Re: Round 21 - Other Matches

Could the Cats win the flag from outside the top 4?

Yes they can. Whether or not they do is another question but there is more than enough genuine talent in their list still close to the peak of their powers. They just need to maintain their top-end form over the course of 120 minutes instead of 60-90. They have switched off in games too often this season and they can't afford to do so in September. But none of the top 4 will hold any fears for them whatsoever.

Yes. They have star players and a monster of a key forward who is dominating.

Essendon more injuries. Getting a thrashing and will not make the 8 at this rate. I think its first time since the 70s that a club has had
such a winning start then miss out on finals.

Richmond are definetely out of the race now. This week talk on them possibly playing in September fell at the first hurdle. How good is Cotchin propangda was slightly exaggerated because they played us last week.

We made him look super good last week. Collingwood and North Melbourne is going to be a good match. Tipped the Pies but wouldn't surprise if North win.

Cotchin has had a very good season, is touted to captain the tigers next year, absolute gun he will be very soon.

A real shame to see the Bombres belted like that.

It made great viewing while on the couch with a hang over.

Re: Round 21 - Other Matches

Essendon supporters will blame injuries, and I suppose they'll be right in some respects. Though part of getting a club to finals football is physical management of players across an entire year, and it's pretty clear their list has suffered from an over-emphasis in the preseason on putting on size.

Who knows, the work put in to them might make all the difference in two years time. My personal opinion is they went too far, only time will tell though.

Re: Round 21 - Other Matches

Agreed Coutchin will be a star and has had a great year but I don't rate performances against us this year. All week on the media talk was how good is he.

Re: Round 21 - Other Matches

He is not elite yet, media love to talk up Richmond at the start of each season, we all know how it comes tumbling down by round 2.

I think he is very close to it and I don't blame Richmond for talking him up.

Neither do I, he is a born leader and if I were a Richmond supporter, I would be rapt to have him in my side, very Ablett like with his ability to gather the ball below his knees and accelerate. I think this time next year, he could possibly be in the top 10 footballers in the league.

He was very good once again... High quality player.

Collingwood getting frustrated and North doing well.
