Think we were worse at this point in 2012 myself. We are ahead of where I had us this year.
We've got two more games against current top four teams. We've got a game up in Metricon against Gold Coast in about a month, which will tell us a lot about just how good both teams are. We have three games remaining against North and Fremantle, two of them at Simonds and the other at Etihad. We have five games remaining at Simonds in total. We double-up against Carlton and Brisbane. We have only three interstate trips remaining, one of them against GWS. And eight of our remaining 14 games are against teams that are 11th or lower on the ladder. So we could lose every game against a team that's higher than 11th currently and still finish on 14 wins and a probable home elimination final. And I think we'll do a bit better than that.
16 wins should absolutely still be the goal. And 16 wins generally gets teams into the top four, particularly in a year where all of the top teams have either looked very vulnerable at times this year, or have yet to truly be tested.
