Matchups! WCE showed today what can happen when you get them pretty spot on.

Boomer, Swallow, Wells, Petrie.

Jones, Dunno, Dempster, Dunno

You'd think Jones will take Boomer, but who on earth plays on Swallow?

I am just not thinking Dawson v Petrie is going to work, nothing against Dawson though.

Yeah, that's the catch isn't it.

If you sneak into 8th, you'll probably cop West Coast over there in week 1!

Are people getting too excited about North?

They have won four in a row, but those teams have been Crows, Suns, Bombers, Port.

They are high in confidence, have some in form players, however they have encountered the above teams at a very good time.

Personally I hope the media continues to talk North up all week.

I'll be happy if we win the next 1 or 2 weeksâ€¦
6 in a row - sheesh? We only have 4 from 12 so farâ€¦
Crows and Bombers have beaten us already and we usually struggle with Port, so I can see why North would be confident.

We were good against Collingwood for a half and we challenged Geelong all night. We should have every expectation of winning most of our remaining games. I worry that the players will be starting to lose heart and its up to Ross to point out the positives and build them up for these weeks. Another thing in our favour is that there are only 2 good sides. the rest are average and we could probably handle any of them if we play to our ability. Luckily, the whole point of the home and away season is reaching a prelim. Geelong and Coll will have to play someone and I still think we can get there if the belief is still in the playing group. (senior players especially). This is the optomistc view but we were in a similar spot in 2008.

we were in a similar spot in 2008 but managed to get to #4 on the back of a good run to finish the year. also got belted by the two grand finalists that year as well. if that happens again though it would be good only if we can give some youngsters some finals experience.

3 Down - 3 to go

North - tick
Port - tick
WC Druggies - tick

Adelaide - very winnable
GC B@stards - certain
Freo - winnable

We should win all three considering our form and the opposition. I mean, we just took down the in form team of the competition, behind the Pies.

The challenge though is the week after Freo. Collingwood's our measuring stick and it'll be interesting to see how we perform compared to our last encounter. Don't know if we can win, but we should be more competitive.

Mission accomplished !
Six out of six.
And we have brought our % back to respectability.

Next challenge?

We have pretty much locked in a 6th or 7th finish with Shytney.
We need to slip past Shytney so we play them here (possibly even Docklands) in week 1 of the finals.

Obviously the key game is when we play them up there in 2 weeks.

Yep, got me.

I couldn't see us getting over North at the time.

Then Petrie got Zac'd and off we went
