Re: After game wrap - All St.Kilda

There's so many great seasons because there's so many crap seasons.

WCE
Freo
Melb
Richmond
Essendon

all have only 2 wins (Richmond with a draw obviously)

Richmond have three wins, but the point is the split in the league. I can't remember there being a 5 team battle for the wooden spoon, or a team on 9 1/2 wins after 11 rounds not having a top 4 spot sewn up.

Adelaide are in for a tough month - Hawks at home, Brisvegas away (after they lose to us) Geelong at home, Collingwood away and the Showdown. Some cracking matchups, no way they'll win all 5.

Sydney on the other hand have things much easier, St Kilda & Melbourne next 2 weeks, Collingwood in west Sydney and Hawthorn in Melbourne - those two games are massive. Our win in Sydney earlier on may prove very important come season end.

They could lose all 5.

I wouldn't be surprised.

Adelaide have been lucky to still be winning in the last three or so games, managed to string together a quarter or two of football, but they've looked pretty edgey at times and are lucky they've only played Essendon & Richmond in the past two weeks.

I'm not sold on Collingwood either; they haven't beaten any quality sides aside from a one off horrible Geelong. They caught them at the right time, and whilst they played well, there's no way Geelong would lose to them again. They somehow lost to Brisbane & were spanked by Hawthorn. Melbourne pushed them all the way today too. Against sides with a good midfield & forward setup, Collingwood will struggle. They rely heavily on Thomas/Pendlebury/Didak.

IMHO it's a four horse race - Hawks, Cats, Dogs & Swans. When Hall returns to Sydney, it's going to give them a big boost.

While I think we'll win on Saturday, I'm prepared to add Brisbane to this list. Agree on all other points.

And take the Hawks out. I honestly maintain that they will not be a threat come September. Not this September in any case. Brisbane and Sydney will be far more dangerous than Hawthorn.
