Was always going to be a tough month with Sydney away and now Richmond, GWS & Freo in Perth to come.
Last night was our best win in near on 3 years.

Should win 2 of those 3.
Ruchmond will have you covered.
GWS fielding an Academy side
Freo are just shite

Great win, forgot how good Mason Wood looks when he is fit and firing, Scott has made him earn his spot and be hungry when he got his chance.

Why was he left out to begin with? Was he not working hard enough?

As others have said looks like a genuine match winner when up and about.

Wood & Garner can cover Waite, Larkey is another who has been earmarked but needs another solid VFL season under his belt IMO.
As for covering Thompson, I’d hope we are chasing McGovern as hard as anyone.
Vickers-Willis had been playing well down back before his knee injury Sat night.

Both Thompson and Waite ( when he's out there ) are reliable, to maintain the current curve you'll need to replace them with some quality.

You're more of a chance of getting Dustin Martin than McGovern.

Its been tough cause of our on field performance, we suffered a hangover from the Boomer/Petrie/Dal Santo/Spud retirements, but are now reaping the rewards of those tough times.

We are certainly looking more attractive than Carlton, Saints, Bullies, Essendon, that wasn't the case this time last year.

Ed Vickers-Willis has done his PCL in his right knee for the second time in as many years & will miss the rest of the season.
Big loss, the kid was playing some excellent football.

How's the crystal ball for the rest of the 2018 fixture? A chance?

I see 6 you should win and five 50/50's.

On (and I stress) CURRENT FORM only,
Brisbane x 2, Western Bulldogs x 2, Gold Coast, St Kilda & Essendon = 7 wins
GWS & West Coast both in Hobart, Collingwood & Freo away are 4 x 50/50 games
Geelong in Geelong, Sydney & Adelaide away are probably 3 losses
Once again, only on form as it currently stands after week 8.

I had a Bulldogs clash as a 50/50 and the other as win LOL, I had the Sydney game as a 50/50 too.

But as you say, it's on "current" form, they really need to keep the momentum going.
