Things i learned from round 16

[Demon3]

1.The Blues are kidding themselves if they think they can win the flag.

2. The Dogs and saints are still alive

3. Not even 9th spot is within the tigers reach

4. West Coast are the real deal

5. Can Mick Malthouse stop making stupid comments(Roos will make 8)

6. Gold Coast and Port have shut up shop for the year.

7. Any chance someone will tag Dane Swan

8. 55,000 for tigers v dons WTF

9. St Kilda can score 100 points, they had it in them all along

10. If the dogs dont sign Rocket the dees should swoop

 

[james brayshaw]

one week is a long time in bigfooty land

 

[BarcaRulz]

1. WB are finally playing like they should have been all season.

2. Saints doing well, but their real test is next week IMO.

3. People saying Geelong are done are idiots, still clearly the second best team in the comp.

4. Collingwood will not show mercy to any team, they WILL demolish you.

5. The fight for the top 4 and top 8 are going to be extremely interesting to watch.

 

[serenityNow]

-Eagles will make the top 4....amazing change
-Saints and Dogs will make the 8
-Pies are daylight ahead of the next best side.
-Carlton cant beat a quality side and will be the side WCE replace in the 4
-The tanking has begun for some

 

[Forward Press]

I don't think even the most ardent Blues fans thought they would win the flag this year.

North won't be the last side to be disgraced by Collingwood this year. They will rebound.

This ^^^

I am still yet to find a quote from any Carlton supporter saying that we will win the flag this year and currently we will struggle to be in the Top 4 with a few good teams still to come and we are looking at another knockout final again against a dangerous opponent.

 

[Damon_3388]

Any chance someone will tag Dane Swan

Ever thought that maybe they do, but he just, you know, beats the tag?

 

[RuFiO]

Carlton have great depth.

 

[FRUMPY]

carlton without waite are pathetic
north should stop talking up big games against big opponents
eagles are bloody good, best press in afl
tigers are done, put a fork in them

No one went even close to him today.

Change that to Jamo, without him, we are nothing!!

 

[Mancey]

Seemed to be head to head with wells all day.

 

[Clark G]

Essendon are far from done with.

 

[roosaints]

1. If they can avoid interstate trip sfirst up, St Kilda and Bulldogs will be dangerous floaters come finals time.

2. West Coast will not lose again at home this year. If they make top 4, they will play in a prelim.

3. Hawthorn have excellent depth.

4. Carlton do not.

 

[ioppolo]

Roos can beat bottom sides but get belted by top sides.
West Coast, watch out!
Carlton talked themselves up too much.
Saints & Dogs, about time.
Port Adelaide need some MASSIVE changes, they don't show much passion, at all (other then the 3rd quarter fight)

 

[Demon3]

Essendon are far from done with.

And your basing that on a win against Richmond? ok

 

[Lance Uppercut]

And your basing that on a win against Richmond? ok

Goldfish memory huh?

 

[theboxmike]

And your basing that on a win against Richmond? ok

If we win against the crows it will go a long way to securing a spot in the 8.....

Were basing it off seeing our best.....but i'm betting the **** Essendon will turn up next week.

 

[jko'neal]

5th on the ladder come the end of the season will not be a good spot to finish with St Kilda and the Bulldogs starting to fire.

That Collingwood are so far ahead it's not funny.

And the tank off has began from North down on the ladder. All of those sides will be fighting for the highest draft pick possible.

 

[sweethomeaussie]

And your basing that on a win against Richmond? ok

Wasn't a pretty win as well

 

[new breed]

• West Coast will finish top 5
• Collingwood are the team to beat
• NM wont recover from that , ... unfortunately
• NM might recover as Collingwood are in extreme form
• Carlton may not finish top 4
• St Kilda / WB are making 2011 are very interesting season
• GC might struggle to win another game
• GC might win because they play Richmond at Cazaly next week

I realise that, but I'm talking moreso about when he does get tagged. Maybe people need to give Swan credit for out-working and beating his direct opponent, instead of it just being assumed that he's being "allowed" to "run free".

 

[Clark G]

And your basing that on a win against Richmond? ok

I base that off our last two wins, and also the fact that apart from the Hawks game we were in the game in the last quarter in all of our losses. The next step is to win a game outside of Victoria which we have a chance to this Friday night.

 

[Forward Press]

I've rarely seen Swan get a heavy tag. If anything, players like Pendlebury, Shaw and pre-crisis Didak attract heavier attention.

Also learned that Heath Hocking can take a speckie!
