Well at least Roco has bothered to look at what is going on and try to understand it. Unlike the bleating fodder merchants like Blobbo n Maheron.

Yep. I wish they would argue this publicly.

Wow! Great read, well done Roco.
Maybe Jay clueless Clark should read this as an example of how to write an article!
 
A tiger mate of mine gave me some info on our last 22 matches

22 matches is a H&A season and in our last 22 games ( which is from round 9 2017 and includes finals) we have won 18 and lost 4 with a percentage of 137

It's pretty representative as well because the only sides we haven't played in that time are West coast and the Bulldogs. Apart from the 2 we haven't played the only side we haven't beaten in that time is Sydney. Losses to St Kilda and Geelong were reversed.
 
i think those blaming us for the poor standard have a point, but not in the way everyone appears to think.
it is not the games we play that are poor, it is the games involving teams that try to copy us but dont have the talent, discipline or fitness to play good footy our way.

Well said Brodders.
 
That peanut Barrett having another crack in his ridiculous "Sliding Doors" rubbish today. Reckons the premiership defence is off to a flyer but our draw has been blessed as we've only played (and been beaten by) one team from last years finalists ::) No mention of our dismantling of Hawthorn, Collingwood and Melbourne all of who have been tipped by most to be top 8 or even top 4 by some.

Yet everyone is raving about West Coast who have played 4 out of 6 games in Perth whilst the 2 away games were against the struggling Dogs and a narrow victory over the winless Blues. Got beaten at home by the Swans and fell in at home against the Cats who had no one on the bench in the last quarter. But they're flying ::)

And can someone send the goose a DVD of the Gwyneth Paltrow movie "Sliding Doors" so he actually can work out what term means???

Geez Barrett is a flog!!!
 
Yep, thought the same.
Funny how there is a refusal to accept our dominance.
Personally I think we are likely to finish top two and play every final at home, win , meet GWS
in the G F and win again.

Just pure joy .

We could do an essendon and lose only one game and they still would find a way to knock us.
Collingwood have won 3 games and they're held in higher regard then us.

They’re also forgetting that last year we weren’t a previous year Top 8 side. *smile*, we were a bottom 6 side.

Don't see the significance of who made the finals last year.
Hawthorn are fourth and Collingwood were fifth at the time we played them.
 
Absolutely nothing to worry about. The opposing coaches and some of the more knowledgeable commentators definitely rate us. Rather be under rated and get a couple of extra wins then having the opposition lift themselves against us every week.

if we werent reigning premiers there might be some merit in the argument that we havent beaten anyone good. it applies to north, it applies freo and it probably applies to the Weagles.
but fact is with the side we have we bullied the 3 next best teams when it mattered last year and there is nothing to suggest we wont do it again.
