AFL - Round 1 (non MFC games)

[rjay 25,063]

Geelong played a worse game in mid season last year but managed to regroup to put in some good performances before going out of the finals in straight sets.

Definitely on the decline. They have a lot of players coming to the end of their tether and I'm not sure whether the combination of Hawkins and Clark is really going to work - their forward line looked cluttered and one paced.

A lot of their star players are near the end and under Scott the Cats haven't learned a defensive game. Of course they haven't needed it in the past where they went all out attack with the class to do it. As we have seen under Bailey, if you don't have the cattle you can cop a few good beltings with this approach and I think this will be more the norm for them.

Yes I agree Curry.

I posted on this forum , when Frawley was still a Dee, that his communication skills were roughly equivalent to a pot plant.

No offense meant to pot plants.

yeah,yeah bbo......but what type of pot plant

some pot plants are sharper than others

Yeah, and someone else can make the "changes for next week" thread this week. I can't cope with the fame and adulation that has come with it.

Well folks, do we stick to our predictions of no more than 4-6 wins and bottom four?

Some of the sides we thought we wouldn't beat looked pretty bog ordinary this round.

Bears. West Coke. Norf. Even the Pus Kitties. Not to mention the Baggers and the Colliwobbles.

And that win against the Doggies in NAB Challenge not looking so bad now.

I thought the number 8 was the magic number last time we did a wins prediction thread.. I still reckon that's about right

Seems about right. Still hope we can grab a couple more but 8 would be on track.
