    The Next Month

    We're sitting at 4-1 after playing bottom 8 teams. We now hit a month vs teams that are in form.

    What's your prediction?

    R6 vs GWS (away)
    R7 vs Richmond (Etihad)
    R8 vs West Coast (away)
    R9 vs Geelong (away)

    I think we'll go 2-2 with wins over Richmond & Geelong but I also wouldn't be shocked if we won or lost all 4.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    Re: The Next Month

    It's a challenging month ahead.

    If we turn it up a notch potentially could win all 4

    3 wins out of 4 would be a great result

    Realistically I reckon 2 wins from 4 which will put us on 6-3

    Re: The Next Month

    If we can get to the bye at least 7-3 (2 of the next month and St Kilda), then we give ourselves a platform to go really hard after the bye when we get back best 22 players in Roughy, Morris, Dickson, Crameri, Cloke & Wallis.

    Good luck fitting them all in at the match committee meetings.

    In our best form we can best all of them.

    In the form we are in I reckon we go 2-2, dropping games against GWS and Geelong

    Beating GWS again will be a great scalp along with beating the Swans although they are struggling at the minute.

    Re: The Next Month

    I hate to say it but this week is one we need to win and win well. Not so much by a big margin but to be in control of the game and play it on our terms.
    GWS will most likely make the finals and maybe go deep. We have created some scars against them and I would like to enhance those scars to run a little bit deeper every time we play them.

    Im happy to scrape home by a point after being 7 goals in front at 3/4 time but I see your point.

    I think we will take our intensity up a few notches this week, and beat GWS. The only real worry for me is the trip to the West.

    Yeah you could be right BAD. I have feeling that might happen.

    The biggest worry is Darling shitting himself again if Dunkley is in his general vicinity...

    At the moment it will be tough to break the drought but hopefully by the time we play them we would have picked up more and they are in a slump.

    Hopefully we can get over the top of Richmond and go in 5/4. Either way I'll be driving up to Canberra.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.
