    Re: Our 2nd half of Season 2019 - what will happen?

    This week is a huge test. In recent times we've lost the games we were expected to win.

    Feel exactly the same - and I remind myself we are still pretty young so inconsistency is an issue.

    The last game we were expected to win was against Carlton and we did (just). Hopefully that was the turning point.

    I'm in a buoyant frame of mind with this weeks challenge. I'm not concerned that we have fallen short earlier in the season against some of the lower teams (past history) and think we now have a better balanced side being selected and Bevo is pulling the right levers

    Bring it on

    I agree with the 12 wins scenario. It's possible this year that 7th and 13th could be separated by percentage.

    Agree, goals will still make or break us but the things that most concerned me have slowly been turning since the Freo game. It worries me a little that in a fair chunk of our wins the opposition has gone down a man or more on the bench. Still think the way we play leaves us open to getting rolled by anyone, the margins for error are so slim.

    The talent in the 22 can carry us a bit further into the season & the coach seems to have stitched together a narrative that is driving things along. Buckley's comments a few weeks ago stung him into action. I'm confident they're all pulling in the same direction, perhaps for the first time since R2 last year.

    Will be a real test this week. I can see Lever as the second in - we know Gawn is playing. They match up on us really well in general - even the years we’ve been much higher in the ladder than them and they’d be red hot with confidence based on our last few meetings.

    Real danger game. I’d love to blitz them - a steady 4 quarter win with dogs by 40 points. I’m expecting a dog fight and the last quarter to be where the game is “won”

    We’d likely need to win 3 consecutive interstate trips to make the GF.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    Just want our young list to get some finals exposure. A first up win against the Cats would cap off my year.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    A win over Geelong in week 3 of the finals would make my year. Can you imagine the saltiness?
