Interesting. Just thrash Cartoon by 100+ points and then we got it made.

Gws love early season kills.
My tip giants will slap the slow and old cats.
They will be tip top after round 1.
We will have our usual struggle with Carlton and get over them by 5 goals.
I can't remember the last time we have besten them by 10+ goals.
 
Magnificent stat ........ if we finish Rd 1 on top, otherwise the mantra will be that we write our own history / we buck the trend / play to our own hymn book.....

Well I'll be hoping that the Doggies manage to roll the Skunks over by a coupla points then, that'll be the end of them :))

Oh and the Tigers hopefully brain the Blues by the weeks biggest margin

Happy Days .

I know.
*smile* me every year that they hang around. Would love nothing more than a 15 goal mauling.

Round 7, 2005.
And since then, THEY have beaten US by 10+ goals three times.
 
The other stat is that only Essendon, collingwood, Melbourne, Carlton and Richmond have won vfl/AFL flags in years ending with zero

Suns to turn over the Power in the opening round up in Kweelan thats my smokie tip.

But I'd also like to see the Dogs snap the Skunks and the Gee Whizz smash the Puddies.

I really can't see us being in tip top form early on.

I'm happy just getting wins. It was an interesting point Hardwick made during his press conference, that tthe Pies were having their third hit out (Carl, Geel, Us) while we were having our first.

It makes a massive difference.

We've aiming at being September Premiers. Let Buckley and his Pies claim the May premiership.

Amen to that.

that truly is an unusual stat.
I don’t know how someone would even notice that?

We’ve already proven that August form is way better than April form.
 
Now here's a more odd stat. Don't know if anyone's noticed it, but Chokingwood has only won 2 flags in 62 years.....

4 in 84 years while we're counting. Mind you, 11 by the end of 1936 was bloody impressive :eek:

Living on past glories though. Once upon a time the premiership was a cakewalk, but not for a very very long time.

My daughter are 9 and 12, and i enjoy telling them that they've seen as many tiger flags as their 54 year old collingwood supporting uncle has seen pies flags!
