Think we'll be 5-2
Beat Crows. Lose Giants.
Would be bloddy stoked with that.
The Crows is a certain 4 points.

We like playing GWS so very winnable.

Take it to the bank, we will be 6-1 at the end of round 7.

Certain 4 points. :shock:
I hope you're right, but I'm not sure we've entered that galaxy yet where anything is certain. We've played some great footy this year. Some gutsy, defensive footy and on the weekend added a little bit of flair.

A pass mark for me is just to keep having a crack and being competitive. That might sound dull, but after the last season and a half, I just want the boys to keep cracking in. For now I'm happy with that. If that delivers more wins, well I'm even happier. If Bruce doesn't play this week I think we're on the back foot tbh - but right now I give us a chance in every game we play

5:2 is the new pass mark.

2 of the next 4 and we'll sit 6:3 - I'll take that.

:roll:
We've regressed to our 2018 form for the last 2 weeks.
Seb Ross is not a good choice as captain because he doesn't inspire. He gets possessions but does nothing with them. I wonder if Jackie boy pulling out again has thrown the group for a curve.


As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”

More courage to make a prediction (even a foolish one) than to act as Captain Hindsight.

Just as long as it's a positive prediction or you aren't a true supporter

Lol.

Yeah, It was a brilliant prediction.

I predicted he’d be wrong so it wasn't in hindsight was it, Teddy.

The real fool is the one who doesn't question anything and believes anything the club tells them.

Wins and losses aren’t as important as how we’re playing.

We are not playing well.

Agreed - how could it not? They really have had a lot to deal with since the first JLT (is that what it was called?)

hard to keep team balance when you lose so many good players and have a coach who struggles to adjust.....we are in for a few more beltings I'm afraid. Pass mark is irrelevant atm.

Drats. I got my prediction wrong. I bet your prediction of losing was so much harder to get right.

Now personally if you had have told me we would have 3 wins in first 7 i would have taken it.

With Melb(A), Adel(H) and GWS(A) the next 3 games:

4-3 pass
5-2 excellent
6-1 amazing

as i said at start of season i would have taken 3-4

thoughts
Got the pass mark.
Disappointing thing to me is the way we have played the last 2 games. system has broken down. Not so much that we have lost but how is the concern - very 2018 like style of play. Please find a plan B that is understandable to the players

We're still in the eight.
Beat the reigning premier on our home turf next weekend and it's game on!

We do have some very, very important players out though. if we win next week the players' self belief will grow.
