We could be the worst ever team to be in the 8!!!

On the other we could be out of the 8 where we belong on current form!!!

It will be interesting to see how the team responds to dropping out of the 8.

Look at the results lately for Richmond and Hawthorn .. both of whom have been smarting for weeks. Are we a better side (on paper)?

My tip for this weekend. Death or Glory - no other options .. esp in front of a questioning and frustrated home crowd.

Bring back Warfe, chuck him in the middle to add a bit of toughness and maybe win a few centre contests, who cares if his kicks are mongrels, at least the ball will be going forward.

Thought I might, but it is really what we need. We have a great forward line, a good back line, all be it a bit short, and a terrible on ball brigade or midfield whatever you like to call it. Don't get me wrong, I think J Bolton trys hard and is always on the bottom of the packs, but that it is totally useless if he can't clear the ball and get us moving goalwards. Our backline are often criticised for losing games, but when they are being bombarded by the opposition on ballers, there is not a lot they can do, and more often than not they hold them to a relatively low score.

Jude's form, given that I am sure Davis poor form is due to injury/fitness, is the most concerning of all. I think in a few cameos Buchanan looks like he may be better value at present. Don't know how his endurance is, but he has appeared both cheeky and capable. His second efforts have been great and his confidence in stepping through traffic and passing off has me well impressed.
