Scape Goat The Lid: Where is it at?

[wills2g]

Until we get to the gf and perform they can’t be trusted imo

more mcg games would help

interstate clubs have a bigger advantage qualifying because theyre the only ones that play on their home ground

but if you face a melb team they play way more at the mcg

 

[ashep]

We're clearly the best team in footy. We play an exciting brand, we have depth, and we're experienced/battle scarred.

Sure, until we actually win the big one it's fair to doubt us, but by every metric, we're the team to beat.

The lid is in ******* orbit.

 

[The King!]

Right now my main reason for optimism is who is challenging?

Cats I still think are not going to stay in the top 4, but probably get there now, they are tough of course.

Pies arguably too far back almost and not quite there.

Essendon aren't ready.

Carlton- think they are missing a few for the year who help, they have those forwards and are a big threat, but also don't put sides away.


Port- flakes in September as we have been at times

GWS- Were a big worry but still yet to beat a top 8 side

Demons- on their day sure, prefer not to play them as an MCG team because their best is good, but I think they have internal issues and we cover them well,


Who else is there? no one imo

 

[Pugnacious1874]

I can't seem to find the lid.

I find myself checking the ladder on the AFL site every hour or so, thinking it might have slipped into the crack that has opened up between positions 1 and 2.

 

[Membling]

Still ajar.

It is there.

We are only 9 rounds in and all it takes is an injury run to derail us.

Playing well but premiers are not made in May

 

[BarneyBent]

Lid is off but it's still in my hand. It's a long season, we're the best team in the comp right now but that could change quickly.

If we're still the best team leading into September then I'll be a little more comfortable.

and into october even better

Nah, we don't have to be the best team in the league, just the best team on the final Saturday in September

So are you really saying we’ll pi55 it in ?

If we beat blues and cats

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

If we beat blues and cats

Even so we beat Geelong easily early in 2022 by 6 goals.

Few months later was a 100+ turnaround.

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

If we beat blues and cats

I’m 99% sure we beat the Cats. Blues I’m a little bit worried next week- if Tmac and Liz are back will feel more comfortable.

We are off multiple short breaks and just played on concrete. Blues forwards (inc DK) v our backs worries me greatly but I feel our ruck / midfield is streets ahead. Blues midfield is slow, very slow and with very little defensive rebound.
