Carlton - Turn season back on positive note thumping the blues...lid back off
Collingwood - thump pies on Anzac day. Big spread in sundays HUN dissecting what happenned to the 2010 premiership side.... lid off
Laverde stars on Debut and gets rising star nomination for round 4.
Summary after 4 ganes 12 points and close to top 4 with healthy % depending on other results.
Realistic view mode: Sydney will beat us by a mere 3 goals. Everyone will be talking about how good Hawks are only for us to beat them and 'surprise' the public.
Should win the next two. So 12 points and a healthy % is expected.
Realistic view is Sydney lose rd 1 a lot more than they win it.

They’ve been in finals all of those years bar 1.
They had another late start. And they’ve lost depth (Malceski, OKeeffe, Biggs, Membrey) while we’ve picked up more than we lost (Cooney, Giles Gwilt vs Ryder.
We should win.
Biggs played a couple, and without Malceski would come into calculations IMHO.
Membrey, I actually agree, I just know during trade week on here he morphed into some Carey/Dunstall/Hird/ironman superbeast, which made him worth a mention.
