I'm comfortable with where we're sitting.

Our biggest threats this year, imo, were Brisbane, Sydney, GWS, Hawks and Carlton.

Brisbane: Almost lost to West Coast at the Gabba, albeit they rallied late to win. They're still a strong side and capable of beating us but looking a bit off to start the season.

Sydney: Not looking like the same team they were last year.

GWS: Obviously beat us, as they usually do at their ground. But they still look flakey.

Hawks: Racking up the wins. Not looking insurmountable.

Carlton: Vossy better get on Seek.com.au ASAP - Mind you, they'll probably find another gear when it comes time to playing us.

Outside of that, I'm not too concerned about the rest. Some of them are dangerous, without being genuine contenders. I feel like Doggies, Freo, Crows, Melbourne, even North could fall into this category. It wouldn't surprise me if they play out of their skin against us (and others) and chalk up unexpected wins. We've already got one over the Dogs, thankfully.

We've got two weeks off before we take on Carlton. Hopefully goes in our favour. Followed by Sydney (AO), Brisbane (G), Essendon, Geelong, Freo (OS), Crows (MCG).

Anzac day won't be as big of an issue this year since it falls on a Friday. but the travel from the Sydney and Brisbane games leading up to it isn't ideal.

In any case, by R10, I think it's feasible we're sitting 7/10. That's a pass mark, for me
