The Run home:

Sydney (away) - Loss
Collingwood - Loss (?)
St Kilda - Win (?)
North - Win (?)
Gold coast (away) - Win (?)
Freo (Home) - Loss
Bulldogs - Win
Richmond - loss (?)
Bombers - loss
Port (away) - Win (?)

Which gives us 11 wins and no finals.

If we can win 2 out of pies/tiges/bombers AND not choke against Suns and Roos, then we are in with a decent shot.

But with no Murphy for 3 weeks, we might be in danger of losing 3 on the trot.
The next month will be a Real test of whether we are more resilient this year or not!

Maybe I am a half glass full type of a guy but I can see us winning most of those games if we bring the last two weeks effort and intensity and cut out the lapses.

Our game plan has been improving every week since the start of the season, bar the st kilda game.

barnstorming finish - 14 wins 5th or 6th

and ready to do some finals damage

Jez if we play with the same intensity as last week we will win at least six, but that is the problem the last few years.
We made progress in many an area but consistency is a non negotiable for a good side.
Yet to make progress this year again, so far.
If we beat teams we should consistently then yes we are on the way.

I have us winning 8 out of the next 10. That gives us 14 wins. Finishing 7th. I have us playing 6th place Essendon* in the first week of the finals.

I'm with poster grrofunger. Reckon the years of topsy-turvy application are now behind us and we'll 'bring it' every game from now on. Mighty confident of that.

I reckon we will drop 3 or maybe 4 and sneak into the and probably play bloody interstate in teh first week of the finals

If there is an Essendon*.

Gee I hope you're right...not sure where you can see 8 wins moving from though

Yeah but whatabout your whataboutism.

Red the lapses are now minutes rather than a quarter or two like they were last year or earlier this year. I now see 2 - 3 blokes going in for a tackle rather than a half hearted effort like earlier in the year.

7 wins max.

Won't beat Freo and too many 50/50 games to say any more wins than that.

_________________
I hope Essendon* folds.

Sydney's a loss but the other 9 are all winnable.

Realistically though, if we drop 2 of those (possibly North, Freo?) that gives us 13 wins and likely finish at 7 or 8.

Fockers game is a fifty fifty because it'll be low scoring but at home so you're always in the contest

Key to beating Fockers is to play their game and stop them from scoring too. Square the ledger
