2010 Ladder after round 22

[Gingernuts]

Only one side went into last weeks game thinking they were a genuine flag contender, how many came out thinking that?

Hehehe, hopefully none. I think there was a few youngsters that needed a kick in the pants and who better than Port to deliver it.

[Rik E Boy]

More so, which of the sides I have in the bracket with us a re a "shoe in" for 8th ahead of us?

I reckon North and West Coast mate. You look light on for big bodies for mine and that is something that hasn't appeared to have changed over summer.

[Booney]

Agree, North and West Coast are probably ahead of us, but by how much,2 or 3 wins maybe? 11 or 12 to them and 9 or 10 for us?

Anything could change those numbers.

Agreed. The middle of the ladder is always very congested. There might be that many wins between 8th and 14th let alone 8th and 10th. At this stage of the year you can say something positive about just about everyone except for Melbourne who still aren't done yet and Richmond who look bloody miles off it for IMO.

Just calling it as I see it, if I let bias get in the way of my decision making Geelong would be top but I really rate the Bullys.

Mate, just my opinion, but I dont know about the Bullies. Really depends on Hall if they can get into that last week of september.
If Hall gives them something to kick at then heck, you might be right.

[Wedgie]

I think even without Hall they are a premiership contender so if he does anything they'll be around the mark. As a Geelong supporter they have scared me more than any of the 3 teams we've had to play in GFs recently rightfully or wrongly. They should have on 2 out of 2 against us last year and are the only club that can say that IMHO.

Don't rate the Bullies. Oldest list in the comp and Hall is Scarlo's bitch. We pantsed them in that final last year before getting the deck chairs out in the last quarter. In the first match we played against them our number one forward was Tom Hawkins (Mooney suspended) and in the second match we had Chapman off the ground early in the second quarter, the same Chapman who cleaned them up on Qualifying final day. Also, the two minor round games Geelong was Ottoless. Makes a big difference as Hudson and especially Minson are ordinary.

I can think of another club who should have beaten us twice last year and they scare me a lot more than the Bullies and that is the Saints. The joy for us that once again they'll be contenders but neither of them can beat the Cats in a final. Doesn't mean they never will but hey we are still waiting for that elusive Hawk victory as well.

Saints shouldn't have beaten us either time.
I was at the Dome game and it was only a dodgy advantage call by an ump that cost us that game and we were a 3 goal better side GF day IMHO.
Anyway mate, we'll have to agree to disagree.

[Bum Crack]

Hawthorn are the team to watch out for this year. I've got a horrible feeling
