Beating Adelaide would be a huge start and good confidence - also great for Hudson & Welsh.
We've never had a particularly good matchup for Riewoldt. Harris has always been needed for Gehrig. Hargrave has been the next best option as he could run with him, but was never big enough to be able to compete in the air.
Although he is still raw I believe this is where Williams being fit will really help us. He is both athletic enough and big enough to go with Riewoldt. There's still a large gap between them but we finally have someone who can go with athletic CHF types like Riewoldt and will only improve with more experience. We also have some backup in Doogs and Wight although I don't think either of them are week in, week out CHB's like Williams has the potential to be. I also think the extra muscle this year will see us better able to compete with traditionally strong bodied teams like St.Kilda, WCE and Adelaide who we've often struggled against in the past.
As for winning the first 6 well that'd be fantastic and yes they are all tough but winnable games, but I'd settle for 4-2.
