Round 2 Suspension Fears

[Nails]

Although I'm getting him into my team (probably) this week, think Waters should be banned. He has done the same thing 3 years in a row, which I have seen other players cop weeks for. However, Waters is an eagle, and the tribunal would never dare suspend an eagles player. Hoping one day somebody gets him back and Waters suffers long term brain damage.

Sorry Jukes but that is a flowerwit comment

Ah not tom lonergan lol, phew, was gona say huh.

Oh and schedules may even out, some may not...but gifting a team a truly easy start builds massive confidence.  Gift Richmond that draw, let them go 3-0 and see what happens.  But by the time their schedule "evens" out, whats the point?  They are 3-8 and out of finals contention.

If you are a top 4 side like the eagles were last year, you should be playing the top teams twice each. after this week, they will be top of the ladder....massive percentage, massive confindence going into the hawks game.  Big change from if they had cats...hawks....blues to start and were 0-3.

Or the eagles haven't been tested in the first 3 weeks and come out and get destroyed by a fine tuned and match hardened Hawks. If a team is good enough they'll come back from a 0-3 start, it's just a question of mental strength, which true premiership sides have an abundance. And for the record West coast play hawthorne and collingwood twice, finishing the season against hawthorne on the road. Id much rather play an easy game at home at the start of the season than a tough one on the road going into the finals.

WCE draw 9th hardest but most KM traveled
Freo draw eq13th hardest but 2nd most KM traveled

that being said

JUKES finally a smart poster.   Its so sick.....an eagles player could commit cold blooded murder and not even face a week.

Beau should be ousted.....but nup, cant do that. 

Look at the schedules thus far. Cats have played freo in subi and the hawks at the g.  Hawks have had pies and cats.  Richmond get the top 8 in the first 10 games. 

The eagles? Well gee after 2 tough games against the bulldogs and melbourne lol....they travel this week......to GWS!!!!!!

Freo get  to waste their home games on gws and gold coast.....eagles get these games gifted on the road, while facing the good teams at home, to have a chance.

is good point but need more info than just first 3 rounds to take it seriously

Hmmm fair points.  Id rather the tough matches at the end though......nice way to be fine tuned and raring to go finals time.

I really thought cats would start 0-2 but i still say they be top 4.  so yes a premiership side would make nothing of a 0-3 start.

Media on the other hand..........
