The Next 6 Weeks

[Midas]

We simply HAVE to beat the Tigers
It's our grand final

If that’s our GF give it away now.

 

[Zondor]

We are back in our safe place of 17th. Apparently the thought was it's ok to trade our first due to us rising up the ladder in 2025.
We have Brissy next, the Tigers have the Eagles.

The Tigers move onto 12 points next week.
The way I see it now, the winnable games are Rich X 2 and WCE x1.
Not suggesting we win them all . 4 wins is our maximum for the year.

As to what happens then, absolutely nothing. If BF is any sort of guide the masses are happy with the direction of the club.

As the Kurgan said it's better to burn out than fade away. We prefer the latter of course.

Yes the narrative pushed by some at the club was that not only they thought we were on the rise but this year’s draft pool ain’t much chop. But pick 2 is pick 2 and your chances of picking up another very good footballer is far higher than having Richmond’s future 2nd. Of all the idiotic trades that we have made this one takes the cake. :stern look

Yeah it's certainly up there, you'd have to laugh if the Tigers finished above us.
Luckily we know what we're doing. So no need to be concerned.

 

[Only Forwards]

What happens if we can’t k pick off the Tigers?

Nothing.

Us great unwashed, can do nothing but watch on and hope that some how the team defy everything we’ve currently seen and a miracle unfolds in front of us. Where starting this week we go on some crazy Leicester City type run.

Ps if we don’t beat Richmond, I’ll buy you a scotch.

Having Richmond's second round pick may force us to pick a key forward instead of another midfielder.

Brady is going cold turkey

 

[archereleven]

Brady is going cold turkey

Hopefully from his loungeroom

 

[Arathrawn]

Worst case scenario is we scrape by Richmond and WC, finish the year with 5 or 6 wins and a few more close losses.

The echos of wow the best last place team Eva with be heard again.

Then rinse and repeat for next year

 

[Possession]

Hopefully from his loungeroom

I fully agree, I just didn't want old mate to come in here and yell at me that Lmac and Brady are going nowhere and NMFC looks after mates etc

 

[Dinkers]

Having Richmond's second round pick may force us to pick a key forward instead of another midfielder.

Well we have Whitlock, W Dawson, Comben, as young developing talls. Adding another won't speed up the process any. Then there's Goad who's a ruck mid type.

Hopefully a small fwd is available with our first pick at around 25 .

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Failure is entrenched.

Going absolutely nowhere.

Our 2nd and Richmond's 2nd will be close to one another. I'd be hoping we move it into the first round for a team that needs points or (radical suggestion incoming) we move around to pick up two small forwards.

 

[hilly]

My worst-case is we finish 1-22.

 

[Colby2Sheez]

Dinkers the Tigers have us and WCE twice to come.

We have Tigers twice and WCE once to come.

Considering they already have one more win, it's very possible they finish above us and we finish 17th unless we can get a win or two elsewhere. (Melbourne very possible again)

 

[Ball Dont Lie]

No way we finish ahead of the tigers. At best we go 3/20 like last year. It’s as bleak as it’s ever been sadly.

 

[Colby2Sheez]

No way we finish ahead of the tigers. At best we go 3/20 like last year. It’s as bleak as it’s ever been sadly.

I think we can beat the Tigers and WCE which is 4 wins minimum.

That means Tigers also finish on 4 wins and our % is better.

Either way yep it's extremely bleak, and the absolutely absurd trade gives the Tigers 3 not 2 so who cares..........

 

[Arathrawn]

My worst-case is we finish 1-22.

That would compel the club to make some changes. Hopefully, starting with Brady.

 

[archereleven]

Imo, we'll pull a win out of our arse other than WC, Rich or Melb. Maybe a Freo, Syd or Adelaide win against the odds.

Worst case 1-22, best case 6-17

He stole that line from someone else.

We could definitely beat Freo as they can't score.

 

[TheKanga]

Clarko would be on thin ice.

 

[TheKanga]

Had a weird dream that we were playing Collingwood and we were leading by 70pts at half time.

Early in the 3rd Zurhaar takes a specky in front of goal that would of put us up over 80pts.
However he kicks it out on the full.

By the end of the 3rd Collingwood only trail by 7pts.

We end up losing the game by 70pts.
Woke up thinking I could see North doing this

Didn't that happen last year?

 

[TheKanga]

Didn't that happen last year?

Pretty much except we only lost by 1pt
I was pissed about that game for weeks.

 

[Zondor]

Well we were close to snaring our 2nd Win for the season but once again a lack of polish cost us. At least we are ever so marginally ahead of where I thought we would be coming into the Richmond game. :stern look

It has to be said that the last 3 weeks have been a step in the right direction. We have been a hell of a lot better defensively. We need this to continue. We will give ourselves a greater chance to win games by minimising the opposition’s scoring opportunities. :stern look

It’s a big game against Richmond. We need to win this game. No excuses. We simply must win. Otherwise we will entrench ourselves in the bottom 2. And I don’t think that’s very fair. :stern look
