No one will be more delighted if we emulate 2001 Lions than me.Brisbane went 17 in a row to win the premiership in 2001.

Agreed. Not like we are doing a Richmond of 2014.Considering we're already in the top 8 i dont subscribe to the run into the ground theory. We're no longer walking the tightrope. Would have been a different story if we needed to win every game until finals to just make the 8. But weve got ourselves jn a position where even a loss wont derail us. Winning preferable of course.
Our destiny is in our hands
Still a tightrope. We're just ahead of a lot more teams now. One trip and we'll fall back to equal 8th and the chasing pack.Not a tightrope anymore. All in our own hands.
I never won those
How do we have a 5 percent chance to finish 2nd? what kind of things would need to happen there?
That's like I don't understand all the posts saying "I think Sydney will run out of steam in finals", "if they make it it would of taken too much of a toll" etc etc. Sydney are playing the same amount of games as everybody else. Why would a long stretch of wins make them run out of gas?
I have also enjoyed reading "our speed will trouble them" week in week out.
"The invincibles" -love itI think it is more the emotional toll of having to play essentially 16 weeks of elimination finals to get there.
If or when it goes, it's likely to go like a broken elastic band with no possibility of a return to its form.
On the flip side if they get through the next 5 weeks in form going 4 and 1, the belief within the group will be that they are invincible and no one is going to stop them.
This should read something like "I think we will .... etc" as you can't possibly know this for a fact.We will drop at least one game... maybe 2

YES!!! This exactly!!!I don't believe we have to lose one any more than I believe in any biblical rubbish. We make our own destiny. We play the chance hand that life deals us.
Put them to the sword. end the dynasty. The empire is dead. A new empire rises...Undefeated to next season.
It's what I want.
It's what the club deserves.
It's the kind of fairy tale the AFL needs.
I have belief our best is the best and it is possible. It continues with us putting a formal end to Hawthorns season on Friday night.
We dropped so many to start the season that statistically we've done our fair share (yes I know that probabilities of future events are not predicated on the outcome of past events but on balance it should appease the footy gods). If we can continue our current run of form we can do it, and there's no reason to think we can't or won't. We have pretty much all senior players available for selection which gives us enough depth to rest players and cover any injuries. Experience has shown that depth is key at the pointy end of the season. We are the agressors, we are the hunters now. Our game plan works, belief is huge, and, despite our youth, we've got the most finals experienced team in the comp, even more so given we've been playing finals-like football for months now. Barring some unforseen (and completely shit) run of bad luck (or umpiring) we have every reason to finish 2017 unbeaten.Well obviously mate...I reckon most people would work out that a post on Bigfooty referencing the future is a statement of opinion, not of fact.
FWIW, i still reckon we will drop a couple
