- Thread starter ToraToraTora
- Start date
Anyone else think west coast is over rated, they've beaten no one this year and commentators are calling then contenders.

Can't read them yet. Generally getting the job done at 8-3 and flogging weaker sides. Seem very fit.
Like us, too early to label them contenders.
Shuey's a disgusting stager in the Lindsay Thomas mould. Ellis and Masten have poor disposal for mids. They have some damn good players though.
Doesn't hurt to see Sydaknee getting well on top of the Kangas, the bigger log jam of teams struggling outside the eight, the more room for us to stay inside it.

I was at Metricon today because, we support the Suns, but my 10 year old's Team (the labrador tigers ) were representing the Suns at half time.
The seniors were getting plenty of footy and were dominating freo but... Had absolutely no system of team play for moving the ball forward. The plan was chuck it in in the boot and kick it around the body without looking and... Cross your fingers and hope. Bluey is very unlucky and rocket is very very lucky.

North has almost the kindest run imaginable over the next eight weeks. Chance to go 8-0; finals certainties IMO.
2 of their next 3 are against GWS and Geel so they could lose those but yes, you would give them at least 6 out of 8 prior to meeting Freo which would put them on 11-8 with 3 to play.Then they would need only 1 maybe 2 of those last 3 (Freo, Bulldogs, us).LeeToRainesToRoach said:
Hmmm, they will make it.

it is going to be a log jam come end of season and there are 3 teams outside the 8 who are all capable of making finals - Port, Geelong and North. This season is more even than most and the footy scribes are all saying 12 wins should see finals - just look at the Suns v Freo game yesterday.
We can't afford to drop any games where we are favourites - eg GWS and WC at the G
Essendon averaging under 73 points per match - their lowest since 1956. If they score < 60 against Hawthorn, it'll be their lowest since 1927.

Did the ladder predictor. Think teams will need 13 wins this year to make it. Don't see us finishing top 4 even if we have a good run.
Tigers of Old said:
I have done the predictor a few times also - it from about now I start to barrack for certain results in other games (like Sydney last night). The trouble with the predictor is that it is very hard to pick the upsets and there will be plenty more upsets to come this year and to get a true read on GWS, Collingwood for example.
I agree - I think 13 wins is a must but the commentators are all starting to focus on the magical 12 as the point of making it. In my view, we need to win 2 of the next 3 just to be in contention for the 8 I reckon.
