Predictable but amusing. Amazing how somehow it's always brought back to the big, bad Hawthorn.

Will give him a little slack this time, 1,000 days as premiers would do be very difficult to handle to the bitter and hateful.

Our premiership odds shortened after last night somehow. Clearly the punters are unperturbed as am I.
You should be perturbed.

Sure you can say your record against good sides is great but you want to be beating the crap sides too to ensure you finish top 4. If you dont finish top 4 you won win the Premiership, history tells us as much.

We'll get top 4. Need to lose probably 3 more to miss out with our percentage. So yeah, not worried as we have 1 really good team to come, two decent teams and all at home, our real home. Also Essendon, BL, Melbourne and Richmond and Freo to come (before Sandi will be back). 4 games at KP. Won't lose 3 from here.

Maybe but nobody thought you would lose to the Saints either and yet here we are.

and nobody thought we'd beat Hawthorn or Adelaide in Adelaide either. Worth noting that the undefeated at the time NM and the Hawks barely scraped by St.k... yes we didn't get them and imo we have ourselves to blame, blew an inordinate amount of chances that cost us the win but with 4 games at home to come and the bottom two sides as well as our perrenial bitches, Richmond. I will be utterly staggered if we lose 3 from here to miss the 4.

Time will tell I guess. I think Sydney and Hawthorn will finish top four. North will fade, Adelaide are going along very nicely, GWS too. We have a favourable draw on the run home now too. Plenty to play for yet.

Just on North, that start was deceiving. 9-0, since 1-4. Yikes. They have us next at Subi aswell. Could be 1-5 although no NN and we may get raped in the ruck.
Bit harsh mate. Literally half our team is out with injury or are playing through injury. Ironically, the same thing happened to your mob in the year you got the no.2 pick which resulted in Natanui
