It seems you were 130 points off in your prediction.
The remaining draw:
Sydney away - 50/50
Brisbane home - win
Collingwood away - 50/50
St. Kilda away - on form a win
North Melbourne home - 50/50
Bulldogs away - 50/50
Carlton home - we seem to win home games at the MCG - win
Adelaide home - 50/50
Gold Coast away - 50/50
Fremantle home - 50/50?
We probably need to win 6 of the remaining games to make it.

pazza, you're better than this.
Don't stoop to the 12 year old level and try and predict games ten weeks in advance. It's hard enough this year given the evenness of the competition to get it right one week in advance. Destined for disaster once the long range forecasts start coming out.
All those games will present major challenges. One week at a time.
Haven't learned from history yet?
You'll no doubt be overwhelming favourites for that match. You should know what that entails. Carlton/Essendon games aren't always set in stone. To call it a "win" just means you haven't learned from history.

Yep..one week at a time and just happy our club is back to normal and we have a good coach that everyone is happy about.
And we have Andy McGrath running around chopping up. Life is good. This week.

I think we blues/dons fans agree our games against each other are the most anticipated clashes every season. Cause we hate each other's guts and it's fun to get that win.
But it's never a predictable outcome for either clubs. And it's been the case for over 30 years.

If they can keep the good form up, I think they're a certainty for a top 5-8 finish. They've done a lot better than I thought they would.

Bris. flog Freo, Carl defeat GWS, Ess beat Port by s**t loads and people still want to predict the future. When you get it right I only ask for 6 numbers.

When people on BigFooty predict results it doesn't actually affect results.
Or when you bold your posts.
Essendon seemed for a while to be one of a large bunch of unpredictable teams - a big win one week, and spanked the next.
However, the last five rounds have been interesting. Essendon has played five teams that are likely to play finals, for three wins (two big wins) and two dignified losses. This makes their current formline one of the best in the league. If they can maintain present form levels, they'll play finals and may go deep.

You just lost to brisbane in Melbourne. Nothing is 50/50 anymore. I can't believe out of all these games you lock in Carlton as a win after 1 losing to us last time and 2 you lost to brisbane In Melb. Lol.
Considering the state of their list, Essendon have done exceptionally well to be sitting in 11th place.

Unfortunately no mids.
Until we address the issue we will continue to tread waters.
Finals in 2027 more likely at this stage
Thus far, they've been able to mask this by generating attack from the half back line via the Irish bloke and McGrath - which has sort of slipped through everyone's guard.
If they get shutdown off half-back, it will hard for Essendon.

Its funny
Imagine we had of actually brought in a gun inside/outside midfielder for what he was worth. You know, not overpaying for the talent he is evaluated he has. And then, you know, managing him properly, only doing what ir right for the player, not trying to appease the fans and thus far ruining said player further.
We may have been far better off than we currently are
Instead, we are a mid short and kid in question spends more time off the field than a back up footy at a local footy match
