Then there's Jared Rivers on the sidelines with a knee issue that's causing issues with our defensive structures, meaning that jPod has to cover down back to cover for the missing Jared Rivers and we're forced to keep Hawkins in the fwd line when clearly he's not moving well and is carrying an injury.
As promising as our young kids are (10 played with less than 50 games of experience against the Bombers) I fear they will drop away in form towards the end of the year. Managing them will be Scott's greatest challenge.
At this stage I think that Hawthorn is still the team to beat.

Probably won't bother again lol
Good rebound by the Tiges after last weeks loss.
It's all starting to fall into place, a few of the pretenders are starting to get exposed.

We were missing 6 from our best side too including the captain

It may not seem like an issue for the time-being, but most weeks you guys have been 4-5 goals down at some stage during the first half...only to mount a comeback after half time. It's a wonder how Geelong have pulled it off week after week, but as the season progresses and players begin to tire, these comebacks will be twice as difficult to achieve.
As for the hawks, it's good to see us still performing well with a number of key players out and buddy out of form.

I can't understand how Geelong can be on top with half a side that's played less than a couple of years of senior football.
I think the AFL talent pool has been so diluted with the addition of the 2 expansion teams and the gifting of so many of the best junior footballers to those 2 clubs that the majority of competition will be in a state of stagnation for the next couple of years.
The 2 teams that will benefit from this are Hawthorn and Sydney, the competitions only 2 sides that are in the 'window' at this stage.
If the Hawks and Swans can play out the season free of injury to their key players, the GF will be contested by them again this year and probably the next.
Anything 'promising' by the other sides at this stage is an illusion, including Geelong.

At least the Crows had a moment.
And they gave it to the Hawks for a fair bit last week.
