I’ve been saying it to friends and family for weeks, this 7 week run (beginning with the Cats) before the bye is going to be telling and 2 weeks in it couldn’t have gone worse

Everyone was up and about with our season start but I was very alarmed when we dropped to the Crows. Prior to that, we needed a miracle to beat the Lions and then beat all bottom dwellers.

I can genuinely see us losing 4 of the next 5 and I’m not even confident of nailing the Suns , albeit at Home. We should have beaten the Pies who were without JDG and Mitchell, easily in their top 10 and we still couldn’t do it.

Am I being pessimistic? I think our top end talent is elite but the bottom end talent is VFL level and you win flags off your depth which we have but the quality of depth is the issue.

It’s also absurd we play the Cats again less than 8 weeks apart.

Oh and PS, I know we have been destroyed with injuries.
