You dont have to be dead to be stiff!! The crows kick 8 unanswered goals in the last quarter to blow me out of my treble. Just one of those weekends I guess. Curious what other people think of the race for the flag?
I think after the weekend that it's very,very open.
This might sound silly but I reckon we might see a team from the bottom half of the 8 win the flag.
Saints look great but can they perform in the finals away from the comfort of the dome.
Lions are really hard to assess. They're just going at the moment and i wonder if they are starting to show the wear and tear of being a slightly older side but you just know they find a gear in September.
Port in my opinion can't win it. I don't think they have the midfield to compete and I reckon they are still susceptible when teams play hard 1 on 1 footy, which happens every year in Sept.Melb look like they are flat at the moment and it's really not the time of year to have a slump, but if they can play finals at the G they will still be hard to beat.
Geelong are really hard at it and in my opinion the physically toughest in the whole comp. I guess their ? mark is do they have the forwards to kick winning scores come Sept.
Swans must be reasonable value as a good roughie, apart from there terrible fade out last week, they are one of the form teams of the comp. I think the worry with them is that they run so hard in games they never seem to have petrol tickets in the last quarter and they would have to travel a lot in Sept.
West Coast to seem to be peaking at the right time but how will they cope with the travel factor.
Essendon can't win it. I follow them and they are not good enough to win 4 big games in a row
Freo- No
Very hard to work out.
