| | IF
| THEN
|
Adelaide
| our gut feel on this club is right...
| …there won't be a heap of wins this year.
|
Brisbane Lions
| a team has played 20 quarters of footy and won just one of those quarters... | ...our maths suggests it is tracking to win four quarters, in total, by the end of the season.
|
Carlton
| Waite plays last week... | ...does Frawley play forward and do Melbourne win? Nup.
|
Collingwood
| someone has seen Travis Cloke... | ...can you tell Bucks where he is?
|
Essendon
| we look deeply into all aspects of last week's game in Perth... | …we could comfortably mount an argument that the Bombers were never going over there to win.
|
Fremantle
| Ross Lyon can't make Colin Sylvia realise that one day he might look back on his career and be embarrassed... | ...no one can. |
Geelong
| the 2014 season needs a contest that makes us remember that football can be exciting... | ...we get the feeling that this club on Monday will ensure just that.
|
Gold Coast
| Gary Ablett gets Brownlow votes for his 35 disposal, eight-tackle and one-goal game last week...
| ...it would be wrong. Had very little impact despite high numbers. |
Greater Western Sydney
| that oval in Canberra is ever again presented in the same condition as last week ...
| ...the Giants should abandon that city. |
Hawthorn
| Alastair Clarkson loves nothing more than a footballer who “plays his role”, … | …he has a big soft spot for Kyle Cheney. |
Melbourne
| Jack Watts had a vindictive streak... | ...he'd be smiling at what's being said at the moment about Nic Nat.
|
| North Melbourne | you missed what we said about Scott Thompson last year and again last week... | ...we'll repeat it: he's the best of his type in the game and he's still getting better. |
Port Adelaide
| we are to be honest with ourselves... | ...we need to admit it has taken too long to realise Jay Schulz is a fully fledged A-grader.
|
Richmond
| right now there is one player whose standing in the game is going right through the roof through absence...
| ...it is Brett Deledio. Tigers are stuffed without him. |
St Kilda
| you were getting a little giddy over the Saints' early form... | ...take a breath and reassess. Smashed by the Crows. Bombers, Hawks looming.
|
Sydney Swans
| the Swans lost four of their last five matches in 2013 and have lost three of the first four in 2014... | ...our maths suggests they've lost seven of their past nine. Their troubles are real. |
West Coast
| what we're hearing out of Perth is right... | ...Nic Nat's lack of conditioning will mean the remainder of 2014 will be a struggle for him. |
| Western Bulldogs | the Bulldogs can knock off Carlton and Adelaide (both at home) in the next two weeks... | ...their season will be set up nicely. |
