5 In A Row?

Post: # 1678858Post Johnny Member »

Gold Coast at home?

Freo over there?

Richmond at home?

Essendon at home?

Gee, your a funny guy! One minute we're not good enough and the next minute we can win 5 in a row, including 3 teams above or equal with us on the table.

Consistency is a virtue: try to remember that!

Anyway, on our day I reckon we can beat all 4: the hardest probably being Richmond, who play the style of football we tend to struggle the most to combat.

You either dont read my posts, or you're incapable of lateral thought. Possibly both.

Winning the next 4 games wouldn't alter any one of my opinions on where we're at.

I imagine any movie more complex than Toy Story or Cars, would be far beyond your limited intelligence.

I think the coaches might address the poor game against the Krays, where we let them kick 5 of the last 6 goals
and let slip a nice 7 goal lead.
Not good enough.
The squad would need to smash the GC for the whole game and not let up.
Non-negotiable.

The Freo game is a must win to prove we can win on the road (forget Tassy, Hawks drink their own bathwater and think they are still good)

So...GC + Dockers are both must win

Tigers - our club has historically been a club that can run other teams into form; e.g. Swans game- we just let #4 run riot
Bombers- they move the ball almost like Hawks of 3 years ago, precision+speed, they will be very hard to stop. Very hard.

2 of 4 is my tip. 3 of 4 would be brilliant

We're as likely to win each as we are to lose each.

We should win the next 4 really.

If we play to our ability.

But that still doesn't mean we're good enough to worry the genuine teams. Regardless of if we beat Gold Coast, Freo, Richmond and Essendon - we still don't have the top end talent to compete at the business end of the season against the genuine contenders.


Isn't that pretty straight forward?

All winnable.
3/4 will do me. Takes us to 9-7.
A nice place to sit before the run home.

5 in a row assumes a precedent which was friday nights win. As there are only 4 options.

Why stop at 5? 14 gives us the flag.

I think the umpires waking up to their illegal tactics this season has hurt them.

They wouldn't have made it past week 2 of the finals last year without the help of the umpires.

Because I don't think we can beat Sydney at the SCG.

Is there an acceptance that this year is extraordinarily tight?

There is no such thing as an easy 4 points this year. Quite a feat to win 5 in a row this year.

seriously, I was actually supporting you in your comments about meher baba.
How could you misunderstand me?
I wasn't insulting you, just making a comment that I thought you were female
+ congratulating you on the racing joke.
My tadpole comment was directed at MB as well.

Are you and Johnny Member the same poster? I've been wondering: you both like to engage in rambling Henny Penny rants. And you often jump in to counter-attack people who criticise JM.

I don't think we will win one of those.
