Next 5 games - How many wins are you expecting

[Rob]

Unless you've just become a fan in the last fortnight, there us no possible way that you can expect to win of any of them. Hopeful maybe.

Honestly, we could get rolled by Norf and our melts thread would get a workout but you stil wouldn't be shocked by it.

 

[oldgoat]

one day at a time...

makes eleven!
We can win them all.

 

[oldgoat]

ever?

well hardly ever!

Still on the edge of finals.

AFL Projected Ladder - Squiggle

squiggle.com.au

 

[EastcoastDocker]

first crack had a ladder of the top 9 teams vs each other. Dockers were 3rd with a 4-2 record.

Crows have a 1-4 record against the top 9 teams this year.

Should give freo a bit of hope about a good run post bye.

Lose the flakiness. Make a statement.

Tuned in to (Melbourne) radio ahead of the Gold Coast game, and one of the voices was saying that this is a club who struggles with expectations, and doesn't always win the games that they should win. Such is my mindset that I was suprised to hear he was talking about Gold Coast.

In that context, the only thing I can say for sure is that we won't win next weekend. When we come back after the bye, we should be capable of winning all 5. But my best guess is that we'll drop the Essendon game, get a rocket put up the team leading to a 10 goal pumping of St Kilda, scrape home against Sydney, then get blown out of the water by Hawthorn. (My prediction on the Hawthorn result is coloured by the fact I hate Hawthorn, so of course that'll be the one that we do worst in.)

 

[Cobbler]

Win 5.
8 in a row.
Turn up at MCG and beat the Pies.
9 in a row.
Derby the following week.
10 in a row.

 

[Hojuman]

Best thing about your next 5 weeks ?

Collingwood supporters complaining about the unfair advantage you gain by having 4 / 5 games at home in Perth !

Can't wait for it.

Yes, we are capable of that.

Thanks to you guys. Much appreciated

This has to be the goal! And should be the expectation.

Back to the no nonsense expectation of winning.

Then look forward to adding Young and Simpson back into the team... 10 in a row is the type of run that builds great belief.

It's a nice thought Posh, just not sure we're gunna see Scoop before the end of the season.

This Young recovery is dragging too, dammit.

& LJ, two of the most damaging players in the comp, anything is possible.
With the grunt of Brayshaw, Serong & Treacy look the **** out

 

[Gimme the Fyfe]

Oh man.. Expectations here are bad juju.

I implore everyone to refrain from expectations. By doing so, we muster up some compounded good juju in the ether.

 

[freo84]

Nothing we say in here affects team performances.

If we continue to play the way we have then We will win all 5.

In a silly sort of way at least losses against Swans, Melbourne and Saints shouldn’t impact the 8 as much.

If we had of beaten Swans and Melbourne but lost to GWS and say Dogs, you could argue we’d be worse off.

If were to drop one of our next 3, North would be the best one to drop. Must put more gap between us and Essendon and Saints.

Hawks game much later could be crucial.

Lots of crystal balling but many of the teams around us play each other over next 3 weeks. So, winning will definitely allow us to leapfrog some teams that will inevitably have to drop 4 points.

 

[ImperialPurple]

I expect nothing but remain ever hopeful.

 

[Cesoir]

Bulldust! Whenever we start talking the team up they let us down. You're not going to try to pretend there's no causal relationship are you?

Quantum physics and AI and such.

This Young recovery is dragging too, dammit.

I thought Young was still within the initial timeframe? Not that those can always be trusted.

Scoop - Is that what they are calling him? I like it. I am hoping he will come back with a couple of rounds left. Will keep on hoping as I think he makes us very hard to match up on.

I said in another thread that they are both in the ten most damaging players in the comp. How ridiculous that they are both playing for us!

Brayshaw has gone up a level this year. Is physically more imposing to go with everything else he brings!

Yeah mate I still see Hayden at 8-9 weeks, unless you've heard or seen something different.

 

[Joose]

Should win all 5 but when you take into consideration the Dockery factor - I reckon we will win 3.
