Simple question. How many wins should we realistically have in 2002 (H&A)
What is a reasonable figure for us.

I predict 18-4. The most losable games in my opinion, in order:
1. Round 3, Brisbane (up there)
2. Round 22, Carlton
3. Round 7, Carlton
4. Round 9, Sydney at Stadium Australia
5. Round 18, Brisbane
6. Round 12, Hawthorn
7. Round 19, Adelaide (at FP)
8. Round 5, Collingwood
I think we'll split with Carlton and Brisbane, and at least one of the other two losses will come interstate.
Good call stealthy.
I'm pretty confident about meeting the non-Victorian teams down here in Victoria (including Brisbane)
We seem to play well against Hawthron "generally speaking" and Richmond.
I'm sure there will be an unexpected loss against a "Melbourne, Kangaoros, or Western Bulldogs" type team, but I'd like to think we can win 17-18 games again.
I don't contemplate losing to Carlton. ;) Not an option!

I don't contemplate losing to Carlton.
I try not to, but the glass half-empty in me thinks it'll probably happen once. Even when they aren't having their best year they always manage to match up on us as good as anyone else. Records never mean much when rivals square off.
The second time is in Round 22, so if the fates of both clubs are already decided by then, the match might not matter too much.
I went to the first loss last year. That was embarrassing.

There is no way in hell that I am going to see Brisbane beat Essendon at the Gabba AGAIN. Last year was bad enough, with all those one-eyed Lions supporters crapping on how "Beating Essendon was the best game of the year" etc.. :mad: :mad:
I won't let that happen, I can't let that happen, and I won't let that happen!

I've decided on 2. However, your poll doesn't allow me to vote for this option:confused: ;)
