Perhaps we’ve got to get better at managing guys then, particularly our key players and giving them games off here and there to avoid this scenario?

Problem is we would just be conceding the game if we rested Neale and Dunkley against the Hawks

I think you're reading too much into it my friend. All teams have weeks where they've got many of their best 22 playing sorer than usual. If anything, it's an argument to rotate players more.

Probably tenth by the end of the round, but still a jump up in three places and ready to go BANG and hopefully jump into the eight proper in the coming weeks.
On an individual level; surely Logan Morris gets the Rising Star gong this week after a very solid body of work.

According to the bookies we're the fourth favourite to win the flag now
Who are the 3 imposters in front of us? Let me guess.. Swans, Blues and Magpies.

im still firmly in the camp of we cant win the flag, but ive been very pleased to see the emergence of lohmann, morris and to a lesser extent reville and sharp. if ashcroft, wilmot and fletcher can keep building alongside them we have a really nice group of youngsters coming through that should put us in good stead for a while yet.
if we can make finals, cause some upsets here and there and see continued development from our young guns id consider it a successful year from this point.

FWIW I just did another ladder predictor, had us losing 1 game v Pies away on the run home, if we were to lose 2 games I still have us finishing 4th ahead of the Dockers on percentage.
Magpies have a very tough run home(Lions/Blues/Swans/Hawks/Bombers among them), would only have to win 2 more games than I predicted for them to finish 4th though.
1- Swans
2- Blues
3- Lions
4- Bombers
5- Dockers
6- Bulldogs
7- Giants
8- Magpies

I had us finishing 3rd behind the swans and the blues as well. I think i afforded 2 losses. Still a long way to go, but we’ve got a superior percentage to both Freo and Essendon, and both of them also had a draw, so it counts.
I'll be elated if we finish Top 4.
But just in the back of my mind is 2001 and there's a rough hope we keep stringing wins together if we actually are the real deal .
I’d love to get Essendon in the finals, even away.
I’ve got a feeling we are doing a 2001 all over again. Except instead of Essendon, it’s Sydney.
I reckon every single club right now is looking at their schedule and putting us down as a loss. We look like we are hitting form at the right time and in such a close comp, our FA is like an extra win.
We have the fourth best defense and attack and this has improved significantly in the last few weeks. Basically, we are in the window with Sydney.

I think if we played this weekend it would be a good game.
Let's see how we're travelling in a month. I think we play them coming off a trip to Perth, which might sort us out a bit.

I think we need to win 2 of the Sydney, Suns, Giants, Collingwood and Essendon games and win the rest to make the 8, 3 to finish 5th, 4-5 to make the top 4
5th almost preferred to 4th to avoid playing Sydney before the GF
