How many people are breaking it down to each game on its merits as opposed to winning x amount of games and then thinking it can't be done. I think too many on here are underselling the coaching panel. Before the Geelong win many were still questioning Roos as a match day coach thinking he's purely installing a culture. Are we underselling the work McCartney has done with the likes of Stretch and ANB during the preseason and first 7-8 rounds of the season. Out of those 8 the Pies and North I think would be the tougher games but are winnable. North has owned us for years, easily pushing us off the ball but they are currently a mess. The GWS game is an interesting one, I say that because it's in Melbourne and its rd 23. Depending on where they sit on the ladder could determine how they attack the game. Could they be safely in the 8 and look to secure their first final regardless of the result and rest players. Could they drop there next couple and fall in a heap. RTG I have a brother who's a chef and doesn't mind a bit of the mushroom action.

Reasons I think we can......We don't have Grimes/Toump/Jones/Bail play. First 7 games in Melbourne. The ES hoodoo crap can just like the SS ended three weeks ago. We can get on our own roll. Salem and Kent to come back giving ANB and Stretch a rest. Obviously no more injuries would go a long way.

Those 8 games are all winnable, whether we turn up or not is a different matter. It's understandable that not many think we can go a streak because of the crap that's been served up for so long.

Why not? The win over Geelong showed that the penny has dropped with this group(by group I mean 2/3 of the list). Players like Angus and VB and Hogan turn up to win every week.

I think we can, having said that they're a key fwd away from being a great side. Poor goal kicking or lack of it has cost them three possible wins.

Next 7 weeks no travel, all winnable games. Barring major injuries we're a chance. Would love to beat pies/North.

Was looking at our run home, Bombers MCG Lions MCG Saints MCG Pies MCG North. MCG Dogs ES BLUES MCG FREO SUBI GIANTS ES I've got us 8 out of 9. Dropping the game against Freo.

Only two more trade/draft periods to go and the list and player payments will be in check.

Can you please ask what Grimes is on. Cheers.

Who is our recruiter/talent scout these days?

Yep he's on the list.

Who is Jack Grimes for 500.

I just watched it again....twice.

I thought GWS should of beaten Richmond if not for some dubious umpiring decisions/interpretations.

Anyone watching the Origin? Possibly some of the dumbest footballers getting around. In the news all week is the Gibbs v Schulz sling tackle and opponent getting knocked out, closely followed by (depending on where your living) the Alex McKinnon tackle/ Cam Smith story(Cam Smith was not involved in the actual tackle).Have the game on as background fodder, get out of the shower in time to see two NSW players pick up and go short of dumping a QLD player on his head. What part don't these players from both codes get? There's nothing tough about crap like that. The effects of concussion may not be known for some time, the dumping of a player on his head is just a dumb act carried by moronic bafoons which as we have all seen can have horrendous consequences.

I like it, except the French wouldn't have him.

Not really, please don't forget he was left out of the rd 1 team and was dropped once or twice after that and coming back into the side because of our injuries. How many of the other 17 teams would he get a game in? We need to move on. Would love to know what he's earning.

Is Grimes part of our midfield rotations?Grimes has had plenty of opportunities, we've seen what he can do and it's not enough. He is no longer best 22 and should be on the trade table at years end.

Just drawing a comparison on the level of bafoonery displayed by both Jobe and Homer.

Can we add Grimes into that deal with Howe. Apperently the Suns are void of leadership.

What would you take for Toump? I'd be happy with a second round pick.

Quality person?I've got no idea why I'm getting all these injections. Homer Simpson at the post office Homer - hello I'm Mr Burns, I believe you have you have a letter for me. Post office worker - Ok Mr Burns what's your first name? Homer - (pauses, blank look on his face) I don't know. He's no leader.

Its like the whole Malthouse saga, you've got the milestone now sodd off.

I would like Michie and Newton to be given some more opportunities before the year is out, maybe not both at the same time. I like the team you have named but would make one change. VB to the fwd flank, Toump to the VFL and Newton to the bench.

Cant remember if I was in agreement or not on that but that whole era was still part of the "we haven't developed them properly". Everyone is out of excuses and some senior players are getting found out.
