If we don't beat Essendon this week...

... and we follow up by playing Port Adelaide away, we could be sitting at 1-4 after five rounds and how bad that would be considering where we were predicted to finish.

But seriously, if we do lose to the struggling Bombers, could that almost be season over (in terms of deserving to play finals)? Well I don't quite think so but our top four chances would be gone and our top eight chances would be sliding drastically.

I would imagine we would beat Essendon, if we can kick a hell of a lot straighter at goal (ahem Kent), but a loss would be catastrophic, then needing to face-up to Port the next week.

Big clash this is. Big, big clash.

I think we can take Port.

I would say we could too, after what Adelaide did to them on the weekend. But over there, and on our current form? I couldnt say.

... then we are in big trouble. especially the way the bombers played yesterday. they are a pretty ordinary side.

Ooooh , and we have to play Brisbane in round 13 at the Gabba too and dont forget 2 game against the Saints on their home ground ,and play the Dees again, there awesome and the way we are playing they are Bullies are a serious threat round 6, why not just lay down now, lets go for the Priorority picks.

Come on guys lets not get ahead of ourselves

fair call, its bloody early in the season. however, I still think that if we can't beat essendon (even minus jimmy bartel) then we are in big trouble. no matter what stage of the season. they are a pretty ordinary football side.

If we end up 1-4, it's only the same position we were in at the same point last year, and we still made top four. Look who else has the same win-loss record as us - Brisbane, Port and St Kilda, the other top-four sides from last year, I believe. It's early days.

We are 1-2.

Can we drop the 'season over' talk?

 

[GazDude]

Beat Essendon and remember last season how close we got to Port 1st time

ROund 1.
We played good footy, won by 10 goals... richmond did score 15 goals though

ROund 2.
We gave it to the eagles for 3 quarters and tired in the last.. innacurate but still showed abit

Round 3.
Our FIRST bad game!! We only lost by 8 goals because of our innacurate kicking!! Imagine how the dee's would of felt if we were only 20 points down because they were innacurate too?? Its only round 3 guys, stop criticising and get behind the team and see us improve!
