Yep, even though we have both won 11 games, our percentage is more than 30% better than the Geelong's, the first time ever that two undefeated teams after round 11 have had such a disparity in percentages. There has never been a team with a 30% gap after round 11, and with an equal number of wins as the second placed team, that has lost the premiership. Game over? (OK, not yet, perhaps you can spot the fault in this statistical argument.)

Just watching them today in snippets. Even in a below par effort (kudos WC - pretty good), that speed of movement out of the centre is just so hard to defend. Some extraordinary talent around the ball. But geez, you look at them either end and we really do offer an incredibly competitive contest, you'd think. If we can match their midfield muscle - no easy task, some of their boys are pretty hard units - I can't help but feel extremely hopeful.

Still, knock over Carlton first, make a mockery of the Richmond rabble, and then see how we go on the day.

There's never been 2 undefeated teams after Round 11 before.


St Kilda's 2 premiership captains are Tassie born. The Doc & Roo.

First prize. Never after round 8 before (1936) for that matter. On the up side, our history stands before us.
