Who do you think can win the flag?

[10571z]

So its 2 weeks in? Who can win the flag (even just a small chance)? Have you stuck a knife through anyone yet? Whats your thoughts?

Hawks, Eagles, Adelaide, North, Sydney, Bulldogs for me.

Richmond and Freo seem a long way off but it is a long season.

 

[I Lost My Keays]

Hawks

 

[The King!]

Hawthorns to loser

 

[10571z]

Hawks

Yep. It was scary to see them today. With the players missing they still dominated. Eagles need to work there MCG game out ASAP or try and get hawks in a prelim at subiaco

 

[Lsta062]

Hawthorn
West Coast
Adelaide
North Melbourne
Sydney
Western Bulldogs

Probably Geelong too at this stage. Hawthorn looks the most likely at this moment

 

[Ron The Bear]

Wide open.

 

[Jimmy Yamazaki]

Hawks.

None of the Vic teams will make the granny and none of the Interstate teams will beat them at the G.

 

[Eshay187]

Round 2 - should be talking about who can win next week.

Although probably the first year the bombers aren't being touted as favourites...

 

[SilentHunter_]

So one bad game for hawthorn and people write them off, one good game and people get back on them? Gee I know they're a good team but there's a long long way to go yet for all teams.

Hawks even with no Roughie, Hodge and to a lesser extent Hill looked awesome today. Think as their players return they will only grow stronger and increase the gap between themselves and everyone else. Though this weeks match against the high flying Doggies will tell us a bit more. If they put the clamps on a team full of confidence and wreck them the same way they did last season it may just boost their confidence to such a level they are simply unstoppable.

 

[rdhopkins2]

Only round two. Can't possibly make anything of it after 2 games.

 

[Bardo State]

It's round 2. The list of clubs that can't win it should be shorter than the list of those that can.

Dont forget Sheil

Gotta be Gold Coast
They beat Essendon
Who beat Melbourne
Who beat Giants
Who beat Geelong
Who beat Hawthorn

So they MUST be the best

We have to accept , they are virtually impossible to beat at the MCG I'm scared to play them in round 5 in Melbourne

 

[NathanMX]

Dont forget Sheil

Yep him too, if they repeat the dose next week against the ladder leaders it will be very hard to see who will stand a chance once they have their full list back, Sydney maybe? Freo if they can work out what the hell they are doing? Geelong when they work out Dangerfield is not Ablett and cannot do it all? Or a smokey like Gold Coast who may very well be 5-0 3 weeks from now even....

 

[HowYouDoin]

Brisbane Lions.

 

[Lithium]

Swans
Dogs
Hawks
Eagles

If dogs can keep up what they're doing there a real shot, will be hard though, this week will give a good indercation of where they are at.
Think there's a fair chance of another Hawks v Swans gf.

 

[Gavin Excell]

West coast are weak - wouldnt draw too many conclusions re hawks.

Think hawks will go 1-2 next week.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Swans
Dogs
Hawks
Eagles

Swans agree look good not really tested yet

 

[Punts]

Hawks 4 in a row
Crows next best imo

 

[Chism]

Cats the only team that can upset the Hawks and spoil their 4 peat.

No other team bar Geelong is beating the Hawks at the G when it matters in finals /thread.

Eagles can win 100 straight games in WA but they are doing nothing at the MCG where the most important game of the season is played.

 

[Gavin Excell]

People drawing way too many conclusions on hawthorn after they have defeated flimsy west coast.

 

[Punts]

Hawks 4 in a row
Crows next best imo

 

[Sylvia Saint]

If finals were played at Etihad I'd be putting all my savings on the Dogs. I get the feeling having a fortress that isn't the MCG can be misleading when September rolls around though.
