Essendon are now the one to watch out for - They can win the premiership

[JayJ20]

based on the last 2 weeks, we will be lucky to win any of those.

Richmond played pretty well. Next two weeks vs Gold Coast away and Carlton will be tough without Setterfield, Hobbs and Parish, but after that we can hopefully at least be competitive in the midfield again.

 

[HBFlanker]

Yeah winning close ones is new to us

Winning close ones against bottom 6 teams.

Looking forward to it stacking up against good sides.

Collingwood are 1 win, 1 draw and 2 losses against teams above them so far.

Thats Mediocre. No cattle left. Will limp into the finals potentially but this isn't their year.

 

[Maxabillions]

I didn't agree this.

For Essendon it will be "the loss they had to have" before their meteoric rise to premiership glory.

If Carlton somehow manages to win I put it down to pot luck.

It’s the showdown between the two premiership favourites. It only ends one way - ultimate glory for the winner and yet more tears for the loser.

Setterfield?

Really?

 

[Jibroni]

Hopefully the first finals match will be Essendon v Melbourne. A team that hasn't won a final in years vs the regular straight sets exiters!!

Thanks, we need to play them again as we also have the shame of the team that lost to them in 2004.

I'm glad you're not providing motivational talks to the club. The record against teams in March/April means fuclk all come September, its the fact the Pies wont likely finish top 4 so its not looking great. Although after being 0-3 and then not losing since i cant keep up with the narrative. Dons look good though to keep on track

 

[JayJ20]

Setterfield?

Really?

Yeah as a defensive inside mid. Brings a big body to the midfield mix. Carlton were stacked with inside mids and played him on a wing which isn't his position. He's done pretty well for us as an inside mid.

More like the Paralympics before the actual ones

 

[HairyO]

Second best team in it for mine at the moment.

They can go deep into September.

Still 6 or so goals away from Sydney but everyone is.

By the end of July they could very easily be in 8th spot. Have you seen their draw over the next 6 to 8 games?

Exactly my point. Wouldnt shock me if they miss completely.

Huge game this weekend for the pies.

I think he meant Essendon but your point is valid. Rough few weeks personnel wise for us

Sorry i was referring to Collingwood.

Nah Essendon are fine. Will finish top 6.

Oh no

 

[Westlo]

Beat the undefeated in Queensland Suns or the high flying Blues in front of a suspected 90,000 and the wider AFL community will finally take us seriously.

Nah they won't because they'll be out the 8 (even if because of losing to us)

 

[HairyO]

In the next 4 weeks we will know if they are top 4 or bottom of the top 8. I suspect 7th or 8th, but the way so many teams are playing at the moment they may lose a few they should win, but all the teams around them do the same.

 

[Shane Heard]

you aren't as good at trolling as the other Carlton bloke.

You are the Pepsi to his Coke.

To be fair he isn't that good either. So maybe Vanilla Coke.

I reckon most of our fans are pretty realistic that we arent a top 4 team.
I think sneaking into 8 would still be a good season but 5/6th and getting a home final should be the aim and considering what we were expecting before the season started, thats a great achievement.
But yeah other than eagles at home the next 6 games is when we will really see where they are.

 

[MisterMarcus]

They have a bit of a weird funny draw in the second half of the season.

A real tough stretch - on paper, at least - for the next 6 weeks, then easing off significantly after that before 2 hard games in the final two rounds.

 

[Mootsy]

rest of the season should be about preserving a stable energy factor, not thrashing teams until the finals begin, at least...

These comments contradict each other.

Unfortuantely the 3-0 start is going to bite them considering they will have about 20 fit players soon.

Doesn't contradict shit you've just got a hate boner for any theory that doesn't involve Collingwood imploding

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Really should make finals from here

5 more wins should do it

Prepping for another 96pt elimination final belting?
