We could be 4-0
Should have beaten Port and we had nothing but chances to ice tonight's game. Poor execution, leading to turn-overs that made us pay.
We had more than enough of the ball to win, but we weren't good enough to capitalise on our many opportunities. Freo, were good enough to capitalise on their more limited opportunities.
Truth be told, I don't think we're far off from being a very good team.

If we are close to being a good team then we would be 4-0 now. We are 2-2 so we are not a good team and not close to it either. Plain and simple buddy!

Whilst I don't think we are a brilliant team this is one of the most stupid posts I have ever read. Teams have won premierships from worse starts.saintspremiers wrote:Your last line is wrong.SydneySainter wrote:Should have beaten Port and we had nothing but chances to ice tonight's game.

Einstein, have premiership teams been two and two after losing to the likes of Port and then Freo at home FFS?james rose wrote:Whilst I don't think we are a brilliant team this is one of the most stupid posts I have ever read.

I highly doubt it.
Had we lost our games to quality opposition, the fair enough. Freo in Melbourne is hardly quality.

I recommend reading the following season. You should know this it was our own club after all.saintspremiers wrote:

In the first 4 rounds we lost 3 games, getting smashed in two of them. Not one of the clubs finished the year above 6th. one of them finished Second last.

Re: We could be 4-0
None of WCE, Sydney or Essendon are likely to win the GF despite ladder position. I actually think at the moment injuries are starting to effect a few teams and this season is pretty wide open for the last standing. WC, Carlton and the Pies are starting to get some significant injuries. The Hawks are vulnerable but so far lucky, they have a very good elite core but if and of Mitchell, Buddy or Cyril get injured badly they are very prone. I might add them to my dream team as every one I put down seems to injure them selves at the moment.

2007 season.
Geelong were 2-3 after round 5, having lost to the Bulldogs (eventually 13th), Hawthorn (5th) and North (4th) by 20 points, 4 points and 16 points.
Lost one more game out of 18 after that.

Re: We could be 4-0
Disagree re West Coast Gringo. They are looking good for another top 4 H&A finish. Top 2 would ensure them home qualifying and prelim finals and get to a GF and well, that is anyone's game. At any rate they look capable of beating anyone.
To me, this season has no obvious favorites, first time since 07.
