Who will be the last team to be beaten by GC and GWS?

[SM]

Anyone give the Giants a chance against the Demons this weekend?

Yep!

Anyone give the Giants a chance against the Demons this weekend?

Yes, but the last quarter fade outs when they are in close games (including last time they met) is the concerning thing.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Definitely, this is their last chance for a win this year and I think they will set themselves up for it. How much chance do people give West Coast being the Suns' 10th victim?

Bookies are saying the Giants are favorites.

I consider it a 50-50 proposition

I think the Suns are a huge chance for am upset. When the Eagles put the cue in the rack the cover goes on the pool table and the barman turns the lights on and off.

Could be the first time both teams win on the same weekend.

Hope the dees get up - i would like to see a team go winless - purely because it has never happend in my lifetime and it would be one step closer.

I'd also love to see Melbourne finish above StKilda so that the AFL would have no justifiable reason to give Melbourne another PP.

 

[First2Bomb]

Time for Jim Boy to add Melbourne to the list of Giant scalps

 

[First2Bomb]

What about the record between GC and GWS? Have they both beaten each other yet?

That apart, established teams....last team for GC will be Essendon. Last team for GWS will be Melbourne.

There's a post to bookmark and get back to me on, I'll be right yet again

How did that one turn out?

 

[Oscarman]

Well isn't being the first to lose to both something to be proud of?

Not sure, should ask someone at Alberton.

Someone pinch me with a giant tweezer....I am wrong about something
Wow, first time for everything

 

[Oscarman]

I'd forgotten they lost to the Suns.

 

[Eastern Rangers]

I'll go with Sydney.

Given you play GWS twice a year you'd be doing well.

It would be fascinating to see - and could easily happen to Melbourne or St. Kilda in 2014

The question is whether a winless season would be taken without panic or whether it would result in upheavals like we have not seen that could potentially ruin a club?? Sturt in the SANFL in 1995 went winless - indeed they did not get within 24 points of any opponent - yet coach Phil Carman showed himself very capable indeed in later years, raising the team to a 16-4 record in 1998 and 12-8 in 1997, 1999 and 2000. (In fact, I wonder if Carman was approached by an AFL club circa 2000 since when St. Kilda were trying to replace Tim Watson The Age I recall said they had considered “AFL coaches, VFL coaches, coaches from interstate and former AFL coaches”).

Still, if GWS do not win in their last four games (they could avoid the wooden spoon if they do) they will still be:

1. The first 1-21 team since Fitzroy in 1996 and only the fourth since 1970 (after North Melbourne in 1972 and Melbourne in 1981)
2. Only the fifth team with only one win in 45 years since the 20-game season began permanently in 1968 (Sydney in 1993 were 1-19)

People are fairly underrating St Kilda at this point in time. We have been competitive in all but 1 game this year, and putting another year in the kids will do wonders. We have had a lot of key injuries this year as well.

Not saying we will win a flag, but its an enormous reach to say St Kilda could "easily" go win less in an entire season.

 

[IanW]

(Sydney in 1993 were 1-19)

And in 1996 they lost a Grand Final.

Things can turn quickly in footy.

 

[RodneyMaynard]

colour me biased, but i'm starting to think the Crows might be the last team to be beaten by both. We seem to match up very well on both the Suns and GWS for some reason.

Indeed they can, this was also mentioned:

The first 1-21 team since Fitzroy in 1996 and only the fourth since 1970 (after North Melbourne in 1972 and Melbourne in 1981)

North went on to finish sixth and miss finals by half a game and % in 1973. They then played in five consecutive grandfinals 1974-1978, winning the 1975 and 1977 flags.

Reckon it'll be either Hawthorn and Sydney.

Reckon GWS will beat us before Gold Coast do.

 

[King Cold]

Sydney

 

[TheMcGrathMan]

Adelaide, Essendon, Fremantle, Geelong, Hawthorn, West Coast left?

 

[The Prosecutor]

Adelaide, Essendon, Fremantle, Geelong, Hawthorn, West Coast left?

GC defeated Adelaide last year from memory.

 

[Southern Urchins]

I can't see GWS getting near Sydney today.

Oh wait.....nevermind.
