The Biggest Tank Battle since...

[The Emblem 1]

Given all the talk about draft picks and who might tank etc etc etc

I note our last 3 fixtures with interest:

Round 20 V West Coast at the G

Round 21 V Port at AAMI

Round 22 v Richmond at the G

Things could get interesting

there will be no need for tanking we will be that far last it wont be funny i expect richmond to win at least 6 games this year and even the eagles might pinch a couple at home...

wont be relevant

Agree the tigers are on 2 and a half wins, have to play us 2 more times and carltank as well, prob freo over here as well as wet toast

they should get to 6 wins easy

SURELY we are not suggesting the WEAGLEs will continue their horrible form. Port are pretty awful, but to fall this far form runners up last year is a bit rich. Both the eagles and Port should have racked up a few more wins by round 20. I hate to say it, we are just THAT far off the comp this season it hurts.

i won't feel comfortable with carlton until they get there 5 wins.

i mean seirously...if they have only 4 wins by round 10 they'll probably lose the next 12 and claim Naitanui and Rich.

but seriously... carlton only need 3 more wins for the year, and richmond only 2...so i think we're pretty safe.

and Port and WCE will definietly win 5. they'v got interstate advantage also which helps

All these teams are rebuilding @ different stages, don't trust any of them in a good draft year .

Are you serious?

You can't be sugesting that Port will be staying where they are!!!

They will easily finish top 6 ...they have too many guns in that team.

Your right they should, I had them top 4. However they were smashed big time last year after a quick Mark Williams minirefurbish, I just wonder if MW has decided that to be successfull they need a little bit more or this or that.

Well they've got the majority of their team on the field, save for Priddis and Hansen (whose overrated anyway), and they're not really putting up much of a fight. Kerr can't cope with being no. 1 instead of 2 or 3, Lynch is starved of opportunity now that the midfield is worse... sometimes clubs just have bad years so i think W.C. will do pretty bad. Not bad enough to win 4 or less, but they won't make finals
