Off course we are, but with Stevens missing I can feel a defeat on the cards.

Of course we can. Stevens is a massive hole, but the boys proved last week they have the heart and the guts to match it with the best. Although you would think we would go down, we will go down with a fight at the very least.
Can we give them a good run for their money?
we did it last year and i am sure we can do it again...
peoples thoughts?

Of course we are a chance. That is what our upcoming roller coaster ride is going to be all about. We are going to win games we shouldn't win & we are going to lose games that we shouldn't lose. We are also going to win games that we should win & lose games that we should lose. Unpredictability is going to be the order of the year, this year. No team is beyond our reach when the boys are totally switched on, but it is going to be a lottery most weeks.

Geelong 2 weeks ago suggests we are stiil capable of being blown out of the water.

Geelong would have blown a lot of sides out of the water. But for what its worth, I think that game was a massive wake up call to the boys. I doubt we will see beltings like that again this year somehow, even with Stevens missing- there just seems to be a different attitude now.
Hopefully they like winning too much.

....and Essendon last week shows we can beat good sides that are playing well.
we are a chance, but should lose by less than 4 goals IMO.
We're a chance, don't know what to expect. Haven't got the foreboding feeling that I had against the Cats and I'm not expecting us to get thumped, though we'll probably go down by a couple goals.

Nope. At best yes. In our weakened state, no.

yes, we are a chance of winning every game this year, just need our boys to believe and work hard.
We're always a chance. We just have to put effort into four quarters ... although I don't think we'll win, making it hard for them and having a close loss will almost be as good as a win.
If the players know that they can match it with the best for the majority, it will grow on them as a group. If Collingwood can match them, why can't we? I feel our upside is better than theirs.
But they will have to be switched on al lgame. Otherwise i could be a blowout, and I hope that's not the case. With or without Stevens.

Of course we're an (outside) chance. We now have the talent and determination to beat any team on our day.

The Eagles could also be a bit flat after the Derby last week. Looking forward to the game this arvo, and hopefully we can make a good fist of things.

Of course we are a chance-just a very very small one.

I'll admit, I tipped the Eagles as a realistic pick ( I am sitting one off the pace so sanity prevailed ) HOWEVER I am willing to concede the tip for the blue baggers to get over the line! Now I just need to find a bloody pub which is broadcasting it!

You guys have every chance of beating the Eagles, you just can't start like you did against Essendon otherwise you will get flogged.
Don't worry if you lose this game you will win next week against us!
your name is loyallion, yet you don't seem very loyal by coming onto an opposition board and bagging out your club. Where is the faith and the passion?

I'm not bagging my club I'm speaking the truth you guys have more run and speed which Brisbane doesnt have honestly I can't see us getting over the line with your lot after last nights effort.
I tell ya, I am looking forward to sitting down and watching this game tonight. I think you're a chance.
Plz knock those ***** off.
Plz knock those ***** off.
Watching the first half last week against us, i thought "This is the same of Carlton of the last few years"
But seeing what you did to us, i'm giving you guys a good chance to knock the Eagles off their perch.
The Eagles arn't playing great football (even though they are undefeated) and i hope you guys get over the line.

I love the Blues more than anyone, but I think we will be bitch slapped today.
Only asking for a good contest, injury free, and that our boys stand up and play well.
Anythign more than that, and i'll take it
I reckon your boys will go down by 5-6 goals...having said that though I think it's more likely that the margin will be less then that than more, the Blues play with alot of spirit and won't be intimidated 
Eventually though there's no substitute for class...however this game in 3 years' time will be mighty interesting

Yep. I am up for it.
