Prediction Fixture out, how many do we win?

[James1970]

Our first 'gimme' is Round 12 - oh, it's going to be fun in these traps next year.

Picked 12 wins, finishing in 8th on %. Win the first final, then look out!

Not sure where the Adelaide and Collingwood worry comes from. The Pies have been gutted and Adelaide are bog ordindary with the restricted drafting they've had to endure. I think we can win at least three of those matches.

North are better than the Pies and Crows but if the injury gods are smiling on us we go at least fifty-fift there. The Hawks own us at the moment so that is a couple of losses I reckon but I'd back us against Sydney at home, but not away.

I reckon 5-8 for us this year and voted for 14 wins.

What's hard to know at this point is what impact Clark will have on our forward line. The 2014 season I think I read we averaged 65x i50's a game (sorry if I'm wrong) and so given that much entry and a couple of better targets in 2015 then it may make a big difference in how we go, even over more fancied opposition. I went for 14 wins at this stage, but all we have to judge on is 2014 season form and come march next year that will probably mean nothing.

I have the Bye penciled in as our only loss.

Total = 15W, 7L (wins bolded)

I expect a year similar to this one in which we challenge, but win a number of games unconvincingly and fall short against the best sides (Hawks, Swans, Port). May also win some games we're not expected to and drop a few we shouldn't (ala 2013) - this routinely occurs with sides in transition.

Draw also relents somewhat in the latter half of the season, so we may lose some early before coming home with a wet sail.

7-1 at home GC roll us & 1-4 interstate (8-5)

 

[hamG]

6 of our first 7 games against 4 contenders and the 2 teams most likely to make the 8 after missing this year (Richmond & GC). If we come out of that 4-3 I'll be happy.

 

[Stig_90]

Two trips to Adelaide and Sydney is a little strange. Four Sunday afternoon games at SS too. Did we even have one last season?

The one I'm looking forward to the most is the night game down in Geelong against the Swans. Only night game down there for the year which is also strange. Hopefully Buddy is playing.

Back from your ban I see

Back from your ban I see

I was back from that 2 weeks ago I just don't give a crap anymore, thanks for noticing me qt.

 

[Lana]

Next year is going to hurt, our start is particularly harsh. If we are 2-2 after the first four rounds, I'll be happy. Next year is going to be like St Kilda 2011, if we win the close games we'll make the finals. It's not going to be a fun year.

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

We'll win enough to qualify for the finals again. 8 games at KP will result in 8 wins, but it'll come down to how we fare interstate which will deem whether we finish top 4 again.

16 wins for me, the tough draw is vastly exaggerated.
