Just got to look at the ladder to see what a tough opening we've had this year. Well done Sainters to be 4 and 1. Due for a recovery game I say (jwhich we still almost won.) Go Sainters! Watch how we come back against the bullies on Friday.

But we lost one game so therefore ALL is lost (isn't it?)

And we were always bound to start more slowly this year, after coming off a Grand Final our second half of the year is going to be our best.

If we are 8-3 at the halfway mark, I'd be pretty confident of going 18-4 by the end of the year.

And we beat Sydney on their own turf (should be 8 points). Dont think too many teams will beat them at home this year.

Yep, on their home turf and on their terms. That's why they are so dangerous, they dictate the style of play.

Did it occur to you that there is a reason those teams are in 1, 3 & 4.

It is called percentage.
They all have high percentages because when St Kilda beat them, the Saints failed to smash any of them.
Hmmm.

this is a joke right? Either that or you have no idea. We are the only team to beat these teams and with the exception of Sydney we won the others pretty comfortably. Or maybe we just have to win every game by 10 goals.

I hope that was tongue in cheek, because that would literally have to be the most negative way of looking at something I have ever read in my life.

In my mind we are currently first. Sydney lost to us and since then they have faced who exactly? Richmond, Adelaide, North and WCE.

Ofcourse their % is the highest.
