Just curious, did you account for us not having the majority of our midfield week in, week out in that fast start?I still think 5th - 8th. I expected us to start well. I think we will fade late.
My reasoning was I knew we had a great preseason and the club were obviously very disappointed with last year.Just curious, did you account for us not having the majority of our midfield week in, week out in that fast start?
I'd honestly be more worried about fading if Danger & Guthrie where playing, and we were dominating sides.
Right now we're banking the wins while playing in bursts without our two best midfielders. I think it's highly unlikely that this is the best we'll look for the year.
Other sides are already stumbling though. Maybe 15 wins is enough for 4th. Can we go 11-8 from now? I think we can.I still think 5th - 8th. I expected us to start well. I think we will fade late.
That is very nice to see but i think it will be more relevant after round 10-12
Yes, I believe it should be stated: 'the last 18 Premiers have been in the green zone at the end of the year'. Still, good to start well.That is very nice to see but i think it will be more relevant after round 10-12
It is still to early as of right now especially as some teams still have played extra games
North just nudge us in there?
2-3 would be disappointing. We should be winning all of our home games if healthy, and beating Blues with their injuries. If there's a slip up between those games, surely we take out one of the Melbourne and Brisbane games.The real test starts now.
If we can get Danger and Guthrie back and be 3-2 over the next 5 (or better) then it's game on for the cats.
I wouldn't underestimate the psychological effect, especially on our veterans, of having a 5-0 start and a chance to put one foot in the top 4 door over the next 6 weeks. Some will be coming back into a side with exciting things on the horizon rather than expected to rescue a collapse. We are already managing players. They know they had a big pre-season. There's still a chip on the shoulder about being written off as opposed to universally praised after 2022.At the start of the year i said we'd lose 2 games for the year. Adelaide away, and Brisbane away. Maybe it should have gone in the outrageous claims thread. But this week will be telling.
Yeh. Instead of 50% wrong, you could end up being 100% wrong.At the start of the year i said we'd lose 2 games for the year. Adelaide away, and Brisbane away. Maybe it should have gone in the outrageous claims thread. But this week will be telling.
Well in the spirit of the other thread, I'm doubling down until proven wrong. I'll settle for 50% wrong though if I must, but that doesn't really count as outrageous.Yeh. Instead of 50% wrong, you could end up being 100% wrong.
G'day Cats fans, I'm a bit of a stat head and thought I'd share the following with you;
In season '24, the Cats have the highest differential for intercept possessions per game ever recorded with +9.8.
When Geelong won the flag in 2022 they had a differential of +6.9 per game.
Best of luck for the rest of the season...cheers.
Stick at the "2 losses for the season" claim and hope we're not sitting on 1 loss heading into the GF like 2008.Well in the spirit of the other thread, I'm doubling down until proven wrong. I'll settle for 50% wrong though if I must, but that doesn't really count as outrageous.

Better not. Think all apart of the club would have learnt not to prepare celebrations before the big game.Eeep. Yes, that can't happen again....
can it?
"2022 was for the fans, 2024 is for the players"Better not. Think all apart of the club would have learnt not to prepare celebrations before the big game.
As bad as it is to watch Freo(Ross Ball 2.0) If they didn't get screwed vs Carlton and got a little more luck VS Port they would be 5-0 like us.So put a line through St Kilda. Dogs still in the race for 8th. Fremantle are in that zone too.
GWS
Sydney
Melbourne
Geelong
Carlton
Port
Brisbane
My "maybe" contenders list (not necessarily in order) for 2024. Suns will be added with notable away wins.
True, I just worry about their scoring power come finals but think they will qualify.As bad as it is to watch Freo(Ross Ball 2.0) If they didn't get screwed vs Carlton and got a little more luck VS Port they would be 5-0 like us.
I personally don't think they have enough scoring power to win the whole thing but they deserve to be put in the contender group as of right now.
