How many matches will the Giants win this season?

For all of Greater Western Sydney's on-field improvement this year, it could be a while yet before it wins its first game, as it takes on a powerful Essendon side on Saturday.
After missing opportunities against St Kilda, Melbourne and Gold Coast to open its account, GWS must wait until round 15 before it faces another club, the Western Bulldogs, that is considered a bottom-four contender.
Despite the Giants' start to the season, there are indications they have taken decent strides forward.
They have lowered their average losing margin from 71 points to 49. They have also scored triple figures twice this campaign, as opposed to once in 2012.

''If you look at that as a measure we're far ahead of where we were,'' Giants skipper Phil Davis said.
''We're averaging 86 points a game, which is about 20 more than this time last year.
''All the offensive sides of the game are vastly improved.''
The Giants have also markedly improved their work around clearances, from a differential last year of -2.3 to +11, placing them eighth.
Their defence, however, is a concern. They are conceding nine more points per game.
''Your defence is just so important; that's one area we continually work on,'' Davis said.

KEVIN Sheedy believes his Greater Western Sydney side will end the year showing significant improvement – even if it fails to win a single game.
The Giants have started their second year with six straight defeats, but the losing margins have been much less than during its debut season, when blowouts by 15 goals or more were commonplace.
GWS led table-toppers Essendon by 21 points at half-time on Saturday before succumbing by 39 points, a distinct improvement on an 11-goal defeat to the same side last season.
Just as before the year began, Sheedy's ambition remains to win more games than the two the club managed in 2012, and he believes a big scalp may not be too far away.
But even a winless campaign wouldn't be a disaster, according to the four-time premiership coach.

I think we will notch up 3 wins. One against the dogs, one against either Melbourne or Suns and upset against a team that is off its game. I love it to be more though.
