I've been saying we've been Bradbury'ing since the bye

for those that don't get the reference (and those that do but still want to see the greatest gold medal ever):

Beat Brisbane this week and the lid will be off.

Realistically it's a 5 goal loss.

GWS can't qualify if the Dogs beat Geelong
GWS are a game ahead of the Dogs.

How so?
GWS are in the eight now a game clear.
They need to beat Carlton to cement the spot, but it's theirs to lose now.

In my mind I had Dogs in the 8 and GWS outside

Sorry. My mistake

I can definitely see us winning the first final. Maybe sneaking to a prelim

Don’t think we can make the big dance as yet

Interestingly the bottom 4 of the 8 all have form. Pies, power in particular), melb and Bris all lacking form and momentum

Very open series

Ask me after Saturday.

It would likely involve a lot of travel... but it's 'only' 4 wins.

And it's a pretty open year. They're all beatable.

Doing a barnstorming Bradbury and claiming it in a year nobody expected us to, would be peak St Kilda.

Here's my conspiracy theory / 4D chess moment of the week.

We knew in round 6 we had a winner of a gameplan.
We had significant media attention and other clubs were trying to dissect our game.
We changed it up to throw them off the scent, sold it as "trying new things" lost a few winnable games which allowed us to fly under the radar.

Now we are gearing up to fully commit to the rounds 1-6 gameplan again and if we can switch it on at the right time for the finals we can win everything.

It's too early in the morning for this level of hardcore fan fiction.

the club could / should get Bradbury to pep talk the boys
during bye week

our foolproof plan could be every other team falling over on the day ... we just have to help em fall over

slippery log ... awww , poor buggers fell off



easy

then Ross can retire 'n Banger take over for the threepeat

I actually wonder how much it's got to do with conditioning. Heavy loads through the middle of the year to prepare us for the end of the year. We look to have some much more run these last few rounds, like we did it at the start of year.

Fairy tail stuff but who knows ... it is year 150 😁

Crows 1997 😡
Crows 1998
Dogs 2016
Even Lions 1916 ! ... finished last (4th) & won the flag

Who thought the Dogs would win the flag going into the finals in 2016?
Anything is possible. Just need some luck to go our way and things to fall into place for the next six weeks.
