Good draw

[Tigerland]

Having a look ahead, the draw is certainly going to help us.

Round 8 v Collingwood - We have an 8 day break and they travel back from Perth.
Round 9 v Brisbane - at the Gabba but Brisbane travel the week before to Adelaide.
Round 10 v Melbourne - at the dome on a Friday night, nothing in our favour here. Our first Friday night game, maybe being on the media stage of a big TV game will bring out the best in some of the youngsters. We'd be not expected to win that one.
Round 11 v West Coast - We have a 9 day break and it's at the MCG. West Coast play Port the week before which would no doubt be a massive game - billed as the Premiers taking on the contenders - hopefully a bruising affair leaving West Coast licking their wounds.

I wouldn't discount our chances against Melbourne at all. Should be a great game.

Just hope melbourne doesn't deal with us like Geelong and St.Kilda did.

we have always matched up well against Melbourne, even during the Frawley famine years

 

[sante]

We should flog the Pies and are a chance for the next few. By the way, WCE need to lose eventually

I have a somewhat odd analogy (if that's the right word):

2004:
St Kilda are the new emerging talent. Wizard Cup champions, 10-0 in the first 10 rounds then they came across the 2003 Wooden Spooners - the Western Bulldogs. To everyone's surprise the Bulldogs snatched a brilliant win.

2005:
West Coast are now the new dominant force. Wizard Cup Runners up, 7-0 at the moment, and look like winning their next 3 (against St Kilda at Subiaco, Collingwood at the MCG and Port Adelaide at Subiaco) to be 10-0 by round 10. Round 11 they face the 2004 Wooden Spooners - The Mighty Tigers at the MCG.

Question is: Are we capable of knocking them off as the Bulldogs did the Saints last year? I know I'm getting a bit dreamy at the moment, but I could not help but notice the similarities.

 

[madtiger2005]

we can beat West Coast for sure at the G. We will put them away like we always have at the G. Just like we did with Freo, but not as easily

 

[Thrice3]

I'm going to that West Coast game, gonna stick it up my mate if we win. If things go well, I give us a good chance to aswell.
Like TW wants, I want the interstate clubs to fear stepping on the G to face this Richmond outfit.

R8 = Win
R9 = lose
R10 = lose
R11 = lose

 

[madtiger2005]

bentleigh u have no hope lol

 

[beaver's army]

R8 = Win
R9 = lose
R10 = lose
R11 = lose

i find that to be a realistic approach to the games ahead. not many would expect us to win against melb,bris n wce. but i would think we would get closer than most people expect

 

[Thrice3]

WCE have got to lose one sometime.
I would think we would be the only ones with a chance as they have
-West Coast Eagles vs. St Kilda Subiaco Oval
-Collingwood vs. West Coast Eagles M.C.G.
-West Coast Eagles vs. Port Adelaide Subiaco Oval
I can see them winning all of them.

 

[madtiger2005]

i don't expect us to win or lose. But I honestly think we will beat West Coat. I can see us making life hard for Melbourne also. Brisbane will improve and I think they will be the toughest game of the three

 

[Bentleigh]

i don't expect us to win or lose.

Another profound madtiger comment.

a few draws comming up?

bentleigh u have no hope lol

You are a stupid little man.

 

[madtiger2005]

i said I don't EXPECT us to win or lose. Expect is the key word. In other words I'm not going to predict either because I can't picture us struggling against or belting west coast. You UNDERSTAND? I think we can win but I'm not going to say we are going to win. Is that enough information for you or do you need more?

 

[sante]

If we somehow defeat Brisbane at the GABBA then we are huge chances vs Demons and WCE
