And beat Hawthorn, who wiped the floor with Fremantle. And Fremantle struggled to beat West Coast (difference between struggling to beat West Coast and struggling to beat Essendon?). And Geelong hasn't lost in Victoria in 2014. Agree wholeheartedly that Sydney and Fremantle are the standouts right now and I honestly don't think we can beat either, if we have to play an away final against the Swans or Dockers. But I think you're kidding yourself if you expect Fremantle to waltz into Simonds and take the four points without a big fight.
Unsure if you saw the game, but the only time Eagles were in the game was when we clearly weren't stamping our foot down. Hence the Ross Lyon spray right after the game, as he was clearly having a go at laziness. It's something out of the ordinary that I wasn't worried in the slightest that Eagles were going to win despite making a 'comeback'. Might sound as if I lack grace and I apologise for that, but certainly Ross Lyon will be making sure they don't switch off again regardless of opposition.
Also in regards to both West Coast and Adelaide, the cross-town games were their Grand Final and that is something to consider for both Freo and Port.
It'll be a tough game at Simmonds, but Geelong lately have looked shakey by their own standards... but we all know that could turn round as easily as of this weekend.
