The run home

[pepsi]

As this weekend has shown us, who the bloody hell knows who is going to win the next game, let alone predict the results for the rest of the season.

Completing the ladder predictor does not mean much at this stage.

Can see us winning all remaining games. If we drop one it will be Richmond.

It also helps that we'll be coming off the long run like Shoaib Ahktar with the new pill via a 12 day break due to the split round.

If we can keep Buddy to less than 8 goals, we'll have a chance.

tippert as well, but hooker or hurley should have him covered

I'd call you crazy, but truth be told, I was more confident about Sydney than the Bulldogs today.

 

[dnbassador]

Seasons done imo play some more youth and see who can cut it

Wow what a turn around since this post let me try this trick again

We won't win the grand final!

Looks like we're heading up the slope...

 

[The Dustbin]

Bomber has said all season we will peaking in the second half of the year.

As long as we don't get smacked by Sydney we should be able to afford to drop another game and still make the 8(as long as it's not to the Suns), we need Port to do us a few favours and beat the Pies and Suns and hopefully Collingwood beat the Crows this week as I see Adelaide having more winning chances than them after this so be good to stay two games ahead of them. I also give Brisbane a sneaky chance at the GABBA to knock the Suns off and if this happens and Pies win it would almost guarantee us a spot. I am predicting 4 good wins for us which should have us playing North Melbourne at the MCG in an elimination final, a game I would be very confident in winning.

I look at this with a timeline of October through to September, and can think of only 1 team.

Richmond.

 

[daffo]

What are the odds of beating the swans then losing to the Tigers?

 

[BombaMan]

I Think our run home will be a great advantage to us, Richmond and Carlton will treat their game against us as "their" Grand Final so that will harden us for the actual finals. Also games against Gold Coast and The Swans will be good challenges. SO i think we have the potential to be a better team come finals.

The best part is that if we do make it, it will mean we have more than likely have won 7 out of the last 8 and 10 of 13, so we will be going in with really good form and choc full of confidence.

 

[Keystone agony]

How many do we need to win to make it? 3?

 

[Halftimehero]

How many do we need to win to make it? 3?

3 and we will be relying on % I would say, 4 and we are in.

 

[BombaMan]

3 but we would rely on % If we win 4 we have a strong chance to make it to 7th or even 6th depending on how well Adelaide and North Melb do.

 

[lysp]

3 and we will be relying on % I would say, 4 and we are in.

That was my calculations too (using the ladder predictor). I had us dropping 1 game (syd) and definitely making it in.

If we drop 2, then we rely on percentages, as there would be about 4 teams sitting on same number of wins with top 2 getting in.

Would love for us and North to finish 6th and 7th, would be super confident beating them.

Yeah seems that way, which is why we can't afford a big loss to the Swans.

[Pweter]

Yeah but it's missing the barnstorming run home to lift them to 9th which initiates the pre-trade week hype.

 

[lysp]

The percentage boost from pies helped a lot though - I wasn't expecting that.

Yeah definitely, don't wanna give it back against the Swans though.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Yeah definitely, don't wanna give it back against the Swans though.

We can sort of cope with a 4-6 goal loss, but no more. That said I can see Sydney dropping 1 coming home and this match actually is the most likely. Hannerberry and Shaw will be back then, but how fit will they be?

Yeah 4-6 goal loss wouldn't do much damage, as long as we hit the scoreboard a bit, definitely not disregarding us as a winning chance but I honestly believe if Sydney bring there A game then no side can get near them.

Oh I agree, that side is ridiculously good. I mean lets be honest here, any other side and Tom Mitchell aint playing in the NEAFL!
