2017 Season - Will we make the top 4?

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

Such a tight season. We are still in this if we can get our stuff in order.

It is a tight and funny season Easty.
Confidence as we always hear such an elusive, fickle and quickly changeable beast.
Now is where Bevo and Co need to earn their money all over again and make these guys believe that they can climb Everest again.
Last year it was using the allegories of childrens books, maybe this year we need him to tap into something harder, like Dostoevsky or Machiavelli to focus them.

Perhaps after reaching the summit, it could be "Great Expectations"?

It was against Sydney so I'll go with Tale of two Cities.

It was the best of times. It was the worst of times.....

Let's climb Everest again. We can start by channeling Chairman Mao: "Every great journey begins with a single step and the first os to step on a Kangaroo's head." Go Dogs!

Not sure better words relating to this and last season could ever be written.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way – in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.

I think we can still defend our cup. Look back at the Freo game last year leading into the finals. Write us off at your peril.

Looks a bit interesting that DryRot was labelled hysterical last week. Today's game has proven he was spot on. No joy in being proven right but just goes to show the hysterical calls were harsh. We're a bottom 4 side this year.

1 week means predictions for next 12 weeks are correct? I realise this was written just after the game and full of emotion but this is another hysterical comment.

Literally every team has gone through a bad patch this season.

I'm not going to get into this again. But it's been quite a bit more than 1 week.

That's the thing fortunately for us while our season hasn't been the greatest so far the teams around us haven't been that good either and no one really has got a run going so I believe we are still right in it if we can get it together.

Yep its been 2 and 1 week since the original comment.

We weren't bad against Geelong, we weren't bad against WCE, we weren't bad against the Saints.

In fact if we play like we did against those 3 teams we will win at least 6 more games this season.

The displays in the Sydney and Melbourne games are not the norm for this team. 2 games does not make a norm.
