This weekend’s results are falling our way . If Port lose tonight and lose to Geelong at Geelong next week and Lions lose to Freo at Freo; a win tomorrow and we have a great chance at 2nd place. We could possibly get second on percentage even if Lions beat Freo.

The fact is we’ve just beaten Collingwood and Brisbane and just lost to Port away and in dreadful conditions. Since mid way through the Season we’ve a 5:2 win loss record , with a small loss to Geelong away and a 2 point loss to an in form GWS at Alice Springs in wet weather . Im far from despondent about that state of affairs. Seriosly some supporters would only be less than critical if we won every game by 100 points plus ! Fantasy stuff. This is AFL and opposing teams are mostly very talented, professional and hungry to win.

The Pies only beat them this year by one and two points and they should have beaten them on both occasions. They are a young side but plucky and with some very talented players like Dawson. They are far from easy beats.

We are very likely going to finish top 4 and we have shown we can beat any of the top 3 teams … Collingwood only beat Adelaide by one and two points this year and yet they are praised for their close finishes… Adelaide are a good , plucky , young team with some very talented players like Rankine. Since Round 12 ( midway point ) we have won 5 and lost 2 games. One was small loss to Geelong at the Cattery, where they hold a formidable home ground advantage . The other to an in form GWS at Alice Springs in wet conditions and only by a couple of points. All of this without one of best players , Clarrie , and more recently without last year’s best goal kicker, Fritsch. I simply can not understand the unjustified, negativity of so many so called Melbourne supporters
