Let's not forget Richmond beat Sydney by 5 points so we go into that game with the line at -96 points.Beating up on genuinely bad teams is at least a positive, so let’s have a good week. Plus we’re getting GWS at a great time as well.
But we’re 50/50 or substantially worse in the next five games. Even going 2-3 (which I think would be decent) leaves us at 6-8 going into the bye, after which I struggle to see more than a few wins unless the standard of performance is better and more consistent.
But if the team have found something, then it’s not quite the murderer’s row of a fixture we once thought (Sydney aside). Interesting month or two ahead.
