i don't think i've ever said... However going by champion data we have the 3rd toughest draw going nito finals this year...

champion data.........what is that good for?

probably one of the most useful tools for a league coach....

but how does that equate into how a draw is hard or easy?

At least by their measure the swans have the 8th hardest draw...

Result not unexpected
Margin was double I thought it would be

8 day break till carlton

Im expecting a big response

Thank god the golf was on at the same time, otherwise my 52 inch plasma would have ended up with a foot through it That was a massacare. Ack!!!!!!!

Is this the beginning of the end of the great Geelong era?
Last 5 matches: Lost to Port, Freo and Syd, beat Richmond by 5 points and didnt look convincing against North last week I dont think..

Yet there are still 14 teams below us, hmmmmm what does that say about the rest

Still a good side, i'm just wondering if they are beginning to lose that "aura" about them

It can't last forever. Geez they've given me some entertainment over the past 7 years though. Take a brave person to write them off just yet. should win our next 6 one would think so we'll still be right up there at the pointy end of the season no doubt about that. If we can play a part in finals, i'll be happy.

Still a great side. Probably just shows the depth in the side isn't what it once was.

The older brigade have just continued to play at such a high level that the predictions of a slide just haven't happened. Don't reckon they will bottom out any time soon but I think it shows that they will need everything going for them to have a shot this year

they only really had 2 quality players out...

I reckon this topic is bought up every year when Geelong lose a game... Geelong are to good not to bounce back. will finish top 4....

Was more talking about their bottom end, even with a full team. The old heads are still relied on heavily, and the youngsters are still a couple of years away from assuming the mantle. There will be a gap there.

Having said that I would not like to be Carlton in a weeks time

almost prophetic. I wouldn't want to be a carlton player this morning after last night
