to tag N. Daicos again? I think Longmire would do that… swans not without a chance .. but woods at the G I think.

 

[Hamingja]

I think Swans will build and be thereabouts at finals time but Pies at the G screams massacre to me based on their current form and recent outings at the G against us and Melbourne.

Wonder if Oscar likes the colour combination blue & white...

 

[Mr Meow]

Bombers are not a bad side at all. People underestimated the fact that we held them off easily last week while heavily depleted.

 

[Gunf]

Go the Bombers ( makes me slightly sick)

Bombers have always had good talent but now they finally have a good coach

 

[winty]

Bombers doing to Port in the first quarter what we did to them last week.

 

[Mr Meow]

Agreed. Neither of thes sides are competition for the top 4 spot we want, but both will be in the dog fight for final spots in the 8.

 

[Gunf]

So has Hardwick given a reason why the Tigers fans couldn't find the MCG this week? Is it soulless like Marvel? or they just can't be bothered when they suck?

We all know the answer they are bandwagoners.

 

[winty]

Been some decent (and legal) shirtfronts in this game.

They only got 7,000 more than we did yesterday, and we had half the ground out of action due to redevelopment.

 

[Gunf]

I expect Port to come out breathing fire after half time and get the win but would love it if ESS could hold on would mean we drop to 5th at worst.

Port are a legit top 4 aspirant, imho.

Pies
Demons
Lions
then any of Port, Cats, Saints,
Swans, Dogs, Blues, Bombers, Tigers by rd 23

That bottom list is hilarious, headlined by Richmond. I appreciate you.

Ty. Mutual.
I think Tigers are not cooked, and could make the 8.
Like us, they have players to return.
I doubt one other team has the quality and volume of absent talent that we have.

My list is a lot more exclusive.

Collingwood
Brisbane
Geelong
Melbourne

Others will have their moments. St Kilda have an incredibly easy draw so may win 15 plus games. Bulldogs potentially in a similar boat. But the above 4 are the main contenders unless there's a 2016-esque Bradbury run.

 

[Hamingja]

They haven't played Demons yet.

Swans lost by 50 to the Demons at the G in round 3?

I'd cross Brisbane off too personally. Edit: ok we are talking top 4, I thought this was premiership chances. Brisbane will make top 4.

I don't think Melbourne are travelling great but their ruck and mid combo scares the bejesus out of me as a match up against us. Hopefully someone else takes care of them in the finals like last year.

 

[Munich]

Why are the commentators cheering for essendon quite obviously.

I just heard a "Yessss" when Draper ran off with the ball.

Wouldn't be surprised to see St Kilda sneak into the top 4, but otherwise yeah. They don't have the experience and personnel required to mount a serious assault this year. That said, I think their system is solid enough for them to potentially be a nuisance at times in September (a la Collingwood last year). Same goes for Port if they manage to get on a roll at some point.

I don't really rate the Bulldogs TBH - strong midfield but lacking too much at either end of the ground to be a legitimate threat. They'll most likely finish 7-10 again. Can definitively stick a line through Sydney too if they lose again today.

Would be ironic if we got him after all WCE did to keep him. Surely would be prime for the picking soon (contracted until 2025 unfortunately)

Vic commentators are biased towards Vics who wulda thunk

 

[YOTC]

What was with the Sydney players laying into Daicos? I'm confused.

I'm pretty sure it was Derrrrmot and Roscuito

So two complete idiots. Maybe they are confused again.
