Just the first 2 games I'm stuck on. Rich v Pies- Richmond were good but they played Carlton, Is it stop Martin you stop Richmond? and the Dogs v Swans, GF reply Swans were ordinary against Port wouldn't want to go 0-2 yet I wasn't that impressed with the Dogs in round 1.

Hmmmmm :?

1997
Sydney were the minor premier in 1996 and get rolled by West Coast in a wet match at subiaco. They were 16th in Round 1,1997.
An 18 yr old Ben Cousins had 22 touches and was the leading goal scorer with 3 goals.

That's my point, the pre-season fancy isn't always the previous premier :)

I recall us being favourite in 2015, despite not even making the GF..

You could be right with Martin as Collingwood did show some good signs against the dogs.

Its a tough one as Collingwoods midfield is pretty good but they lack forwards.
Read my reply. It is directed at you because you have double standards

Not sure how we will go against Brissie, 30mm in a hour on the Gabba this morning and a couple of ground inspections have it touch and go for being fit to play on. If it goes ahead there with the rain expected before now and Saturday night I think it could be a soccer style 2-0 win

Key forwards aren't our problem (well, not our major one) - our problem is our leaky defence, which really is caused by our lazy midfielders and half-forwards not pushing back.
You're my only friend, and you don't even like me.
