We're out of the 8.

When we win next week and Richmond lose and drop to 9th spot, order will be restored. 

As for if we were going to be anywhere but 9th after winning round 1 by 2 points.

We are the shortest odds of any team to win in Rd 2.  When was the last time that happened?

...and you were worried about that as the ball flew into GWS forward pocket late in the final Qtr on Saturday?

I had the pies beating the swans, regardless of that game I had them beating the Tigers. Now no Steele and Swan against no Lids. 

Still thinking Pies. 

Howe might be back and Reid.

Ben Kennedy would be a nice in for the 'Pies. I don't rate Richmond and will tip Collingwood, they'll want to bounce back after an embarrassing round one.

Don't think the Pies will get the chocolates Ethan. The loss of Swan & Sidebottom along with a speedster/goal sneak out in Varcoe will leave them very exposed. Even against a fairly decimated Tigers line up. Rance should be able to hold Cloke to say 2 or 3 max (hasn't kicked more than 2 goals in last 7 or so) and then it's just a matter of shutting down their smaller brigade up forward. Can't see how the Pies can kick a winning score. Whereas the Tiges still have 2 decent avenues to goal in Vickory (one trick poney but can mark/kick a few and bring ball to ground for their crumbers) and Reiwoldt of course.

Reckon the Tiger fans will outnumber the Filth's by a fair margin.

Pies have a week of media drug talk too!

 

Life is good right now.....

I'm happy with the 4 points.

I think the humour of your thread got lost somewhere along the way Mr White. I took great delight explaining to both Hawthorn fans and West Coast fans at a BBQ on Saturday night that my team was undefeated and their teams had not yet won a game.

Such a shame he doesn't play for them any more hey?

I reckon it would've been one of the years that the GC or GWS first started.

We win by 60 points and we could easily go to 4th

It is most likely that at the completion of round 2 there will be 8 teams on 2 wins (including MFC, of course). I wonder how long it has been since the whole of the top 8 were undefeated after two rounds....hmmmm??

Pretty sure the Bombers were paying $5-$6 last year and then shortened as the week went on.

Hopefully a win against the dons will see us move up the ladder. North Melbourne will be an interesting test for us.

North, Richmond, Collingwood all coming up. An early opportunity to declare ourselves a serious team.
