The Month Ahead

[Hamingja]

The riff raff of the competition have been accounted for.

Time to weigh and measure us against the rest.

Brisbane (Gabba)
Carlton (MCG)
Melbourne (MCG)
Port (Geelong)

Big month of footy. Even 2-2 would put us in a good position to launch at top 4 over the back half of the season.

 

[PzBlinky]

I reckon we go at least 2-2. Carlton and Melbourne look vulnerable, and I"d give us a 50/50 chance against Port at home with a fit Danger and Rowan (and maybe Guthrie) back.

Guthrie is miles off, I'd think. He hasn't played a game at any level in what, nearly a year?

 

[Jimmy Yamazaki]

I hope we beat Carlton, but I reckon we'll lose that and the Lions game but win vs Dees and Port.

So 2-2.

 

[Strange Cat]

3-1 or 2-2 would be my guess

4-0 would be something but some hard games coming up

 

[Romeoh1]

Pretty decent chance to go 4-0- our favour. 3-1 at worst!

Agree, you beat me to it.

 

[PzBlinky]

Yeah, fair call. I'd expect him to play a couple of weeks in the VFL - though you never know with Scotty. Still, I like our chances against Port at home, even with him out. The Paer are playing well but beatable.

 

[STPer18]

4-0!

 

[allrighty]

4-0!

Uh ... 5-0???

 

[Commando]

2-2 is a break even

Can see us being in every game at least

 

[calder_daddy]

The next 2 weeks are important to see how we go.
We will cop Brisbane up there without Cameron “unless he gets off” and a very injured Neale, then Carlton with no Saad and no McGovern.
If we go 2-0 from this 2 I think we’re a massive chance of going 4-0

 

[Generalissimo]

What's this about Cameron?

 

[calder_daddy]

What's this about Cameron?

Charlie Cameron got suspended for a week
Not Jeremy

 

[you pick one]

What's this about Cameron?

Charlie.

 

[Generalissimo]

Oh good. I was worried they'd find something to pin on Jezza, like McKarcher's injury.

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

Charlie Cameron got suspended for a week
Not Jeremy

Wow, I didn’t think he would go for that. Are they appealing?
Massive out if he doesn’t play. Just about turns this game into a 50/50.

I doubt Neale would have play if it wasn't for the Lions 9 day break the Cats off 6 away.50/50 game.

Carlton we meet on equal terms 7 day break a piece at the G,I see us getting over the line in this one as you say no Saad or McGovern.

Melbourne Get the advantage of a 10 day break however a 7 day break to the Cats should be enough at the G.Cats in a close one.

Port off an 8 day break post the showdown helps them Cats off 6 days but back at home after a tough 3 week.50/50 but leaning towards the home side Cats in a thriller.

Cats 3-4

 

[dangerwood]

Could be a sneaky chance against Brisbane, Dunkley and Neale a worry but if C.Cameron is out that takes a lot of pressure off the backline.

Carlton should be the toughest opponent, their midfield plus Curnow and McKay up forward should be close to unstoppable but I'm still not convinced Voss can coach. Think we're a chance.

If we're any good we should beat Port at home.

Melbourne 50/50.

I'd take losses to Brisbane and Carlton, beat Port and hopefully beat Melbourne. 2-2

 

[calder_daddy]

I always thought he would go for it.
Sling tackle, pinned arm and Levers head hit the ground.

I just hope he doesn’t get off, it’s massive for us not having to deal with him

 

[Pure_Ownage]

I think we will beat carlton and port and lose the other 2 but not confident on any of them.

4-0 almost locks in top 2 for us from here.
0-4 makes top 4 not likely.
2-2 is acceptable.

Post the bye our draw opens up (the last 6 weeks before finals are friendly) so we just need to get as many wins as we can for now.

 

[Johanpetro]

Am I wrong or are McGovern and Saad out with hamstrings as well? Because that’s massive for us

 

[calder_daddy]

Correct and Salem will still be out when we face Melbourne also

 

[supahoops]

Going 7-2 would be enough for me. Having said that, should get the job done against Carlton and Poort. Brisbane a sneaky chance at decent odds, Melbourne might be a bridge too far..

I’d prefer and say we’re a better than than beating Melbourne than Carlton and PA
Melbourne are far from convincing atm
