That doesn't mean we can't beat them, but I'm not sure they're as bad as people assume based solely on results.
They are doing much better than I expected them to, but thankfully haven't been winning much.
Pies, effort against Essendon, who we beat with some comfort in the end, was awful and they were just as poor against St.Kilda, with the Saints awful kicking kicking keeping them close. They just beat the Swans by a point, who we beat well last week. They beat Geelong but for some reason, while the Pies have been poor for a few years, they've managed to beat the Cats 6 of the last 8 games. Then again we had a comfortable win over Geelong last year too.
They've been no better than us this year.
