Dont want to be negative but the truth is the way we are playing see below draw & which teams can we beat?

Bulldogs- H

Saints- H

Cats- A

Hawks- H

Swans- A

Blues- H

Bombers- H

Pies- H

Bye- This will be a win!

Bulldogs and Bombers our best chances!

And to be a chance against them will need a major form improvement.

Not looking good at all.

Bulldogs and Bombers? Really? Serious?

Honestly, at the moment, it looks like a winless year and I include GWS in that as well.

Wrong. Not possibility. Probability.

Who will we beat this year? The ultimate ignominy will be losing to GWS at the G which could very well happen. And who among us could even muster the energy to boo Scully out of the stadium without feeling the ultimate irony of having the team/club validate his decision on a weekly basis.

if we don't beat the Dogs this weekend than sadly i think this is an 80% chance of occurring.

Jeez that's painful.

This just might get very very ugly.

Hibernation seems the only option.

Watched a bit of the GWS - West Coast game......dare I say it? You-know-who was outstanding. His running ability and fitness is amazing.

It's one heck of a draw, isn't it? Yikes. Pretty much all our winnable games are in the second half of the year.

Umm, no, I looked at the draw and saw them all there. I'm not hoping for anything.

I'm not saying we WILL win them. You understand the difference between "winnable games" and "games we will win", don't you?

If we spoon it...wow. Just wow.

That said, I take encouragement from Richmond a couple of years back, when the bookies paid out on them going winless IIRC and then they won six of their last seven.

yeahhhhh...lets keep going for the picks... yeahhhh...thats the go.. bugger the silverware...thats for fools !!

What else happened that year? They got a new coach who has since got them playing a respectable brand of football and having a very promising midfield.

What do we need right now? Exactly the above.

Thanks, Einstein.

And have a good week ahead.

The Chicke Little-ian attitudes that prevail on this site amaze me.

Yes. Our form is poor. Our third quarter fade-outs appalling. Our confidence shot. Our new game plan an over adjustment. Our adoption of said plan struggling. Our senior players down on form. Our injury list frustrating. But despite all of that, there WILL be weeks where we will play alot better than what we have dished up over the first three games. Sure, we look to be heading for a bottom four finish, but we sure as hell aren't going to go winless all season. When was the last time that happened? Even GC won a few last year, after some predicted they'd go winless.

Just this weekend -- Geelong went down to the Roos. The Pies had their pants pulled down. GC nearly beat the Bombers.

Shite happens! And it will happen to us.

P.S. For what it is worth, a 3 and 1/2 quarter effort next week should win it for us, and we're a chance against the Bombers, and a slim one against the Saints at the G, and by the time we meet the Pies we might just have the game plan to match them

Dont want to be negative ....

Then don't start a thread on the possibility of being 0-11 by mid-season.

Predicted 2 wins up to round 11, those wins were supposed to be Brisbane at the G and I can't remember the other one (probably Bulldogs). We won't beat them now, I don't give us a sniff, something is majorly wrong with this team. I have fallen out of love with the playing list in a major way.

What else happened that year? They got a new coach who has since got them playing a respectable brand of football and having a very promising midfield.

We've got the coach.

The rest will come.

At least if we spoon it, we will get the first two draft picks. Or pick 1 and Viney. Maybe we should put off Jack Viney until 2013.

Yep, it's gonna take more time and we are in for some severe growing pains.

Next revelation...

We should see improvement across the board in the second half of the season.

We will beat the Pies and that will be the game that puts them into crisis mode and will be the game that will help us turn the corner.

I think we will be 2-9 after 11 rounds. Should be able to muster up a win against the Bulldogs, Saints, or Bombers, and I have a good feeling about the Pies. That being said, I'm an optimist. When an optimist picks 2 wins from 9 games you know you're in trouble...
