Geelong V Doggies week 2
Richmond V Doggies week 3
and West Coast v Doggies GF
That way we don't need to travel and we can all get to the G each week and cheer them on.
That would be amazing.
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

I would be ecstatic to beat them any week after round 23.

Adelaide moved back into the 8 after being thrashed by 10 goals.
Don't think I've ever seen that before

Only on alphabetical order though given they are tied with Port on points and %. I know Ive never seen that before.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Strap yourself in. These boys will to all the way. No side will be more damaging in September than us. I don’t know what’s changed but after the mid year break it’s been a different playing group.

We're 7-and-3 after the bye.
I got very uppity about that until I noticed Brisbane are undefeated in the same span.

We changed our defensive setup and stopped the leaking of goals. We should have done better against Saints, and Lions in the first quarters, but adjusted.

I’m happy but not sure that’s correct. Our tackling has gone up, efficiently with the ball has improved and goal kicking . I’m not sure if it a coincidence but we are all not questioning the selections like we were the first half of the season

In the first 11 rounds we kicked 888 points, but conceded 1001. Since then we have kicked 801 points (10 games), but conceded only 657 points. This is really telling on how our defense all over the ground (including tackling) has improved

That's a massive turnaround. We let St Kilda get away from us a bit and the Lions as well, but for the most part it's been really good post the bye.

They've played five of those games at a genuine home ground and won all of them. We've played seven of the ten at a ground shared by pretty much everyone which is technically our home ground, importantly winning two of the three away games at genuine opposition home grounds.
Full credit to them, they've won on the road against St Kilda, GWS, Port, Hawthorn and Carlton which is a great effort. Plus they almost beat Fremantle in Perth.
I don't know why but they seem like they're able to be beaten, especially due to their huge reliance on Charlie Cameron.
