Fast forward to late October, same year. Next season�s Fixture comes out. 4 of our first six 2017 games are exactedly repeated. So how did we go?
My assessesment is an 7 out 10:
-only non WA to win in Perth. The Round One win against the Eagles was in high sight was magnificent.
-beat a Premiership favourite, the Giants, who a year earlier appear to have to wood on us with 3 powerful wins in a row.
-another unbelievable and in this case against the odds win against the Cats at Kardinia Park.
-beat the Premiers from only 18 months ago in the Bulldogs on their home ground, coming from a long way behind at half time.
OK, there were the South Australian/SCG losses. However:
-Port always do well at the SCG very early in given seasons as shown in �99, �06, and last year.
-Tough coming back from Perth with 51/2 day break
-With the Crows Buddy and Hanners were injured and shouldn�t have played
-The Crows (including their coach) were fired up after a poor game in ADELAIDE the week before.
I am sure there are plenty of other negatives. However, overall and compared with the first six Rounds of 2017, you�d have to fairly happy.
