Harvey talking it down as usual :)

[Cicjose]

he can't underestimate the importance of the result against the Bulldogs and needs to make sure that the job gets done over the next 3 weeks

In a good position for the top 4 Freo. If you guys keep Essendon, Carlton or Hawthorn out of the 4 I'm happy :)

[Cicjose]

i still think that we have a few stumbling blocks in 2 weeks and a derby in 3

[valkorum]

Cic - do I need to say it again :P  Stop thinking negatively.  We dont have our best team out on the field yet we are 4 - 1 for the season.  Our next 3 games are definitely games that we can win which would help build the momentum going in to the next 3 games which will be a lot tougher.

The 1 game that we lost was a close game and we should have won if we kicked straighter.

[Cicjose]

i know but if we don't keep winning all the weakness in the teamwork we have done so far will be exposed if we make the finals

[valkorum]

How will not winning now affect us for finals?

We lost round 21 last year badly because we rested all of our key players which actually helped us for the finals.  I can still taste the carton of beer I won from my friend who goes for the Hawks.

[Cicjose]

do you think we can go as far as we did last year??

[Alex7089]

I reckon you guys can make a prelim and have a good shot at winning it if you play as well as we all know you can. Young team and they will improve with the finals experience last year and another season under their belts.

[valkorum]

do you think we can go as far as we did last year??

Absolutely I think we can go as far as we did last year and I believe we are a chance to go 1 step further.  I still believe that we are a year or 2 away from being able to get to the final dance.

Dockers will loose the Prelim to Collingwood this season.. Geelong and the Hawks will face off in the other with Geelong going through.

The Dockers will make there first grandie in 2012 when collingwood look to go for the hat trick.

[Barlow 21]

Our season will be stepped up a notch Rnd 12-14. We will have Suban, Mzungu, Barlow (Hopefully) and Hayden back.
We are playing well so far so going one step further than last year should be our expectation. :)
All the horrid years of Freo coming 14-15th are paying off.

[Cicjose]

they will only pay off if we win a flag

[Bluke]

Winning a flag is no simple thing... Look at poor St Kilda and the Western Bulldogs... Still Freo are in with the best shot in the up coming years.

The biggest concern in my mind is whether Pavlich, Sandilands, Mcpharlin, Grover etc can hold on long enough. Freo have some great midfield talent and depth but they are somewhat lacking young talent down the spine imo and as soon as they lose some of those guys you might find that premiership window closing rather quickly.

they are in with a fair crack at the premiership though. they have a good strong team
