Tough start to 2008....

[CureTheSane]

Where's the 6-0 option.

You've gots ta be optimistic at the start of the season....

[reigning premier]

I didn't honestly think that anyone would be silly enough to ask for it.....

Your sillyness has been noted...

[Doctor J.]

Of all those games, the only one I have down as a loss is the skilled stadium game.

Why wouldn't you be confident about beating St Kilda. Port never trouble us, have had Brisbanes measure, even when they were a good team, WC are probably more likely to suffer a fall than us (something about losing Judd & Cousins tends to make me think this) and Norf Jumped us last year, it wont happen this year.

Having said that, the worst I think we will be is 2-4.

[BeeEmmAre]

thats better

Whatever.

It still doesn't mean my respect is going anywhere near the slimy underhanded ALP until they earn it.

And that's all I've got to say about that.
This is a footy thread. I'm sure there are other forums for you to spout off about this stuff.

I reckon we can beat the Saints, Port & the Illegals, but Brisbane in Brisbane, Geelong at Skilled & the Roos in Melbourne - No Chance.

[Robbo]

I wouldn't care if we tanked this year. Our premiership window is closed IMO.

Gee, that's a bit harsh. I reckon we've got a good chance if the cards fall our way with injuries.

[Blood]

I reckon we'll be 3-3 or 2-4.

I've got Port home and Brissy away pencilled in as victories, with the Weagles as a possible. We'll probably lose the other three though.

But yes i agree, it's a tough start.

Personally, I reckon we could easily be 0-6.

This has got to be our worst opening draw for a long time.

What does everyone else think?

Yep it is tough. Tiggers, Scraggers, Bombers, Hawks (we own them), Melbourne then the Gold Coast would have shoe horned us into the season nicely. This season is going to be interesting at the cattery. Will they suffer a post premiership malaise? Personally I think Port could be the toughest game of this group. We could very easily be 2 - 4 and struggling with our draw. We really need to have our game day faces on from the first match this year.

[swansrule100]

if we want to be a good side we need to have a good start simple as that at our best form (which we rarely displayed in 2007) we would win all but the geelong game.

Theres no such thing as an easy game these days its 22 rounds of hard matches.

Just a friendly reminder....

[ScottH]

Well you really @@@@@@ that up.

Where is the 3-2-1 option?

Let's just say, anyone who went 3-3 or 4-2 was right.

Everyone else is a tool.
