So have we beaten anyone yet?

Post: # 740249Post 3rd generation saint »

I wonder if Essendon will count for a good team for all those knockers who say we haven't beaten anyone.

IMHO Geelong will only meet it's second decent team for the year next week in the Bulldogs.

4 of our wins are against teams currently residing in the 8 including the number 3 and 4 sides, whom we accounted for easily.

We play another team in the 8 next week in Brisbane, which our nar best will beat. Our very best will shatter them.


Except for the sanity nothing much has been lost.

We have beaten everyone we can, we will obviously get more kudos if we can beat the likes of Hawthorn and to a lesser extent Carlton whom the media seem to have wraps on.

Interestingly enough we may have beaten a little more than we realise today, a very good side Essendon are becoming IMO. Possible top 4 side when you consider they have already played 5 of the sides currently in the 8, I rate them over the Dogs currently and with Fletcher Hurley Mcveigh and Welsh still to come back they could be the bolt from the blue IMO.


Maybe this year?

Apart from R1 (when there were no ladder positions) and R4 (when we clobbered the then bottom team freo) every team we have met (and beaten) has been in the 8.

I don't know if we've been "anyone", but we've certainly beaten "everyone" we've played! :wink:

One would hope so considering we are 8 rounds in, and havnt played Melbourne, Richmond or NorthMelbourne... Thats almost all the teams!

Saying we havnt beaten anyone is basically saying the AFL is on the decline.
