I said before the season started that the first 6 Rounds were crucial. We didn't need to win all games, but needed to be better than the 2-4 we were last year.

Epic failure on that front.

Gold Coast and West Coast at home the next 2 weeks. Lose 1 and kiss finals goodbye. Win both and the draw opens up leading into the bye.

I'm not giving up on finals yey, but we are hanging by a thread.

Forget the finals Bin. Just finish bottom 8 and trade for a lower pick. It's open field now with this team including Duz.

Nah sorry, still 17 games to go. Sure, we're not contenders, but I'm not giving up this easily. I refuse accept we're in for a dark winter

Well at least now the AholeFL have had their laughs with biased fixturing and as we stand 1-4-1 after 6 rounds, we get some easier teams.

The next 8 games to our bye has Pussies, Port and Aints as hard teams to beat...but I'd still rate the Pussies hard to beat.

you would be a good boss. Missed your target but never mind.

Other clubs are ticking us off as a win.
There's no certain wins.
We haven't beaten GC when we were good.

I never said this week was a certainty, but on paper it’s an easier opponent than the first 6. We do have a funny history against that team. Playing at Marvel worries me. They have already played there twice this year.

Yep.
Our draw hasn't given us any chance of recovery.
Compare our draw to Ports and Geelongs.

Touk Miller being out is a shame for them but probably the first bit of substantial injury luck we've had on an opposition team.

Essendon got melbourne without gawn and lever ... 1 week later they were back for us and Gawn especially was pretty good.
