I think we will be more competitive than in the past but would love to see Reiwoldt rested and Hickey not playing.....

With only the following being more of a worry.
Adelaide in Adelaide
GWS @ Etihad or up on their paddock

We will still cop some hidings, it is a fact of where we are at present and it is still quite possible to drop the heads and get run off our feet to the tune of 100 points, it is a reality when a good team is one fire.

We can beat the Saints, they are not the best team in the comp, but they will be extremely hard to beat on a fast surface and I tend to think they will win this by 7+ goals.
If we keep it respectable, if we do get within 4 goals (or win), it will be a massive effort.
Beating Essendon and Collingwood is GREAT as a supporter, but knocking off the Saints @ Etihad, with the way we play would say far more about where we are as a club imo

Hamill might have something to do with it.

Hes still in their coaching setup down there from what I understand.

At the end of the day, there are no easy matches, and its 22 vs 22 on matchday so a bit of luck and we can win.
