I never said teams who win heaps of games rarely win premierships, I said teams who start strongly like 9-0, rarely win premierships

Yes all teams play twenty-two games, I can't argue with that, but you can end up in a situation where you've only lost three games in the home and away season and then go out it straight sets because you weren't able to play your best football comes finals time. This is why teams who start the season strongly like we have, rarely win premierships. I'm using history as a guide.

Usually teams that go 9-0 are playing at their peak

Yes that's possible. It's also quite possible that we have indeed peaked. Premierships are rarely won with a 9-0 start because those teams runs out of puff come finals time.

A Danger Game
9-1 and losing to lowly Adelaide. We all would've taken that at the start of the season.

I've always had the view that it's not a bad thing if you’re not playing your best football this time of year. I just worry that we've peaked too early.

What they're saying down at Royal Parade
Good point. I think I'm remembering the Roos years where there was a period where they kept beating us even thought we were the better team.

What they're saying down at Royal Parade
We're going to lose

What they're saying down at Royal Parade
I kind of agree that we're due for a loss. We've been creeping towards a loss that last two games and Carlton are our bogey side. Plus they've been under pressure this week.

Best Goal-Kicking Technique?
One player I think needs to work on his set shot routine is Pickett. He just takes a few steps and looks too casual.

Best Goal-Kicking Technique?
Tom McDonald. Beautiful, simple technique. Drops the ball very low, minimising the chance for the ball to move out of position before being struck by the foot.

CHANGES: Rd 09 vs Carlton
Please don't play Petracca if he has a corky. We need him cherry ripe for tougher games coming up.
