Jumping Jack Clennett 1,825 Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 We beat the Crows over there. The brilliant Pies, so good they can' t pick a whole lot of stars, get beaten by 4 goals, though big Tex was a liability!

Very mobile and gave them a great target/option in the 50 and up the ground. Didn't snag any but added a lot of other things. We played with heart and spirit over there, we are still learning to play like that every week. At the moment it comes and goes in patches. Adelaide and Collingwood are both better sides than us, but can be beaten with determination and commitment to the team, style of play and game-plan.

Pennant St Dee 13,473 Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 We got belted by Meth Coast who lost to Carlton but belted GWS who beat us. Every game is different

I'm not saying it suggests we're premiership favourites , but perhaps the Adelaide effort was more important than we think.

The Adelaide game being the exception.

Adelaide had the weeks rest as well, but don't get me wrong I personally think we are significantly better now than we were earlier in the year and I would back us to have beaten Meth Coast (still our worst performance by a long way) in the last 3-4 weeks. They are absolute front runners and loaded with downhill skiers

Tyson_Viney_Toumpas 269 Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 Tex did great for his first game back, had a couple of miskicks but that was expected. 17 disposals, 7 marks, 0.4 I'd be happy if I were him.

Little Goffy 14,982 Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 I really loving this season. Teams are up and down week by week and the ladder 'range' over which surprise wins are happening is more than it has been in years. I have no idea how we are really going overall, but I went into last week's game thinking we were a shotto win, and I'll go into this week's game thinking the same. And the disappointment of round 1 is being steadily eased each week, as it feels like St Kilda have gone backwards since then while we have made progress.
What 18,810 Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 we lost to GWS, St Kilda and Bulldogs hope that answers your question
Ted Lasso 19,586 Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 We could easily have 4-5 wins Saints,gws , gc and the doggies we should have won from.where we were at 3/4 time in those games which would have had us 6-2

The facts are we lost to GWS, Bulldogs, WCE, Saints, GCS and Sydney, three of those teams will be in the bottom 5 with us and Brisbane, two will finish in that 7-12 area on the ladder and one is a top 6 team. Adelaide is another team that will be around 7-12 on the ladder. I think over the next 8 weeks we get a true indication on if our team has improved we have a run now of teams that are looking to finish in the top 8, Richmond, Port, Collingwood, Essendon, North, Bulldogs, Fremantle, Geelong then Port again. The bulldogs are the only team that definately won't play finals footy, Essendon, Richmond and north will be like WCE 7-12. You don't expect to win many over the next 8 weeks, we just can't get blown away.
Ted Lasso 19,586 Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 I'd be stoked with winning 2 of those games and been right in the rest it's vital we don't get destroyed

chookrat 4,268 Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 This season I care less about beating bottom sides then I do challenging good sides. No point beating Brisbane if we get done by 100 points v Hawthorn. That said Id be happy with a few wins against any side as long as the difference btw our bet and worse continues to improve.
