Opinion How many wins in 2013?

I will take whatever the media predicts and add nine.

So looking at about 19 I would say.

12+ for the coach to remain

13+ for a solid season

13+ a finals win for a successful season

I see us winning 25, this will be a soft year if Collingwood get hurt like last year.

If we can end up with more scoreboard points than our opposition at the end of each game then there is no reason why we should not win them all.

I don't think I truly grasp your plan, but send it to Bon and see what he thinks?

Yes a word seldom used but one that fits BF nicely. I agree it doesn't matter what pick we use but bragging rights do play a part in certain types online persona.
haha we got player xxxx for pick 16 suck my ball etc, type thingy. Whereas if we're forced to use pick 4-5 on player xxxx it losses a certain amount of "eat shit suckers"

not necessarily,essendon had to use their pick 10 for daniher,melbourne only had to use their pick 27 for viney,and used pick 4 for toumpas

My predicitons

WIN Round 1 v Collingwood - home at Docklands
WIN Round 2 v Geelong - away at Docklands
LOSS Round 3 v Sydney - home at Bellerive
WIN Round 4 v Brisbane - home at Docklands
LOSS Round 5 v Hawthorn - away at MCG
WIN Round 6 v Port Adelaide - home at Bellerive
WIN Round 7 v Western Bulldongs - away at Docklands
WIN Round 8 v West Coast - away at Subiaco
WIN Round 9 v Adelaide - home at Docklands
WIN Round 10 v St Kilda - home at Docklands
WIN Round 11 v Gold Coast - away at Metricon
Round 12 - Bye
LOSS Round 13 v Fremantle - away at Subiaco
WIN Round 14 v GWS - home at Docklands
WIN Round 15 v Richmond - home at Docklands
WIN Round 16 v Brisbane - away at the Gabba
WIN Round 17 v Carlton - home at Docklands
WIN Round 18 v Melbourne - home at Docklands
WIN Round 19 v Geelong - home at Docklands
LOSS Round 20 v Adelaide - away at AAMI
WIN Round 21 v Essendon - away at Docklands
LOSS Round 22 v Hawthorn - home at Docklands
LOSS Round 23 v Collingwood - away at MCG


16 WINS 6 LOSSES HEALTHY %
IF WE FIND A WAY TO BEAT DAWKS, THEN GRASP ONE HAND ON THE CUP

Agree with most of that, besides West Coast in Subiaco which I think we are more a chance of losing.

I have us on 15 wins if all things go to plan, but as we all know every season has its unexpected wins and unexpected losses. In my opinion these will cancel eachother out across the board of a whole season. But for realism's sake, lets give or take a few wins and losses.

So overall I think we will win anywhere from 14-16 games in 2013. Start of season is crucial, I think we can go 3 and 2 but 2-3 will be the pass mark and from then on we get a few easier games against weaker opposition.

Should suit Bon fine as this plan doesn't require a plan B

Nah, I just think we play in West Coast very well, We can win it. But yeah, there will be games either way that we will loose and win, where the opposite result was pending. I'd be happy with 14 wins and a finals apperance and winning the first week of finals.

Might seem far fetched, but this is my guess.
Bolded are wins.

Losing to the GC? I hope it is a cold day in hell then, because that is what will be needed for us to lose to them imho.

A finals appearance in 2013 would be bloody fantastic.

Not really, they have usually been competitive with us.
I think Gold Coast will be hard to beat at Metricon next year. (And we will have a down game)

Less than 13 will have to be judged as a failure.

You might be right. But if we have dropped the first 5 and the last 2 then im not going to be doing cartwheels if we end up on 13.

15 games and finals wins

Forgive my ignorance & I've obviously missed it somewhere along the way, but why is his nickname Silver?

In regards to the OP, with our natural development & 'hunger' after tasting finals but being dumped out, I see us with a 15-7 record come finals time.

He has a grey/silver spot on the side of his noggin.

Pat Rafter.

Not enough.

Still not focused on 'x' wins as such, just wanna stop getting smashed by 15 goals. I want a decent % for a change.

In saying that I can see twelve wins and then we could steal 2-3 more.

25 wins 0 loses and my signiture says it all

Im in the 13- 15 games mark......this year
