No worries.

Our run home is really tough. Here's what I reckon might transpire, either probable win, probable loss, or 50/50 (and I'm trying to be as objective as I can)...

Geelong - L (too good)
Port (a) - L (too hard away, while still in finals mix)
Collingwood - L (hitting some form, will be out for revenge)
Essendon* - W (struggling)
Richmond - W (although danger game, their 100 year celebration game)
St Kilda - 50/50 (struggling, but have had the wood on us. MCG might get us over the line)
Sydney (h) - L (altough we've got close a couple times at the Dome recently, so maybe an upset possible? If Hall was still out, maybe 50/50)
Bulldogs - L (too good)
Adelaide (a) - L (too good, and away)
Port (h) - 50/50 (hopefully out of finals contention by then, and at home)
North- L (too good)
Brisbane (a) - L (too good, and away)
Hawthorn - L (too good)

That leaves us with 6 wins, with 2 possibles. Say 7 wins. Maybe we pinch another, that would make 8. Can't see us doing any better than that.

Could be a very disappointing end to the season if we're not careful.

Siegfried, my thoughts on your thoughts.

Geelong - L (too good) Agreed
Port (a) - L (too hard away, while still in finals mix) We have confidence after Subi
Collingwood - L (hitting some form, will be out for revenge) They're our bitch
Essendon* - W (struggling)
Richmond - W (although danger game, their 100 year celebration game) Only Richo will play his guts out in that game and we will want to make amends
St Kilda - 50/50 (struggling, but have had the wood on us. MCG might get us over the line) The natural order of things has been restored - refer to the ladder.
Sydney (h) - L (altough we've got close a couple times at the Dome recently, so maybe an upset possible? If Hall was still out, maybe 50/50) They shit me no end this team - WE HAVE TO BEAT THEM.
Bulldogs - L (too good) Not so sure - they are travelling well but I expect the wheels to fall off soon
Adelaide (a) - L (too good, and away)
Port (h) - 50/50 (hopefully out of finals contention by then, and at home)
North- L (too good) Will be primed for them
Brisbane (a) - L (too good, and away) They are starting to shit meHawthorn - L (too good) I want them crushed into the ground and then stomped on for good measure

Hey DUC, will I be that optimistic if I sit on a piano???

Ok often young teams who are improving like ours have great second halves of the season. Not saying it will happen, but I think it's hard to predict how much we will or will not have improved in a couple of months time, especially getting players back from injury (walker). On top of that, many sides who have great first halves of the season fall off the rails a bit in the latter stages. We have a chance in more games than most people think we do.

The rest of the season will be very interesting

spot on there i think...realistic outcome
