Eight Zip...

[hearts on fire]

How often have teams jumped out in front this early in the season and have a 8-0 record? and how many times have two teams been undefeated......

I think the Western Bulldogs and St.Kilda in recent years (separate years) had excellent starts but dropped right off.

er....last year

OKAY DUDE!

I ALREADY HAVE THE ANSWER FIRST POST DUDE!

Excuse me....dude ........I replied as I read it.....Geez get over it

WCE went 15-1 in 2001 and 10-1 in 2006.

I think you mean 91 Pup. The Eagles in 2001 were about as good as Geelong in 2001 (in other words 5hite!).

Haha yes they were.. I meant 2005.

[nuggety goodness]

let's look at the team who were top after round 8 previosly and where the ended up at the end of the year...
2008- Geelong (by %)... finshed top...lost GF
2007- West Coast 7-1... finished 3rd... out in straight sets
2006- West Coast 7-1... finished top... won GF
2005- West Coast 8-0... finished 2nd... lost GF
2004- St. Kilda 8-0... finished 3rd... lost prelim

so really i'd rather not be top for now...

the premiers were at this point...
Hawthorn - 2nd, 8-0
Geelong - 3rd, 5-3
West Coast - top, 7-1
Sydney - 10th, 4-4
Port - 6th, 5-3

it's all about september action boys and girls...

I think West Coast also went 8-0 in 07 but got knocked out of the finals in straight sets. Absolutely decimated by injuries towards the end of that year however.

AMEN!!! the only reason for footy is so we can pick our best 22 and 'outcoach' our mates!!!

and the 22 rounds are to keep the dud football clubs (Melb, Rich, Freo etc) busy and to give the better teams (Geelong.... ummm.....) some trials before september...
