Thought Touhy was very good yesterday. Has turned out to be a good pick up. Black look dangerous at times, give him a few more games but he helps take that pressure of Hawkins and loos like it opens up further dor Menzel as well.

Given the issues of poor form around some teams, there are only now 2 questionable ames.
Both away games
Crows and GWS
Outside of that we should win the othee matches


Well thats a shift in attitude mate, normally it would be we'll be lucky to win 2 more matches for the year ;)

Crows look much better than us IMHO, Port and GWS would be a good chance too.

Jury is out, correct. Port of '15/'16 would not be confident of the next two, Brisbane away and West Coast at home, if the '17 version of Port is serious we win both and find ourselves 5-2.

There is no doubt Port have improved. Ryder is a massive in and Ollie Wines has lifted his level and SPP provides some grunt as well. I like the look of some of your younger players such as Houston as well. I think they'll make the eight which most Porties would take in a heartbeat but I don't see them up there with GWS, Crows, Bulldogs or Geelong. That's the top four for me. Someone said West Coast last week that made me laugh. I'd rate Port ahead of them.

I think Port can earn themselves a home Elimination Final this year. I liked their second half against Carlton last week but I don't think Kenny would have been too impressed with the first. The old Port was always ruthless, we saw a bit of that after Hinkley presumably blistered the paint on the change room walls at half time.

Hawkins is the one they can least afford to lose.
So you've seen everything have you?
Yep
Have you ever seen a man eat his own head?
No
Well you haven't seen everything then have you.

It's not because all lists have depth issues as there are eighteen teams in the league. Every club would have key players they can't replace.

I don't think our 2nd tier players are consistent enough.

Net result of the era you've had. A few look to be taking the next step as far as their best goes, but you rightly want more consistency from them.
