1. only in the 8 because of our round 1 % (which is being slowly eroded)
2. we still lost: they don't do a review at the end of the h&a rounds and look at who lost by the least margin (that's -16 points.PERIOD)
3. see point 2
4. technically, all games are winnable, its looking at the most realistic scenario that you consider. No more than 7 for the rest of the year by my calculations
8. Go back to your opening comment. "Of course we could also finish bottom 6" It's a motherhood statement used to motivate academically challenged students who are averaging 20% "Of course you can pass, but you'll have to start getting 80s and 90% in your last test and final exam".

Personally, Gee, Stk, WB, Coll, Bris (enough games at the Gabba) Haw are ahead of us. Ess, Freo, Syd, Adel are all in our ballpark. Dunno I'd be betting on us making the 8 this year

1. Bulldogs win is still not eroded.
2. You don't make finals at Round 7. They do reviews at Round 7 to work out what's going wrong and improve in those areas. If we were playing at the top of our game and everyone in top form then you should be worried.
4. We can all calculate nothing wrong with that. But, just check the results over the past 7 rounds and if you can predict what will happen in the next 15 rounds put your house on it.
8? - My opening comment is for people who strive for success not failure. People who want success will have a can do attitude, no such thing as can't, can't is for lazy people.

In reference to point 8, can you come and tell my 18 y.o, 5ft 6' son that if he wants to play in the NBA he can. He just has to work hard enough. If he doessn't make it, no matter how hard he works his arse off, according to your alchemist inspired theory, he's just bone lazy.
Get real
