Why not us Rocky?

To win? Gee, a lot of reasons really. Their rucks will pound Pitto. Their forward line looks better than ours. Their backline solid. A couple of their best will be back in with Impey and Watson and they beat us quite regularly.
The only thing working in our favour is that I'm still overseas in Crete and we haven't lost a game since I left.
If we win this one I will seriously have to look at extending my ticket. I'm not joking.
i might have to come join you again for another beer and some raki!

Don't be afraid Shawny? Back yourself 7-0, you're on fire! We're the team that never lets you down.
I hope you're right and unlike you I will admit I was wrong.

Mate im one on here that will openly admit if im wrong.

I not one to keep flogging a dead horse like others.

Respectfully, Depends which horse youre on Shawny.

The question has been answered.

Voss was a champion player but never had it as a coach. Apart from one season in his decade of coaching he failed to deliver with the lists he had.  To see first hand the change the minute he left ends the discussion.

Fraser may or may not be the right selection but one thing is for certain Voss wasn't!

Think our run will end on Saturday night
Bar playing bottom sides our form is good enough to be capable of beating Hawthorn and most others. Doesn't mean we will, given how good Hawthorn can be, but certainly good enough to be a damn good chance. Same was said when we had to play GWS in Sydney.

Be nice to win and get on the positive side of the ledger. Reckon if we win this we're a chance of going 10 straight. Should have beaten Collingwood last time as we played most of the game with 17 on the ground, given Elijah's, and still only missed with a kicked after the siren. 2pts there could have been handy as it stands. After that it's the GC here and I'm certainly confident there.

We should have hit time-on in the last quarter with a 30 point lead, then the last 2 minutes is no longer a raffle.

Have to learn to take the chances that are offered and bury teams, and do so from the first bounce.

This game was so similar to the Essendon one - we didn't turn up to start either of them, and found ourselves 3 goals down against cellar-dwellers.  So you end up playing a game in 3 quarters, with a 3-goal penalty.  That makes both wins look better than the score suggests.

My worry is we cannot play the MCG all that well.
Geelong would disagree.
