Yes, this is an 'out there' comment, but if you consider this:

Round 3 - Sydney - Telstra Dome;
Round 4 - Hawthorn - Telstra Dome;
Round 5 - Richmond - MCG;
Round 6 - Collingwood - MCG;
Round 7 - Essendon* - MCG;

Given Sydney's current poor form, I think every single one of these games is absolutely winnable.
We are, however, a very young side that can be inconsistent, so it is more likely we will probably drop 1 or 2.
That said, if the side beats Sydney and develops some genuine belief, this situation is not out of the question.
I'll be watching with hope, interest and enthusiasm.
Go Blues.

Love the optimism barrell!...

Although I'm not looking that far ahead!...

Saying that though, this Saturday night is a MUST win for the Blues. If the Swans are yet to notch up a win and are still in "premiership hangover" mode then it is vital that we go to 2-1 after round 3.

If the boys fight REALLY hard and strongly believe in themselves in matching it with the Swans then we could snatch the 4 points.

Go you good thing go!

You're not wrong barrel, that is 'out there'. But I love your optimism & I can certainly understand your logic. These games are winnable however I don't want to get too excited.

Oh, and pass it on. :wink:

We can't be top. Geelong will be 7-0.

I think Geelong will be on top as the Bulldogs won't be able to sustain their gameplan long term IMHO. There are other teams that will be able to expose them for height and strength, even though they are super quick.

I think Geelong are going to be the in-form team, and West Coast after knocking off Saints and Adelaide are looking good also.

i love the optisism, but bulldogs will be on top on % over geelong, they will both lose once each.


geelong play bulldogs in round 4, bulldogs will win, but they will then lose to adelaide in round 5 over there.
