Same but throw in the West Coast game too because we are so likely to have a poor effort after a brilliant effort this week. That's typical of St Kilda right there.
The collingwood game will also be VERY tough - opponent wise, our toughest opponent for the rest of the home and away season.
And we hardly ever beat Adelaide at Tesltra Dome either so I'm not confident about that either...
Come to think of it - Essendon are our eternal bitches too - this might just be the St Kilda mentality - we SHOULD win at least five of our last six games, but we could lose every single one or any single one....
I'm just taking it a week at a time - enjoying each win for what it is - a quality win against quality opposition.

Every remaining game has significance, if not to the ladder outcome, to our sense of who we are.
West Coast – I know we beat them over there last year, but we are all painfully aware that our record on the road is abysmal. Prior to last year, the only times we’ve beaten WC at Subi were in our powerhouse years of 1997 and 1998.
Port Adelaide – we need to break the hoodoo. We haven’t beaten them on the mainland this century, and our only win has been a scrappy 4 point win in 2006 at York Park.
Collingwood – every Victorian supporter just hates Collingwood
Fremantle – Similar to WC re record on the road. Even the umpires taking marks for us couldn’t help. And then there’s the Whispers in the Sky. As well as the fact they stole our points at York Park.
Adelaide – I hate them for 1997, but also because we were the first team to ever concede premiership points to them in Melbourne (in 1994). And also for that match at TD in 2005 when we kicked the first 5 goals and led by over 30 points, but then only kicked another 3 for the match and lost by over 40 points.
Essendon – They no longer hold quite the same fears that they did when they had a coach who could out-coach anyone we could put up. But, as St Kilda supporters, it takes a long time to erase such nightmares from our consciousness.
