Given how our season is going, I think the more apt question is "who will we beat next?"
Given how well you blokes played against Essendon in the first half while they weren't taking you seriously, if you come up against a less talented team who aren't switched on, you should be able to establish a big enough half time lead to grab a well earned victory.
I'd be reluctant to say Sydney for GWS because they'll get 2 cracks at them on a neutral ground every season.
West Coast or Freo would be likely candidates for either GC or GWS because they will often only play them once in a season with that one game being at Subi. But we must be due for a trip to the Gold Coast soon.
Its a fair comment.I am surprised that no one has mentioned Collingwood.
Their record on the road is phenominal and their list is still fairly young.

Hopefully Essendon and well after Fletcher has retired!
Speaking of, had he played on Saturday, he would be the only man in league history to have played against both the Fitzroy Lions and GWS Giants.
In summary, it took 6 seasons for Fremantle, and 7 seasons for Port Adelaide.
yesIs he the only one to have played against Fitzroy and Gold Coast?

If teams that don't exist yet count (which they do, according to this), the last team GWS will beat is going to be the Christchurch Knights.
Yeah but Melbourne were bottom four 5 years ago, and Collingwood/Hawks/Cats etc were all top 4. Not much has changed. I really doubt Melbourne will be the last team beaten by either of them.Its a fair comment.
I guess the theory is that teams just slightly ahead of GWS/GC i.e Melbourne are more likely to stay ahead of them for longer (or in the ballpark) whereas Collingwood will be expected to drop down the ladder before Melbourne (5yrs + from now that is).

There is something fundamentally wrong with your logic here....I guess the theory is that teams just slightly ahead of GWS/GC i.e Melbourne are more likely to stay ahead of them for longer (or in the ballpark) whereas Collingwood will be expected to drop down the ladder before Melbourne (5yrs + from now that is).
That however doesn't take into account 'lucky' games to GWS or 'Poor' games to those around them (no disrespect meant) that may result in a win to the expansion team over the established. This is a massive factor and anyone guessing melbourne is likely as right as another guessing the Hawks/Collingwood.
Because you believe Collingwood will never drop down the table under GWS im guessing?There is something fundamentally wrong with your logic here....
If I said I'd take Melbourne to be beaten by GWS before either Collingwood OR Hawthorn, would you take the bet?Because you believe Collingwood will never drop down the table under GWS im guessing?
I didn't say it would happen, I said it's a good THEORY.If I said I'd take Melbourne to be beaten by GWS before either Collingwood OR Hawthorn, would you take the bet?
And I'm saying that it's a flawed theory. Classic 'youth is better than proven quality' theory.I didn't say it would happen, I said it's a good THEORY.
Theorys are just that until proven true.
