Geez, we'll probs only beat Carlton

[bulldogtragic]

Geez, we'll probs only beat Carlton

I wouldn't bet on that either. That's a bad limp to the finish line right there.

[Eastdog]

Geez, we'll probs only beat Carlton

Based on our current form we should beat the Saints and Blues but things can change and we may pop up and shock some teams as I'm sure some will lose form and get injuries. Still a very tough draw.

[kruder]

If we win only one game please let it be Geelong!

[Flamethrower]

To be honest, unless something dramatic happens, struggle to see us winning any.

[Eastdog]

If we win only one game please let it be Geelong!

Hopefully we can beat them finally but the way we are going it looks likely the drought will continue. We haven't beaten them since 2009 (9 years this year :()

North ain't that good. Stop Brown and they don't have a lot of avenues to goal. Beat them twice, Saints & Carlton gets us to 8 wins

[merantau]

At this stage I can only see another 2 wins for sure. 3 is possible, 4 is improbable, 5 would be miraculous, 6 other worldly, 7 beyond imagining, 8 an indication that the proposer is taking mind-altering substances. Any figure beyond 9 and it's time to call in the white coats complete with straight jacket.

[Eastdog]

Win 11 of 11 so all our games would put us on 15 wins :)

[LostDoggy]

I reckon we'll win 2-3 of those to finish with 6-7 wins and finish about where we are now. If we can gather some spirit and momentum we could win a couple of extra, although finishing a couple of spots higher on the ladder is really only counterproductive.

Well thats gone after tonight. We have a tough lot of games coming up and really on our current form and injuries we have chances for wins against the Saints and Blues (They will look at us as a chance as well against us). The good news is that the draft will be strong this year.

Thank f@&$&k we don’t play Essendon again. That would hurt me.

How the hell do we play Melbourne again after 5 weeks or so

[Eastdog]

How the hell do we play Melbourne again after 5 weeks or so

I think in the past Rounds 16-22 we would play the teams we played in Rounds 1-7. Playing them after we have just played them.

[Pickenitup]

Reckon we can win 4 think we will beat North once Blues and Saints and in Ballarat we can beat Port
