22 wins

[PrideofSA]

I think that realisitically speaking Adelaide shold be aiming at winning all 22 matches this year. I know that it probably won't happen and that it is only rd 1. But having seen us over the preseason and rd 1, I think that we can beat every side wherever we go, and Brisbane should be the only team that we could have trouble with.

IF we don't win 16 of the 22 atleast then I think we have underachieved.

What are your thoughts?

Yeah I'd take 16 wins right now. Aiming for 22 is good, but don't expect it to happen.

Yeh obviously, but that is a realistic goal that they should aim for. Every week they should realistically be expecting to win, taking it 1 week at a time.

To win 22 would be awesome, but lets not count our chickens yet!

Ideally as long as we get in top 4, (and dont play an away final @ Gabba) it wouldnt hurt to lose a few during the year.

Make the top 4, then plan from there.

I would rather us win some 15 - 16 games during the regular season and win all of our finals.

What exactly does it mean if you win 22 games?????? I would hate to see us end up as port did last year where they were the best side during the minor rounds and bombed out in the finals.

As long as we get in top 4 and we go on from there, I'll be hapy. Its a long season and a lot of things can happent in the next 21 rounds. Heaven forbid a season ending injuries to couple of our stars

Exactly... 22 wins don't mean a thing if you lose 2 in September.

Give me the 16 wins anyday including Rounds 5,6,7,8, 15 20, 21 & 22

16 would be good....Pork supporters have often said we fluked 2 Premierships, it was even said on the main boards by "PORT POWER" just a few days ago.. guess they fluked the minor Premiership last year by bombing out as they did in the real stuff.

Getting to the finals and winning all 4 final matches, like Stiffy said, should be the top goal. Almost just as importantly, a top 4 possie would be invaluable of course. I'd say getting a decent run just before the finals is important too, say by winning rounds 18 - 22, if possible, would be of great benefit, just to get into the rhythm and swing of things during finals.

Everything else after that comes along should be a bonus. Personally, I wouldn't mind if we didn't beat Port this year, as long as we have THE FLAG!!! Of course it'd be nice to even the score up more, but thats irrelevant to me if we have what we really want.

Would be lovely but won't happen.

Let's not get too far ahead of ourselves. While I do think we can win 15 to 16 games this year, let's just thinking about beating the Saints this week.

You know the old cliche - worn out to buggery it is - just take it one week at a time!!!

Agree - lets say we should win more than we lose!!

I d say 18 wins would be more of a target suited to our ability. I doubt we will beat brisbane at the gabba though. (depending on our fitness and injuries)

Getting a bit ahead of ourselves are we?
Rule number 1. One week at a time.
Rule number two. Make the eight.

Exactly right!!!!!! And once you achive rule number 2 then if possible go to rule number 3.

Rule number 3: Make the top four

& the rule to break all rules is = bring the bloody flag back home to the AFC,

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Very unlikely given other quality sides in the competition that we would win every game. It is a very long season ahead & as has been mentioned we should be aiming for the finals, then the top-4 to ensure we are a shot at the flag. Looks good at the moment, but thing can turn quickly.

Maybe you should have told some of your own supporters that last July.

I'm not saying we wiill win 22 matches, but given the fact that this year we are either the best or 2nd best team, we should AIM to win every match. And in any given match that is a REALISTIC OPTION. However I strongly doubt that we will win all matches, but it should be an AIM, by taking 1 WEEK AT A TIME.

Some aren't actually listening to what i initially said.

err...most clubs try to win every game. Your not saying anything out of the ordinary by suggesting that you aim to win each match you play in.

To be honest I don't recall a thread quite like this one on the Port board.
AND it's only just round 1.

yeh but some clubs don't realistically have a chance of winning a match, take St Kilda vs Adelaide this week, Sti Kilda would be aiming to win, but it's just not gonna happen.
