How many can we win in a row?

I'd safely put my money on 6, up until we meet Fremantle.

What are your thoughts?

1. ST KILDA (Etihad)
2. PORT ADELAIDE (AAMI)
3. HAWTHORN (Etihad)
4. WEST COAST EAGLES (Etihad)
5. MELBOURNE (MCG)
6. NORTH MELBOURNE (Etihad)
7. FREMANTLE (Etihad)
8. BRISBANE LIONS (Etihad)
9. WESTERN BULLDOGS (Etihad)
10. SYDNEY SWANS (Etihad)
11. WEST COAST EAGLES (Subiaco)
12. COLLINGWOOD (MCG)
13. Essendon* (MCG)
14. RICHMOND (MCG)
15. GEELONG CATS (Etihad)
16. FREMANTLE (Subiaco)

No reason why we cant win all our games now leading up to Round 12 against the Pies.

Even if we drop a game - who would have thought we'd be 7 wins and 4 losses at the halfway mark???

With teams like Bulldogs, Saints and Brisbane showing some vulnerability now there is no reason why we cant secure a top 4 spot and give it a real shake in the finals....

Just have a feeling that this year there could be a bolter and the Blues are as good a bolter as any in the pack!

GO BLUES - Seeing Juddy in a navy blue jumper holding up the cup on that last day of September would bring a tear to the eye!

Sounds fair and reasonable......... but.........2 of those 50/50 games
you mentioned, the Brisbane and Essendon* games, you can s a f e l y
lock them in as wins, me thinks !!!

This thread should be re-titled 'getting ahead of ourselves'.

Winning 6 in a row/12 in a row is ridiculous crazy talk at this stage. We have won 1 game in a row!!! (as great a win as it was)

Next step is consistency for our side, we will still lose stupid games where we don't bring our best footy to the table. Being conservative I would be happy with 4 wins in our next 6, which would leave us 7-5, which in the overall scheme of things of where we looked like we were at after the Essendon* game is better than anyone would of hoped for.

Which 4 I don't care, but the next loss we have I am looking forward to the updated sakc Ratten thread :thumbsup:

Now I would love to win 6 in a row or 12 in a row, or 19 in a row and happy to eat humble pie if that does happen.

Hell, I predicted after the Essendon* game we wouldn't score over 100 points until at least round 10, we haven't scored under 100 since!

You need 10 before you can release a commemorative DVD.

While it has been a good week. I am expecting us to lose against Port. Mentally we are not there yet.

Expect to beat some good sides and expect unexpected losses to teams like Melbourne, North, Port etc

clayman is on the money, we are unpredictable so the next 15 weeks could go either way besides the richmond game, 6 in a row pie in the sky stuff, the way we are goin 4 would be ideal

I'm with you Sauce lover. Noting comes of beating your chest, unless your Tarzan and even then he ended up rooting the chimp not Jane......

Maybe we will never lose another game ever. Considering the world ends in December 2012....

Where is Blueman, I miss his predictive mumbo jumbo :thumbsup:
