    To The Bye - 3 Big Weeks

    West Coast at Etihad
    Port Adelaide at Port Adeliade
    Geelong at Etihad

    Going to be a very big 3 weeks.

    Our injured blokes: JJ won't be back until after the break. Tom Boyd needs at least one week at VFL, so says Bevo. Hrovat will need some continuity at VFL too I assume. We rushed Stevens back too early and missed him today. Hopefully we don't repeat it.

    Are there any players that need some management before the bye? McLean for me looks like he could do with a rest and get him cherry ripe for a big last 1/2 of the season. Matty Boyd had a rest last week and the other old man is Morris, but three teams with multiple KPFs means we can't rest him before the bye.

    Are there others we need to see in? To me Honeychurch is one I'd like to see, especially this week. I don't see a natural match up for Minson in any of these games. How much more does Webb need to do?

    What's par? 3 big wins?

      Big chance to win all 3 but everything needs to fall into place for that to happen.

          Maybe we could swap Mitch for HC, Mitch has been good and has played his guts out. Maybe the week before the bye to give him a freshen up for the second half. It's a hard call on our main stayers but I wonder if some of them are hurting.

                  We hit the break 10 and 4, and we're well placed .
                  The last 9,we'd be favourites in 6 of them .
                  It's so even though

                                  2 wins out of the next 3 I could handle.

                                  We are likely to win at least 5 of the last 7 games of the season (GCS, St.K, Cats, Nth, Pies, Bombers, Freo)
                                  At 9-4, we then play Richmond and Sydney. So, maybe 10-5 and a realistic chance at 15 or more wins.

                                      It's a funny one.

                                      2/3= a bit disappointed
                                      3/3= I am rapt

                                                  I could absolutely handle 9/4
                                                  It would mean we beat the Cats which is a big result or go over there and beat Port, a difficult task at any time.
                                                  But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

                                                      I understand Port are a one-way traffic team. We have the game to kill them.

                                                          Yeah it's my thinking too. Would really annoy me to lose to their 'style'.

                                                          Cats and Eagles are quality sides but Etihad factor means we gotta beat them if we are up there.
