6 Wins 1 Draw 4 Losses
Suns (H) Important that we make a good start at home as we haven't been too flash on the wide expanses we once ruled, need to get the run and carry and minimise turnovers against this young and emerging side that will not be a pushover by any means
Saints (A) We are a much better side than the Saints, yet we thought that against Carlton didn't we? Seriously our midfield should win out and if we can hit our targets I cant see why we shouldn't be a good chance
Freo (Draw) I am calling this a draw, we should be sick and tired of Freo having our measure and produce a special effort that will take it right up to them but some drama in a tight finish with scores level after the final siren
Sydney (H) If we do not play our best game of the year we won't trouble the Swans, regardless of where we are playing
Lions (A) No excuses for not picking up the 4 points on footy's longest roadtrip
Tigers (H) A bogey side of the past I can see us put end to that and come out on top
Adelaide (A) Crows should be 2 or 3 goals too strong in Adelaide
Pies (H) Collingwood in a thriller
Essendon (A) I see this as a 50/50 game but lean towards us especially with one less quality mid to worry about
Melbourne (H) We will expect a more competitive Melbourne outfit but must avoid them dictating the flow of the game and get our run and carry going and not look back
Suns (A) another 50/50 with the Suns getting up but lets hope not
We haven't had an official draw in ages, 2nd longest drought of all the established teams (ie excluding GWS/GC who have both never had a draw)
http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/fun-facts-about-drawn-games.643786/. Debatable re: whether the 07 final against collingwood should count as a draw since scores were tied at the end of normal time. I want to forget what happened after that

....
If we have a draw I think it's more likely to be against Collingwood.
1. Delusional but I can see it mathematically prediction

- 10-1
Wins-10
Suns (to start the ball rolling, plus we have never lost to them

).
Saints,
Freo (overdue, very close earlier in the season),
Lions(overdue and they'll have a heap out),
Tigers (ok they beat us last year but they're playing worse than last year),
Adelaide (shame we're not playing them here, we beat them away last year and neither of us have improved from last year),
Pies (very overdue, came close earlier in the year and beat them at subi last time we played here),
Essendon (good time of year to be playing them plus this remains our most recent good win),
Melbourne ,
Suns (if we've won all the other ones, this will be no biggie

)
Losses- 1- Swans. Our biggest bogie team ever. Records against Collingwood/Freo/Essendon are nothing compared to this. Doesn't matter where we play them either as we've had more home than away games against them in recent times. The only game other than Geelong at skilled that I'd written off preseason. I may have changed my mind temporarily after they lost to GWS, but now, fresh from the Geelong thrashing (that was one scary performance), I cannot see us winning under any circumstances.
2. Realistic Prediction 5-6
Wins- Suns home, Saints, Lions, Tigers, Melbourne . ie win all the games we start favourites in, lose all the rest
3. Pessimistic Predictions 1-10
Melbourne game to be our only win. And that's it.
The worst part is that 3. seems way more likely than 1. at the moment.
