Do we have a problem with Docklands?

I really think we will struggle at Etihad this year.
Even Essendon beat us there last year.

plus we also got over the line against carlton in a game we had no right to win and from memory we struggled in the first half against the tigers but our class got us through in the end.

Opposite, great first/2 vs Tigers, then we looked abysmal. Same effect.

thanks for clearing that, my mammary aint what it used to be.

did we start off sluggish and then have one of those 10-15 minute purple patches in the first half?

If my memory serves me correct we played a heavy duty game against Collingwood the week before the Carlton one

Agree with all your points, and I see you think we'll struggle this week at Geelong against Tigers as well?

I think they have the same kind of quick release hand-ball game that seems to bother us atm. The difference between them and North though is the Tigers back line will be monstered by our forwards.
Still...any young and quick mid-field could be problematic this year unless we make an adjustment.

I agree with you. Just commenting on your prediction, unless that was an error, but doesn't sound like one.
