[Matty 8 enters the room wearing his Dockers jumper, scarf and beanie. Upon hearing the conversation at hand he dons the clothing of a better team and enters the conversation]

Hey guys. [nods at Bainsy, Tremmel and Matt] Great thread. Lots of lively conversation. Who's the kid and how'd he get in? [nods at Crazy]

Personally, as a former Crows fan (pre 1995) I would love to see the Crows go all the way, the Tigers to finally play some good footy, the Bullies to lift there game, the Dockers to decide on a brand of football and for many...many Eagles' payers to drop with injuries in the coming weeks.

So far:

Tremell (West Coast)
Matt1986 (Geelong)
Matty8 (Fremantle)
Rabidcamel (Adelaide)
Bainsy (Western Bulldogs)
Mllama (West Coast)
Lazz40* (Richmond)

So who will win this weeks matches.... My tips as follows.
Carlton
Richmond
St Kilda
Essendon
Port(Have a feeling the hawks will struggle)
Collingwood

I think the game of the round is Essendon verse Sydney.

Go pies

I grew up with mates so obsessed with eagles that I followed the Crows originally on account of their catchy club song. lol When the Dockers came in in 1995 I jumped aboard and it's been one hell of a ride so far. I'm a very passionate supporter (previously member) but won't renew my membership until the boys lift their game...literally!

First of all Hawks are in top 5 for favourites to win the flag and the hawks beat collingwood in round one, so you just brutally recked urself idiot!
Secondly i am just happy seeing the tiges challenge top teams like the cats and the eagles! When we played both those tams last year we got thrashed!
Hawks were not in shit form! They had all their stars in including mitchell, lewis, buddy and rioli! Richmond were just the better team on the day!
As for who we have beaten! Saints, swans and hawks were all rated higher than us BEFORE we beat them! and i dont expect richmond to be beating contenders! there is a reason their called contenders, its coz their good!

I'd say if anything the tiges are underratted
Oh and by the way scince u dont consider hawthorn or collingwood contenders then who do u consider!!!!!?
Get ur stats rite dummy!!!!!!!!!!

i follow fremantle........

Colllllllllllllllllllllllliiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnggggggggggggggggwwwoooooooooooooooooooooooooooood

You're starting to ramble, I'm no sure I understand what your point is?

Of course Richmond are underrated, why wouldn't they be based on previous seasons and the the start to this season?

I never said Richmond won't be good in the future, or that they don't have some promising players. I disputed the notion that they have an 'elite' midfield at this point in time. That's not a knock on their players, but an assessment of where they are currently at.

Tigers fans have a huge reputation of getting ahead of themselves on the back of a couple of wins, a coaching change or a couple of draft picks. It's happened countless times previously, I think that's why people are skeptical every time a Tigers fan pipes up spreading the good news about a Tiger resurgence.

This isn't something new, but it always seems to end the same way - a 9th place finish and a September spent reliving the 'what ifs'.

I don't blame you for being excited and talking them up, but it's going to take more than a couple of wins to convince the majority of people that the Tigers are the real deal.
