"We are still waiting on some of the final details regarding tickets from Port Adelaide at this stage.

This means the email with the information wont be sent to members until early next week."

10 is garrunteed 9 and good percentage is minimum.

I'm not sure if 9 wins guarantees you a spot in the finals either. I reckon we'd have to have a very good percentage as well.

Any word on when we expect to hear this announced?

Swans

Bombers

All four in QLD. All winnable.

 

[BrutThough]

This will be a very telling block of games.

No reason why we can't win all those matches ups but those are the games which challenge us the most.

Currently sit 4-4. We must got 3-2 over these next 5 games to break even in expectation.

Anything less is a fail. Anything more would be appreciated.

 

[StCicatriz]

it's important we win against swans and GC. if we drop either, it's season over.

say we lose against port but win against GC and Sydney that gives us 6 wins from 10 games. keeps us in contention.

we will need to find an upset or two against some top 8 sides to be safe.

Those two are non-negotiable. We must win them.

And I'd like to think we could pinch one of Essendon or Geelong.

 

[bird_man]

If we beat every team currently outside the 8 and lose to every side currently in the 8, we finish 9-8

That would probably mean we are relying on our percentage

Few tough teams outside the 8 though, fee teams we could beat inside.

given gold coast, geelong, essendon are on the same points as us, its an 8 point game against all three. win against all of them and it's a massive leg up.


knowing us though we shit the bed against sydney

 

[12Chill]

Pretty confident in handling Syd, Gold Coast and we should be very competitive against Essendon.

Come off a day less break on a very quick turn around to face Geelong so not super confident on that one.

I’m not expecting a win against Port but let’s hope we show a strong performance.

7-5 after this block please Sainters.

 

[CarnTheSAINTERS]

[The Jack]

knowing us though we sh*t the bed against sydney

Im fully expected Buddy to make a miraculous recovery in time to play us and kick 8.

 

[bird_man]

Being a young side we should be better suited to the shorter breaks than most.

Sides like Geelong might really struggle.

 

[BrutThough]

The last time we played at the Gabba was 2015.

Only three players who played that day featured last night - Billings, Geary and Lonie.

Tough run home. Need to get to 7-5 beforehand

A win against Port will set us up.
Big game this weekend for team mojo...
