its a good challenge aint it.

we have every other side in the top 8 except fremantle.
as well as the dogs and adelaide away.

will take a miracle to make 8th. still if we did make finals you reckon we would seriously worry all of the finalists!(cos we will have had to beat them all to make it!!!)

That's one of the more positive views I've heard of our draw little_ripper.

Usually all I hear is how the AFL have got it in for us (when people aren't moaning about the umpiring conspiracy)

And Gringo...we seem to be getting closer to your prediction from last year (see my sig) :lol:

A tough draw will keep us in good stead for years to come. Would it be worth it getting as easy draw and making finals or would it be better to have a hard draw, just miss out on finals but give our young players an idea of what level they need to play at each week?

Yeah, whilst contenders get easier draws than us ..

it kills me that a team can take the easy option and tank for years and therefore be up where they are and we toil so hard for years to be where we are.....

hope karma is hanging around that club when it counts

Teams like Geelong and Collingwood are going to make finals regardless.

Yes, it's going to be a tough draw from here on in. Does anybody think that we can win any more games for the year? I honestly am thinking that our last game against Port Adelaide will be our only chance for a win. Right now, Freo would be spewing they didn't put a request to play us on the MCG so that they can win a game there.

It is not a draw.
it is a fixture.

A tough draw, you are kidding right, we have just gone through our horror patch facing up to AFL behemoths Richmond, Melbourne, Femantle and North. :roll:
