2016 Win wish list

[Dr Whoooooooo]

I dont give a damn who the opposition is and where we have to play them ... I would be very, very happy with 12 wins.

Go Dees

 

[Theseventhhamster]

20 goal win against the Hawks.

 

[Benwah83]

Would love to win a game in Perth.
And North. At my last job I worked there for five years and not once could I gloat over my North-supporting boss.

I'll take this as my order too, thanks.

 

[KickLongTackleHard]

Would love a 100pt win

Would probaby prefer a < 1 goal win against a quality side or bogey side (North, Saints, WA side) onmy wish list. Just me though.

 

[Proper Gander]

I feel a bit sick reading this thread. We have to have an okay year surely? I've spent so much time contemplating it that we HAVE to, or I will set fire to my legs.

 

[Pipefitter]

My one wish came true last year (winning in geelong).

I'm going to be greedy this year and ask for wins against both norf and the saints. Our winless streak against these two mediocre sides is pathetic.

 

[Topkent]

Much prefer a less than 1 goal win against a Collingwood, Hawthorn or North than a 100 point flogging against a crap side

Those are the games you remember

 

[TheCount]

Just the 22 games + 2 Finals and 1 GF will be fine ...

Looking at our draw ...
Should Win
GWS (MCG)
Essendon
St Kilda
Brisbane (MCG)
Adelaide (MCG)
St Kilda
Gold Coast (MCG)
Carlton

Teams that are below us, or second tier interstate teams at home

Could Win
North
Collingwood
Richmond
Gold Coast (MS)
Bulldogs (MCG)
Port (Alice)
Collingwood (QB)
Port (AO)
Geelong (Kadinia)

Most we've proven we can beat, we seem to match up well with Port, tho Norf is probably a bit of a pipe dream ...

Seems very unlikely
Hawthorn
Sydney (SCG)
Freo (Darwin)
West Coast
Hawthorn

Just don't see any of these happening ...

So with all of the Should's, 4/9 of the Could's, we'll end up with 12 wins. Happy to hear any spirited debates on the 3 columns ...

We'll still lose at least a couple of the first lot of games, also think picking off 4 of the next lot is going to be tough. Would be happy to jag one out of the last five. Think we're looking at 8 to 10 wins unless we take a giant leap forward.

Well yeah, at this stage of the year its a bit of a exercise in futility isn't it. From what's been stated, there are 18 teams having their best preseason ever, ready to take a step forward in development/break into the top 8/win a premiership, and you've no idea who is accurate about it until about mid season. For every team taking their predicted trajectory of improvement, there is a Bulldogs taking a giant leap and head, and a Port taking a sharp downward turn.

Midseason, those 3 categories could look vastly different for one reason or another, but I'm dying for something footy related, so why not see how they look now!

 

[Cannon82]

From what's been stated, there are 18 teams having their best preseason ever

17 teams and Carlton.

 

[LeverPuller]

17 teams and Carlton.

I wouldn't say that Essendon are having the best preseason ever

 

[ManWithNoName]

I wouldn't say that Essendon are having the best preseason ever

I've seen a fair few and I'd probably go as far as saying I wouldn't put it in the top 10.

 

[swishy]

ladbrokes has all the odds out for every round and we are only favourites in 2 games (Brisbane and Carlton at home). Should be 3 but the odds against essendon aren't out yet.

True, I'm looking at the silver lining. Don't often get the chance to turf Myers, Hocking, Bellchambers and Pears for Kelly, Stokes, Jamar, etc. Will probably miss that Heppell fella a bit though.

Certain Brownlow medalist* too.

Punters don't trust us though.

Won't be missed, I hear the last two top up players will be Cousins and Goodes.

 

[TheCount]

Punters don't trust us though.

Funnily enough, our over/under wins is 7, and over is shorter. Bit of money to be made if you were to get on us early, given we'll come in a fair bit with a hopefully successful start

Dr whooo rates it

 

[saj_21]

10 wins minimum, including Norf, bombers, Saints, Tigers and Pies.

 

[Headless]

Either of the St. Kilda games would be swell.

EDIT: The last time we beat them was my avatar.

Does that mean when we beat them this year you'll update?

 

[Headless]

Does that mean when we beat them this year you'll update?

I just simply couldn't do that.

(Maybe.)

 

[Fitzey]

A 10 goal win over NORF in Hobart would be supreme.

I think we can beat most teams however on our day, 10+ wins would be a pass.
