two teams that were finalists last year and one that everyone had in their finals at the start of the season is hardly average opposition. Though Richmond and Port hardly played like finalists, so maybe it wasnt as hard as everyone thought originally

Correct didn't mean you Jim, choose the wrong word, should have used most people.

Benny reckon you said you would be happy with a 4-6 start after 10 games, should get that at least?

I've been the kiss of death this season so far with my footy tips. I tipped the crows with a degree of confidence... Even that didn't work!

This is what i had for our next 7 games, with my new estimates (old estimates in brackets)

Syd (h) 40 (40)
Haw (a) 30 (10)
Freo (h) 60 (20)
Dogs (a) 30 (40)
Geel (h) 50 (50)
Gc (a) 60 (70)
Gws (h) 60 (80)

thats another 3.3 wins in our next 7, which would give us 5.3 from 10. So we are already 1 win ahead of where i thought we would be

Port look like shit at the moment.
Richmond well...............they look as they are struggling as well.

Still the crows looked good. Played well. I tipped the crows as I thought they would be too good.

Good win by the Saints too

On the saints they have improved quite a bit and seem to be heading in the right direction.

Thomas just a few minutes he would like to forget. Found the ball and every touch was stuffed.

It is consistent. Do it in the back half its 25m, in the forward line its 8m

Bit early for that I think, they are going very well but have played a couple of pretty ordinary sides.
They will definately play finals but not sure of top 4 material yet


I think It's definitely time we all learnt to spell the word DEFINITELY the right way.
And FWIW I think the Crows are a definite GF threat in 2016

Just go back to 10mt. Has been one of the most pointless rule changes ever and even after all this time is not adjudicated properly.

Changing the rule from 10m to 15m is just nuts. And I really can't stand changing rules when it's subjective. When they changed the mark rule from 10m to 15m I said it was crazy because all you're doing is changing the subjectivity. It's still grey. NUTZ!

every rule is grey though, thats like saying dont have a 50m penalty. Or a holding the ball rule.

I think in general it is a good thing, just that they too often make it 20m in the back half
