Brisbane (Gabba), Collingwood (Subi), Sydney (SCG).
Three of the top teams in the comp at the moment, and two of the smallest grounds in the league. It's been a long time since we won at either of those grounds, I think (maybe never at the Gabba). But this is a new Dockers team that defies history.
So, we're 5 and 1 at the moment. Where will we be in three weeks?

If we can be 7-2 in 3 weeks time, I would be pretty happy with that.
But I will be even more happy when we are 8-1!

Even at 6-3 we are at a place that many would not have had us in. So I would still be pleased with it...

Absolute worst case scenario and we're 5-4, we're still only talking six wins out of thirteen to make the finals. That's sad, but still very achievable.

Seaby is gone for 12 weeks from Sydney, leaving Sandilands free to kick goals from the centre of the SCG. Brown is rooted. Fevola has hit his mad stage of the season. Collingwood are mugs. Get on the accumulator.

i. Vs Fitzroy at the GABBA will be tough on a six day break after 4 blokes rolling ankles and Rhys copping a nasty bump.
ii. We will smash the 'pies.
iii. Sydney at the SCG is 50/50
iv. After that it starts looking exciting. The last 13 are all winnable.

Can't see how Seaby missing makes it easier for Sandi

We'll beat Brisbane.
Our midfield is better at the moment.
Rich, Black and Power out of form.
Sure Brown Fevola will be hard but with our midfield winning we'll get them.

Brisbane have a good couple of forwards. We have a defence that will stifle them, and we have better talent all over the ground. Our first win at the Gabba and our first over the Lions since R9 2004.
Collingwood are all show. And we beat them at Subi.
Sydney have no ruck. At the SCG it is a kick from centre circle to goal line. We have a dozen players who can pinpoint it from the clearance to whoever happens to be 25m from goal. Or plant Sandi in the goal square and boot it on his head - keep Goodes occupied and any old backup ruckman will do the job.
8-1. Piece of cake.

The only win we've had at the Gabba came when Grover dakked Jono Brown, we just lost on the scoreboard. We'll beat them this time - the 2 big guys are tough, but we're capable of cutting off the feed. Former Black Duck, now a Ranga Lion, Banfield is the one to watch out for - could easily pocket 4 in a quick game.
Colonwood can't travel - even though it's a Friday night, we'll knock the knobbers back to Melbourne.
Sydney at the SCG will be tough, but unlike previous years, we're excellent in tight and when quick ball is exchanged - they finish well, so I reckon we'll stomp them early and then rest a bit in the 4th.
I agree with Stevie - we should make a good show of the next 3, at best drop a close one in Brissy.

Polly you have gone all soft. The lions have mange, lost their teeth and have a bad case of Fevolitius. Our fellas are just warming up and looking for new challenges. Better to call for more security guards on the plane for the return journey. They'll want to take control of that too after they've tamed those northern pussies.
