After three rounds, the eight is pretty much settled I recon.
With respect to the question . . .
The only risk to us is ourselves. The other 17 clubs, and especially those in the top eight now, chit themselves under pressure very badly. Watch Daniher kick it out on the full from 35 yards out in front of 80 thousand on Preliminary final night at the MCG. See Libba chase kicks and neglect to man up when the momentum is against them. Buddy has an average record in big finals for a player of his standing in the game. And Duckwood will just revert to thuggery under pressure while Dangerfield will dive all over the shop.
We belt (i.e. go very hard at the player with the ball), they melt.
