The MFCSS on this board is alarming at times. "Saints will be keen for revenge having learned their lessons"? If anything we played them in their best form of the year, they've looked pathetic since. The Bulldogs limped to a win v Richmond and have lost all their other games to top 8 sides. We've already beaten Carlton and Adelaide and if we can't back ourselves to back those up then we might as well just throw the towel in.
I think the Swans are peaking and Buddy will likely decimate us, but I like our chances in every other game for the rest of the year. We ran West Coast down to 6 points in Perth last year and we've improved more than they have since. And Port are terrible despite what everyone seems to think. 6 day breaks are among the most overrated concepts in the league. Most of our losses this year have been coming off 7 or 8 day breaks, and we've won half our games off 6 day breaks.
I'm not saying we're going to win any of these games, but we're clearly ahead of the competition and we're going to get two of our top three or four best players back in the next fortnight. If we don't make finals I'll be seriously disappointed, and I have a nasty feeling that it could only happen because of two losses by less than a goal to a couple of eventual bottom 4 teams (Fremantle and Hawthorn)
