Wins :

Port, Essendon, Carlton, Richmond.

First step to improving is beating the sides around you, I think they've taken a step. See how they go against some contenders.

Blew* a 6 goal lead against West Coast & had more than enough chances against Brisbane (still irks me). Should be 6-0. I’ll be disappointed if the they don’t take care of the Giants this week. After that, well…

Hardwick making a scene over umpiring in the presser to deflect the nepo babies inability to back up expectations yet again.

Given the biggest leg-up in football yet still can't get it right.

Watched the Essendon/GC VFL game beforehand, GC have an infatuation with little Academy players, don't they? I mean, Touk Miller is a gun, but they're not all going to be like him. Sharp and Perkins looked like monsters against them in the middle, no wonder they got the win.

As a supporter I get you'd be disappointed not beating GWS this week, however as a punter surely GWS start warm favorites?

Still a "work in progress". Plenty of upside though, decent spread on every line, great ratio of youth/expeience.

you'll cop the occasional heavy loss but you'll snare a couple of unexpected wins too.
