We are a different team

Thud! Reality check, we play Brissie, Port, the Roos, Richmond and the Hawks in the next 5 rounds. We could have the same record as last year after 9 or 10 rounds if we're not careful (all be it that we are definitely playing a better brand of footy). Very good test of character the next month.

Oh well. They fought on against Melbourne, which would have to be the biggest plus out of this game and this year - everyone remembers how we only lost to Collingwood by one point, but remember that they were out to a five or so goal lead at one stage. Keep that up and sooner or later, we'll overrun a side who think they've got us beaten.

I'd like to think we'd win at least two out of the next five, but let's see - I've been pleasantly surprised more than once this year.

Regardless, I still think we shall finish between 9th and 12th. With that I shall be happy, and those who predicted worse things for us this year deserve the bird.......

Well excuses they may be...but still it was always going to be a tough game and you have to remember that Melbourne is a top 4 team this year because its an even year

Anyways, we'll be right, the next 5 games will be very tough but i think we can compete with the best of them now. Last season i would have never even given us a hope of beating teams like Essendon and Brisbane but this year i think we can actually pull off a win. This weekend will be great, have a crack at ruining Brissie's record streak. When you think about it....every win gets you closer to your next loss, surely that loss is just round the corner
