    I'm going to enjoy it. We can all get at least a week's worth of gloating in??
    I might have a slight drinking problem. My husband asked me to toast some bread for him...so I raised my wine glass and said "Here's to bread!"

    Thats how for and against goes for you. We need to have a few massive wins to boost things up again just like the Blues did to Richmond. And Brisbane.

    yeah you really need to capitalise on the big leads and turn them into big WINS ......
    i reckon even more so this year % will be very important for the top 4 spots

    Nice to be on top but let's not gloat too early. One week at a time. We are in good form and deserve to be there.

    I'm happy if we concentrate on getting the wins, and let percentage take care of itself. At this stage of the year, percentage changes very quickly as you win and lose games, and evens out as you reach the end of the season. If we end the year with 140% as we have now, we'll be right up there.

    177th Senior AFL Match - Round 4, 2009 - Sydney vs Carlton, SCG. This is obviously out of date. I suppose I'll update it once I could be bothered sitting down with the fixture and working it out....

    Sounds good but we only beat GWS by ten goals and North Melbourne beats them by 20, makes us look pathetic. Sydney lost an opportunity in round 1 that most other teams will capitalize on. I don't even rate North so what does it say about Sydney? We had bett beat North in two weeks time.

    Yes, but we beat Fremantle and last years premiers couldn't. Week to week you cannot draw straight parallels, it just doesn't work that way.

    Rarely do we blow the opposition off the field anyway so a large percentage for us is a rarity. But it was nice whilst it lasted:-)

    We lack a killer instinct, that's true. But beating up on a young fledgling GWS is one thing, producing results against seasoned, in form opponents is another. We beat Freo, and we should IMO beat North too. There greater winning margin against GWS is irrelevant.
