I don't think we're tanking. And think that we will win one of Ess, Rich and St K, so that will put paid to the Priority Pick talk.

However, I agree with Melvey, we are a long way off the pace, and those teams who will battle it out for 7th and 8th spots (North, Brisbane, Port and to a lesser degree St Kilda) are significantly better than us at this point in time.

It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if we only won 2 or 3 more games this year. We have a tough run home.

Since 2002 we have finished off the seasons particularly poorly due to tanking and/or a lack of confidence/morale.

This year I think we will reverse the trend...Walker will return, Judd on the improve, the team adapting to Ratts game plan plus a group of promising kids growing in confidence.

8 wins is what I'm expecting at this stage.

I have $100.00 on Carlton to make the eight at 5 to 1 half my luck I say but still I haven’t given up just yet, if we get the right players fit at the right time we should go close, that’s my opinion anyway.

whoever thinks we are tanking right now is an absolute idiot

Haha, many jump on and off bandwagons as quickly as the goons in the media.

Two weeks ago it was a two-horse race and it was set in stone that it would be a Geelong v Hawthorn grand final. One loss each and all of a sudden the season has never been more open.

:lol: :garthp: :lol:
