There were quite a few supporters ready to write off the season early doors. Who know who you are!

In fairness I was feeling a little less optimistic after the Hawks loss.Nice self-promotion!

Zorko has arguably filled that position + more. Seems to have got his body right and is popping up everywhere.I just think there’s too much talent on the ACL bench this year …. Perhaps the real loss is Coleman and the rest are covered well.
I left for Europe just after we lost that match and will return just before our round 22 match v the Giants.
My lions-supporting mate has requested that I never come back to Aus
Having to listen to our games abroad has brought back memories of supporting the club as a Vic-based fan without Foxtel in the early 2000s.
Dayne Zorko has "replaced" Kiddy Coleman more than adequately IMO, his kicking out of the back has been at an elite level, could not imagine Kiddy doing much better.I just think there’s too much talent on the ACL bench this year …. Perhaps the real loss is Coleman and the rest are covered well.

If anything the loss of Gardiner/Doedee who at least have an ability to play on taller players could really hurt us if we lose Harris or Joyce now on top of Payne.
Doedee plays taller than his height suggests as well.Doedee even if he can't take the big talls would at least be able to drop off his opponent and support someone like Joyce. Something Lester hasn't been doing this season
Our 2001 Flag side won 16 games on the trot to win it... if this side keeps going a GF win would be the 15th win on the trot.A top 2 finish, 2 home final wins and a grand final win - if we win the 5 remaining games this could happen.
Percentage is absolutely on the table again. Currently our lead over Freo is the equivalent of about 6 goals. Spread over the 10 games (combined) both teams have remaining, it's bugger all.

Whether it determines 3rd/4th or 5th/6th is probably neither here nor there. However if it determines 2nd/3rd or 4th/5th it could have a massive bearing on the outcome of our season.
A premiership could be decided on the back of an ill-timed trip to Perth. So the manner of our performances is going to become just as important as the win or loss column.
Can we show the necessary resilience to battle on in the face of near certain defeat? Can we put the foot to the floor if we're good enough to have an opponent well beaten at 3 quarter time?
The answers to these questions may influence our September fate nearly as much as "can we get the 4 points?" over the next 5 weeks .
They couldn't possibly lose to WCE again?Freo probably have almost as tough a draw as us especially if west Coast comes to play. A lot depends on the games this weekend I think

I think the ACLs themselves we have covered okay.Dayne Zorko has "replaced" Kiddy Coleman more than adequately IMO, his kicking out of the back has been at an elite level, could not imagine Kiddy doing much better.

If we are doing self-promotion, I'll just leave this here (posted after we beat you in round 3).Nice self-promotion!

Might have slightly underestimated you, actually.You will finish the season with 15 or 16 wins. Should be enough for top 4.

And no, I won't tell you where I said my team would finish.
Maybe. But to be fair, I put a number to it and did so very early and quite likely pretty accurately.Good call although I'd argue things looked worse after round 7 than round 3
I really hope Hawthorn don't make finals. I fear them more than half the rest of the top 8
I fear Hawthorns run from the back half, it is our cryptonite.I really hope Hawthorn don't make finals. I fear them more than half the rest of the top 8
