The next 3 weeks.
The next 3 weeks will determine if we make it or not this year. Richmond, Essendon and Sydney. We need to win at least 2 of these to be a chance.
Think of me long enough to make a memory.

Re: The next 3 weeks.
Sydney seem to have the wood on us and it's on their dung hill next time. We can beat Richmond & Essendon if we "come to play".
As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”
St Kilda - At least we have a Crest!

Re: The next 3 weeks.
Essendon match is coming after consecutive six day breaks which will make it harder.
We will still be missing Webster who is very important for run and accurate disposal from the back line.
We need to study how Brisbane played them.

Re: The next 3 weeks.
Out of those 3 matches it is the Essendon one that I am most worried about
This season they have gone W W L L W L L W W L L W L L .... see where I am going here
They should have beaten Sydney 2 weeks back and nearly beat us last year with a reserves side
Think we match up ok against Tigers and Sydney are 3 & 4 this year at the SCG and are beatable there if we bring our A-grade pressure game

Re: The next 3 weeks.
Regardless of our "pressure game"
If the ball gets into the F50 40-50 times
but they only score 13.20
that's no way to win a game.
Like casting a fishing line into the river with no bait or lure attached.
All the effort in the world is wasted if you don't do the things that matter to get the rewards.

Don't think we need Lever but it certainly feels that way to meSMS wrote:No chance in any game. Face it we are below average.
Need kelly lever and whitfield rocky plus freeman to come on for us to have any chance in 2018+

Frawley says Freeman would be maybe in the ones if we weren't in the 8

We aren't good enough to seriously trouble top sides - so how do we get that good?
Draft well, trade well and remove cloggers (we've recruited some)

Re: The next 3 weeks.
Yes make or break in the next 3 weeks.
BUT the BIGGER make or break period will be this years FA, trade and draft period. This will either finish off the rebuild, or will be a stumble where we never achieve the overall quality that is required.

Re: The next 3 weeks.
Swans seem to have our number.
They play our game more skilfully and are bigger and stronger.
It's like being beaten up by your older brother
Would love to beat them, but would the our very best effort.

Re: The next 3 weeks.
Yeah, lets finish down the bottom again.
While we're at it let's get rid of players who won't be part of our next premiership; all 45 of them.
Brilliant idea.
