That we do.

And that is the issue, right there. This week we are expected to win, and win well. Gulp.
Three options: just win against an opponent we should beat comfortably (our pattern), lose to a side we should beat (our pattern) or break the pattern and win well.

Anybody who points out who should win and by how much before they actually see which players are playing in the team are setting themselves up for disappointment.
I always wait until the teams are announced. Our hopes depend on who is in the team (or who isn't) and how that changes our team balance.
For the past 2 weeks i've gone against convention and got the winner right. That is based off who is actually playing.
Without a ruck (and 2 key forwards + 2 key back) we are behind the 8-ball before the ball is bounced.
With them all, lock it in.

North have been in much better form than their ladder position suggests. The Suns, on the other hand ...
Of course, Dew could get the Suns up for the game but, realistically, we should win well. The question for me is whether we stay ruthless or take the foot off the pedal and coast home.

Suns were very poor last game so there has to be some extra effort from them which might reduce the margin but if we cant beat these hackers by at least 5 goals we probably didnt turn up to play.

goldies to answer critics and we will be like 5/6 goals up at 3/4 time and they will kick 4 in row and us to win by 15 pts
