The game against Sydney was always going to be hard as besides the two who withdrew, we had 3 other players who had gastro during the week. i think we can beat them next time.
Also the matches against Geelong (Round 1) and Carlton, were 1 point and 3 points and could have gone either way.(the other sides both kicked goals in the last seconds to pinch tham)
last night was good.
but it was against a very average opponent at etihad on a sat night.
was the result in any doubt aside from the question mark over gastro?
if we can beat carlton in a high skill match at the mcg i might start getting excited, but last night we didn't do any more than expected imo.

Reality Check is what the bombers are getting at present
Can Port hang on ?
have Hirdy and Bomber been too clever for themselves in manipulting their team for this last round.. I know makes no differance but psyche is everything at this end of the year.

Expected by who?
The 'experts' seemed to be leaning towards the idea that North Melbourne (based on thier demolition of undermanned Freo) had finally 'arrived' adn were going to take our spot in the final 8.
It simply amazes me that every time we put in a good preformance there are many looking for ways to 'downgrade' it rather than admit that it was just a 'good performance'.

If I knew the Dons weren't going to try I would've plonked a G on Port and happy days all round!

That's the first thing I thought of when I saw the OP - plus WC Eagles.
People want to knock them down after just about every win.
Who was getting ahead of themselves anyway
