side who lost to Gold Coast last week. Do they play finals? I’m not so sure...
GWS and Geelong might challenge WCE but everyone else is just making up numbers.
They’ll play finals all right mate, unlike your mob.
