Yeh I’m talking a full wipe out of injuries like our run home last year losing 3 key players
Average injuries we seem to have reasonable coverage.
It’s the intensity that we go into the game with that’s going to matter the most .
Need to demoralise those entitled pansy flogs.
Not sure we'll ever get the opportunity like this home stretch again. Next year we'll get North in Bunbury with at least one away game either side. A month long block of home games is Victorian team stuff.

3/3 and then drop one of the following two, so 4/5 is my guess.
The bye really has come at a crap time, we've been playing great footy

Wombat at full back isn’t gonna get the job done no matter how much intensity he applies.
There’s a breaking point that a team can’t get past sometimes , with injuries.
I’m confident we will sit 12 & 5.

Love your optimism Fred and agree wholeheartedly.
Well, well well. Almost every result this weekend was in our favour. A big month of football wins and it would a Dockerian effort to miss finals from there. But we can do it. That is both, miss or make finals.
I’m saying the latter.
But remember the saying ‘curiosity killed the cat, expectation killed the Docker’.
Wise words.

I think we will win all three by a combined total of 143
Don't care how we win on the weekend.
It doesn't need to be some great performance or a win that we would say in seasons passed is a "Percentage Booster". Just get the job done and secure the 4 points. All three of these upcoming home games are must wins. 10-5 is the platform we need to launch from if we aim to have a serious finals campaign.
3 home games in a row against average sides. Lets show some growth by not dropping the ball after the bye or fumbling at home against these kind of sides. Live up to expectations for once.
I am still looking at this 3 game block as 1 almost, and an opportunity to improve and build momentum. Win clean or win dirty - it's all about that 10-5. If we don't have it, seasons' over.

If we are worth our salt we should be winning these next 3 comfortably, however I can accept meh performances as long as we go 3 from 3.
Do that and suddenly we’ve won 6 in a row and who knows what can happen from there. I do have an ominous feeling we’ll drop one of these games though which would be on par for us. Wouldn’t be surprised if we lose to North but beat Essendon and St Kilda.
After that we’ve got Sydney at the SCG and Hawthorn at home, both winnable but who knows what either of those teams will dish up.
These next 5 games but especially these next 3 are the crucial launchpad to how the rest of our season plays out. We win all 5 which is a possibility and we will be 12-5 which almost guarantees finals. Will we live up to the expectations or fall flat as we usually do?

Just quoting myself from the other day.
I thought I was psychotic after some games this season, but I can't believe people are actually upset over this win.
a) Media Puff Pieces
b) Bottom 4 Side
c) "Home"
d) Post-Bye
e) 1 goal margin
then
f) UNCHANGED (Imagine this talking point if we lost)
The ultimate recipe for Dockery.
I enjoyed the win and you mob should too. This home block is more than just this game, so lets get it.

strike one

Agreed, but the margin is now a bit of a challenge.
A bit of a challenge... about time we had a 100 point win.
strike two!
just 95 to go!
Sorry Ross.
100 points would be a bit of a stretch... 95 seems far more doable

I think this goes to show how tight the final race is.
14 wins (and poor percentage) may not be enough to make the 8, but 15 wins with a good percentage may get you top 4.
We can't afford to drop 1 game we are expected to win, if we are to make finals.
Hawks at home, Sydney Away and Port Away (we have not won at Adelaide oval vs Port ever) are all key games.
R16: St Kilda, PS (W)
R17: Sydney, SCG (L)
R18: Hawthorn, PS (W)
R19: Collingwood, MCG (L)
R20: West Coast, PS (W)
R21: Carlton, PS (W)
R22: Port Adelaide, AO (W)
R23: Brisbane Lions, PS (L)
R24: Western Bulldogs, Marvel (L)
PREDICTED FINISH: 9th (14-9)
