If we can't beat half of those sides, then we don't deserve to make it. Pretty simple.I just did a really negative ladder predictor with us losing to:
North Melbourne
West Coast
Port Adelaide
Essendon
Collingwood
Geelong
We pretty much have to win 2-3 of these to get into the top 8.
With us tiering out it could really go that negative way... but perhaps if we get a bit of luck we can get on a run and win a few of these 50/50s. Not saying that Essendon are as good as us but when you look at how young our team is... we are likely to bring ourselves down to the level of other teams due to us just not being able to stick at it as the season progresses.
I hope I am and wrong but we need to factor this into our expectations of where we will finish.
Yes at our best we are damn good and can match it with most the competition out our best.. but history says young teams seem to tire out.
Lets hope we are the outlier!
Yeah. I agree. But I feel that's our finals chances in a nutshell and speaking more from a hopeful fan who wants to see their team play finals again! The excitement of 08/09 doesn't feel that long ago.If we can't beat half of those sides, then we don't deserve to make it. Pretty simple.
