As for my club, we could be 6-10 within a few weeks :oops:


The AFL should have marketed it as 'Woeful Round'. They could have had all time dud players like Kane Tenace come out and toss the coin to recognize duds' contribution to the wonderful world of footy. Absolute Barry Crocker!

This week might come close to it REB, looking like a fairly ordinary round coming up.
Collingwood should win by plenty against Carlton
Roos v Eagles should be ok although most matches in Tassie are ordinary
Richmond should flog Melbourne
Swans v Lions looks to be the best matchup
Essendon should towel up the Saints without Goddard especially if Nick misses aswell
Crows will paste Port
Hawks v Giants ditto
Geel v Suns ditto
Dockers v Dogs same
Can see 7 of the 9 games being 60+ wins


Geez that is crook. Fancy serving that carp up when Wimbledon finals and State of Origin is on. This year's fixture is one of the worst in living memory. Geez, I wonder why that is.

Yeah I know that but Hawthorn's main strengths don't hurt us that much and they struggle with our tall forwards. They don't have the ruck strength to captilise on the fact that West is our lead ruckman and they don't have the midfield speed to expose us for pace. They also kick short a lot and that gives us time to get numbers back. Why didn't they beat us in Round 2? We've been shite all year and they didn't win that one.

As for all over even though we have stunk up the place this year we still only lost to the Swans by a kick in Sydney and nearly rolled Collingwood. I'd rather be us than you that's for sure.

REB

Good reply. Well no, I'm not but you can't have it all your own way. We've been spoiled over the past few seasons. It's been a frustrating season for the Cats. Earlier this year Gingernuts said 'pride goeth before the fall' when I was doing my usual Cat brag routine but unfortnately the playing group appear to think they are better than they currently are.

We have given up huge leads playing some really garbage football only to play the kind of footy we are capable of to lose by a kick. Our big problem this year is that the younger players who made great strides last season have suffered a few injuries such as Varcoe, Menzel and Vardy and we needed blokes like that to help us overcome the retirements of four premiership players last year.

We don't have the depth that some other clubs have at the moment.

You've had a fair run. Could do some damage in the finals if you get in

Put them to sleep is more appropriate.
Think Gazza'a mob might end the misery, now that would be symbolic, the turning point for both clubs.
Hope the Cats dont under estimate the impact Blighty will have this week
