TalkingCarlton :: View topic - Run to the Finals

Hey Mick - let’s start ticking them off. :smoking:

We have 11 games to go:

West Coast
North Melbourne
Port Adelaide
Collingwood
Brisbane
Melbourne
Hawthorn
Fremantle
Gold Coast
Port Adelaide
Essendon***

6 games against teams outside the eight
5 games against teams inside the eight - bolded.
Big six weeks coming, if we get through the next 3 undefeated.

Looking at the predictor and assuming teams lose to others above them, then we can’t lose more than 2 or 3 with % playing a big part. The Hawthorn, Fremantle, GC games are crucial as all will be around the bottom 8.
Hopefully there are a few upsets, as there normally are, so let’s hope they are favourable to us!
This team needs to get on a roll and now….

I’ll update this each round as we move forward and see where we land.

The Hawthorn, Fremantle, GC games are crucial as all will be around the bottom 8.

One week at a time .

Yes Mick, one week at a time for sure, but we have to see trees for wood, so I will take the plunge with a longer outlook.

W. West Coast
W. North Melbourne
W. Port Adelaide ....game in Adeliade will be tough but hope we build our game to 4 quarters by then
W. Collingwood....we shouyld have got them first round
L. Brisbane.....Gabba
W. Melbourne....close, but another must win if we are going to pass them on our way to the 8
W. Hawthorn.... we should have beaten them first time round. Bad kicking for goal fkd us up
W. Fremantle....I think this is the game that will help displace them or break us. Its an away game.
L. Gold Coast....GC are hard to beat on their dung this year.
W. Port Adelaide...Home game
W. Essendon******

We need 13 wins. We have 5. Need another 8 wins. I think we can do it. We have to, to be a Finalist, and have a tilt at the flag, and, to be a destination club with momentum and potential. We need to attract players to improve our best 23, and improve our depth for 2026.

Newman and Cottrell back to get us moving along should help.

We play Brisbane at Marvel.

Yep , you have done a good job with the numbers for sure Bondi . Keep up the good work . Lot of effort goes into your posts .

I think the title is wrong

a stumble to the finals
a stagger
or

a Bradbury to the finals?

We are not making the 8

I'm retired but find it hard to say no to nice people asking for favours. It will cost them, but money is not a driver for me these days. Carlton winning is. Conundrum.

I saw the title and was going to recognise the optimism! But I see others have already. I’ll take the ride while we’re still technically alive!
