Next four rounds will be huge for the club - Essendon + Richmond + Freo + Saints.

If we get three, we're looking good.

All depends on how desperate we are to work the game over the line. This will be character building considering we are all over the place covering keys roles. The next 4 games will set us up or see us slowly slipping. The gap between top of the ladder and the next 7 at the moment isn’t as large as I thought it would be a few games ago.

They haven't been smashed so for me with their full crew they are still clear favorites.
You would have expected them to win on the back of Gawn's performance. Perhaps they have a few players expecting that others will get the job done.
I imagine that Goodwin will be all over any compacency and, with May back, they'll be back to their best.

Did the Hawthorn coaching staff not watch our game? In the last, they let Sidebottom run around unopposed and he basically did what he liked. In a close game on a wet day, get back to basics. That cost them the game IMO.

CJ had a shocker on him in the last quarter.
Agree on Sidebottom......like the kid Newcombe for Hawthorn, they got a bargain with a kid that readymade and tough.

Club's would be better off forcing the Filth to target one of the kids on the rebound and keep Sidebottom locked down even if Sidebottom drags someone away and stays wide of play. At least when the ball is in some kids hand they are 50/50 in decision making and ball use, they'll make more mistakes than Sidebottom.

In 1995 we lost 2 in a row to bottom teams I think, then went 16 - 0 to win the flag. Think Melbourne will come back and not look back again. I would think they need the losses to pull their heads in a bit and not get to ahead of themselves.

I think they have problems. Their forward line is not exactly great. If one of Petracca/Gawn/Oliver were to go down, they would be right back in the pack with the rest of us.

not sure if this is the appropriate place, or maybe in Voss objectives. Since the bye round came in, we seem to have experienced a long period where winning post the bye has been a bit of an issue for us unless I am mistaken?
