I know...he keeps reminding me.
All I want to see is an acknowledgment that just MAYBE we need to try something a little bit different in order to change our fortunes.
What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

All I care about right now is seeing us:
- Make an effort to shut down Cripps
- Beat Carlton
You have us with one win and a draw out of our last 10...and the win is listed against Freo who just beat Collingwood in Melbourne before their bye...so let's say that's a loss as well just for the hell of it.
Feel the excitement!
I could be all positive and say we'll win every game and pinch the flag, but hey its not happening.
Which games do you think we'll win?
Essendon and Saints were toss of the coin for me, but they are playing 'at home' too and are better teams.
The curse is dead.

I get the conservative view but we can easily beat Carlton and I wouldn't write off a win against the Pies and I'm being serious.
I really like our chances against Melbourne, StKilda, Brisbane and Essendon
It all starts this week especially if we learn from the mistakes we made against them last time

I'm a "let's take it one week at a time" kinda person...'cos each game has an impact on the ones that follow.
I'll start by saying we can and should beat the blues!

I guess its a prediction thread so the one week at a time goes out the window.
I agree we should and will beat the Blues.

I've been swinging pretty heavily between faith in the message & rationale Grant gave at the last Inside The Kennel I attended, and outright ready to sack the coach. I'm settling somewhere in the middle, but am worried that's the worst outcome. I just see a massive deviation away from the early messaging Bevo gave us, some worrying trends in man management and a playing group prone to looking very lack lustre and disorganised despite the talent being there.
I actually think Bevo can get the job done, he has the skills. Just worried that he, and too many others aren't giving us their best and perhaps are being too gentle on themselves. Our best footy is far too good to only be seen in such small doses. Form line suggests we won't see enough of it to really get much out of this year.
Not njoying being this pessimistic, but that's my gut reading.

Re: Our 2nd half of Season 2019 - what will happen?
I'm keen to win as many as possible but the last 4 games of last year has no doubt covered up the cracks. Even if we win more than we lose on the way home the Club must make significant changes , the last three years have been unacceptable. Bevo is the man to take us forward but he has to put his hand up, look to/ accept changes are required in the coaching box (more than just list changes) and the club should look to change things also structurally in the footy department.
Massive game this week, gonna be a very interesting indeed.

:-) . Which is why I didn't make a prediction!
Depending on what happens in the next few we will either be trying to win or trying to do 'other stuff' in the last 6-8 games...

7 games at Marvel and a game at Ballarat should be a bonus for us

Agree except for the Brisbane game at the Gabba.

We match-up well with them and I fully suspect they will slow down over the next few weeks. We are a chance if we can get some momentum before we play them.

I genuinely like our chances. If we get a couple of midfield match-ups on our terms and curb Stephenson and DeGooey we could be right in this.

Oh lordy. Can one of you talk me through this please?
Or at least give me the number of your drug dealer?
