Re: How Many More Wins Left In The H&A?
Yeah North are considerably more cohesive than when we played them earlier in the year. We aren’t going to lose but I doubt that they pack it in again.

Re: How Many More Wins Left In The H&A?
No game will be easy if we don’t have the right mindset. We’ve got through the toughest period. We don’t want to drop one we start mega favourites in.
I will never see #16 the same!!

Should be at least 17 wins. With percentage is top 2 if not top. That’s dropping up to two and being minor premier.

Plenty of water to go under the bridge - some tricky games in that lot.

Re: How Many More Wins Left In The H&A?
I'm most worried about the EFC game. Reckon they're flukey enough to worry us particularly if we're not on song.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

I reckon we absolutely belt Essendon. It’s really hard to not get sucked in by the state-controlled media hype that’s always behind them but they honestly ain’t shit.

They were every chance to beat Geelong according to the SCM. Only very, very wrong.

Re: How Many More Wins Left In The H&A?
Yeah, we've given them what for these past couple of years and as I said they're a bit flukey and it's at Marvel. It's not media bias that makes me believe what I believe, it's just looking at them as a team we've belted the past couple of years and them possibly getting up for the challenge to get one back.
It's also scheduled after a massive game that I think we win.

I think when they have no finals to play for and everyone has played to get their contract and got it, winning only costs Dodoro Draft spots, injured players are put on ice, there will be no signs of life. We need to turn up to play, but I don’t fear it.

Re: How Many More Wins Left In The H&A?
We’re getting essendon at the right time. I understand the concern though as they have looked good at times this year no doubt. But round 21 is a great time to get them. Tired, finals gone and more to gain by losing.

Might have another of those interstate games in Vic - potential to play the suns away game at our home ground….
Can’t bank on it and shouldn’t matter anyway if we’re genuine contenders - just excited I may get to go to more footy after the demons - eagles 5 week stint….

Re: How Many More Wins Left In The H&A?
In terms of banana peel type matches, the next two weeks are particularly slippery.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Re: How Many More Wins Left In The H&A?
Swans are the real deal. I’m pretty concerned after what they’ve shown since the bye.
