    I give us 3-4 more wins and a bunch of who the hell knows.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    Nothing stopping us winning 11 games from here.......except ourselves. Cannot afford to be the slightest bit off.

    Hear hear Eastdog. Winning a lot of games in a row including those we are expected to win has not been a strength of ours.

    A Classic footy cliche Easty - but a very true one.

    Also I really like your new profile pic of the Whitten Oval Grandstand
    More of an In Bruges guy?

    Thanks azabob. Thought I’d change it up and decided on that one of the great EJ Whitten stand. Have sat up there a number of times when I been to the ground.

    Pretty sh*tty draw for the next 3 weeks.

    Richmond, Port at Adelaide Oval, Brisbane at Gabba.

    Hope the players aren't viewing it like that! Play anyone, anywhere

    While they are quick turnarounds we get an extra days preparation over our opponents in every one of those games.

    It is going to be testing on everyone, but we should be approaching them all as games to win.

    I think getting Richmond now is a win. Still missing quite a few.

    Would be great to switch the Adelaide and Port Adelaide games around so we got Adelaide at home rather than Port.

    Re: The run home

    It’s a tough 3 week stretch, essentially playing the top 3 sides in consecutive weeks. But it’ll show us what we’re made of and where we realistically sit. I think need all agree we’re a chance in each game but also just as likely to be blown out in each game! You just don’t know what you’re gonna get
