We should not have lost to Richmond and Essendon anyway in first place. We would have had 32 points and in a very comfortable position to go to the finals.

I feel that we have a really good chance to beat the saints. If you ask me they are the worst team in the league. Their players have no confidence and everything seems to be getting worse. Alteast Melbourne and other bottom teams are playing like they have confidence and feel they can win. Sainst are no hopers.

Yeah, we do struggle against them. But usually this has been because their midfield has been the league's best, and our ruckmen have been the league's worst. We should be getting towards a stage where we can beat them.

Yes, the St.Kilda history with us certainly runs deep. A lowly St.Kilda and Lowly Sydney were the only two teams to beat us in '95 and the Saints have been our bogey since! We owe them pay time thats for sure but they will battle us!

Don't forget we always have a habit of running st.kilda into form

I think it would be more reasonable to say we "could" be 9-6 by Rd 15, but we "should" be at least 8-7. They're certainly all winnable games, but we not Geelong, and there are definitely no certain victories. But on our form and the form of these teams, we should be capable of winning at least two, and I will be disappointed if we can't.

GOOO BLUE BOYS!!! all i have to say..

The other thing is, after bombers, tigers and saints, our run home gets a fair bit harder with games against the likes of sydney, the bulldogs and hawthorn towards the end of the season

the next three weeks could very well be wins but let's not get ahead of ourselves - we lost to each of those teams earlier in the year and although the boys have grown as a side since, i wouldn't pencil them in as wins yet, we should start favourites for at least 2 of them and the way we are playing we would beat all three of them at the moment but we need to continue the way we are playing to win those three games. If we continue to play the way we are, then these games could prove crucial in being percentage boosters for later on if we make the final 8.
