Were we a one hit wonder and now the 2nd half will prove a reality check as we play the serious teams.

Some tougher tasks to come. Just hope we maintain a competitive nature and continue to see improvement in different areas. I expect to see a few "honourable" losses like our games against Hawthorn and St.Kilda. I won't be shattered about that either.
maybe not this season but i expect to build on a few good performances and certainly be a more formidable opponent next season
but in saying that if we keep playing with guts and heart not too many teams will want to play us

If the one hit wonder effort is going to hit us, then it will not be in the second half of this year. I think it will be next year.
No doubt we have a core of very good yound midfielders, an emerging key forward and possibly a couple of decent ruckmen.
Defence is a worry, we have no real class back there, although Lids dropping back has certainly helped.
vs Sydney at the G. No worries
vs Freo. Piece of cake but wish it was at the G
vs North at the G. We'll get the points
vs Pies at the G. March April premiers will be sent packing
vs Adelaide. Nervous about this cos we'll be hot favourites. We'll get over them no worries though
vs Melbourne. We'll be singing our song late in the arvo
vs Carlton. Payback time
vs Saints at the dump. Hard one but will bring them down to earth with a thud
vs Port at the G. They've got no hope.
Our draw isn't that hard. We won't win them all but we're in with a genuine chance if we have the right mindset, confidence and determination.

the thing I am most excited about is all the games being in Melbourne, great chance to get out and see the boys play

The thing is though that the only one of them that looks a real backman is Newman IMO. Bringing the ball out is one thing, stopping your opponent kicking goals is the primary thing.
I think it is clear we are in need of a classy small defender and could definately do with both a good FB and a good CHB. McGuane and Moore would only be depth players in a good defence.

The challenge will be how we respond after a loss to a top 8 team when we play teams in the bottom 8 the week or two after that loss.
If we can hold our nerve we could win another 3 possibly 4. If we go into our shells we could lose them all.
DImma seems to think the 2nd half of the year will be consistent an better than the first 12 games.
In Dimma we trust
