  1. I’m in a bet with mates group, before yesterdays game we were $8 to break the record for most consecutive wins. It’s very doable. North @ Marvel Freo @ G Swans @ G Pies & G Bye Lions @ G Crows @ AAMI Cats @ GMHBA Port @ Darwin
  2. So which WA team is chasing Logan McDonald?
  3. Clearly Tom Browne hasn’t read out contracts thread….
  4. I’d use the word potential when describing Weideman, Jackson is past that for me. The only question in terms of money is how good can he get.
  5. A lot of talk tonight and over recent weeks about if we play like we did today / tonight against the Lions or in the finals we’ll be in trouble. For the me the closest we’ve come to playing four qtrs was against the Hawks, yet even then we seemed to cruise for parts of the game, during the last qtr we didn’t kick a goal while the Hawks kicked 3.4. We only won by 10 points but at no point did I feel that we would lose. We seem to be able to put together 1-2 qtrs of per game and that’s enough to win the game. Yet some supporters are frustrated that we’re not going on to win by a greater margin. A few games that come to mind. Rd .1 Bulldogs, the grand final rematch. Down by 9 at 1/2 time we kicked 4.4 in the 3rd to 0.2, then 4.5 to 3.0 in last. We won by 26 with the 3rd qtr being the difference. Rd .5 GWS, seen by many including myself as a potential danger game. 4.0 to 0.5 in the first then 10.2 to 2.2 in the 3rd. The game was well and truly over. Rd .8 Saints, another great challenge from an aspiring top 4 team. We were 9 goals to 1 up midway through the 2nd, the Saints refused to die and in the second half we just seemed to cruise along doing just enough kicking 5.6 to 5.3, the damage was already done. Rd .9 WCE, seen by some as a potential 100 point thrashing we dominated two qtrs being the first and the last, kicking 13.9 which accounted for the majority of the margin. Yes Brisbane are a good side but they have a recent history of beating up on weaker sides all year then stumbling when it counts. Continual comparisons of what Brisbane beat the Eagles or North by doesn’t bother me. I think our best is 6-8 goals better than anyone else. The unbeaten streak aside, every week we have a new contender wanting to take down the reigning premiers. It would be hard to be up every week, but from what we’ve seen we can put teams away in a very short space of time. What does concern me though is our entries inside 50 at times, but when I went back and looked at the qtrs we’ve dominated I’d love to know the stats on how many of those goals were from marks inside 50 and how many from creating opportunities in general play
  6. Next 5 North @ Marvel Freo @ MCG Swans @ MCG Pies @ MCG BYE Lions @ MCG
  7. This is the, thing, if we were playing the Lions our mindset would be different. It shouldn’t be, but it is.
  8. The Eagles are having a crack, it’s not like they’re flooding, we’re playing poorly.
  9. Poor footy. Its as if when there’s no challenge we play like this.
  10. How about spending the rest of the game working on our entries inside 50, like the one just then.
  11. Could be 4 games clear of Freo in 3 weeks.
  12. Freo next 3 Pies at home Dees at MCG Lions at home
  13. Jack Steele out for 6-8 weeks, not good news for the Saints.
  14. Hoping Suns can get the job done today, not much of a crowd by the looks of things.
  15. Not sure if already posted, just read on FB that Josh Kennedy is potentially a late out.
  16. Well worth it as long as the internet stacks up.
  17. The competition can’t sustain any more teams, so for many having 19 or 20 teams creates new problems. Any relocation / new team will obviously be a long term venture. It may not get seasoned fans to jump straight on board straight away but some will. Over the years kids will grow up knowing nothing else but supporting them and the fan base will grow. I personally think one issue Tasmania faces should they get a team is player retention, as picturesque and beautiful as it is I don’t think it will hold the appeal for everyone (and yes I’ve lived there for several years).
