The Next Four

[dajesmac]

Port Adelaide @ Home
GWS @ Away
Richmond @ Home
Hawthorn @ Away

This is the toughest block of four out of our whole fixture. 0-4 is scarily possibly, 1-3 more likely. Halving it 2-2 would be a brilliant result.

Discuss.

Port - Certain win
GWS - 50/50
Richmond - 85% sure we will win (basing that on their track record outside the MCG)
Hawthorn - Win (we play Etihad pretty well, should beat them)

Bit optimistic, but 3-1 is a real possibility.

 

[Crimson King]

Will defo take 2-2 but surely we are due to break our Hawks away game hodoo.

 

[Jootube]

Richmond are deceptively good in Perth. 2-2 would be a win for mine.

 

[Altum Volantes]

Would be happy to with 2-2 - would be a good result.

What I’d like more than anything though is 4 really good performances, no thrashings or no-shows.

We’ll learn more about the team in the next 4 weeks than the first 6 that’s for sure.

Go 2 and 2 and we are 7-3, would have taken that in a canter.

 

[Rowan18]

1-3 I'll accept, 2-2 and I'll lock us in for finals, 3+ and I'll start dreaming of top 4. I am expecting 2-2, beat port and richmond.

 

[KERRPOW]

2-2 should be the bare minimum.

Why not push for 3-1

 

[daddy_4_eyes]

2-2 should be the bare minimum.

Why not push for 3-1

Why settle for 3-1 when we can have 4-0.

 

[kerr87]

I won't take anything less than 5-0.

 

[Biggie]

Heads says 2-2

• Port - Win
• GWS - Loss
• Rich - Win
• Hawks - Loss

Heart says 4-0

Hawks at Etihad we should win. We have a great record there - our poor record v Hawks was at the MCG when they were winning flags.

I think we're a good chance for 3—1, but would be ok with 2-2.

The mighty squiggle https://live.squiggle.com.au/# has:

Eagles 81 - Port 79

GWS 93 - Eagles 70

West Coast 71 - Richmond 91

Hawthorn 87 - West Coast 80


Here is it's final ladder projection:




And it's summary of likelihood of finishing positions:

No flat tracks until the Saints in Rd 11. After the bye is also a very tough run of 5 games, given that Essendon are always competitive against us. Not an easy road to top 4 from here. Any win we can pinch will go a long way.

 

[Moley27]

Win the home games, lose the away. Happy with 2-2 out of those four then build from there

If we have another elimination final against Port I'm definitely going this time!

 

[Beutbrute]

I feel 1-3 is the most likely outcome.
Would be happy with 2 or more wins

 

[Doashuey]

Genuine chance of 4-0 but I expect 2-2. GWS are going pretty ordinary at the moment and I reckon we will beat them. I think Hawks and Tigs will be the toughest games for us.

WTF is that? Looks like someone has fed their dog 18 club fridge magnets and a tin of laxatives and photographed the result.

****er is on drugs.

Haha yep it's pretty full on. I like it though. It gets better as the season goes on. Gives a decent indication of where we might finish, although at this stage a table with %s is probably easier to read.

 

[Hap Hapablap]

Port Adelaide @ Home - win
GWS @ Away 50/50 not as strong as they have been in the past and yet we have kept up. further more no ruckman on the GWS end.
Richmond @ Home win i dont see anyone beating us on our turf this season
Hawthorn @ Away 50/50 - hawthorn is very jerkyll and hyde atm. if we go in with the same shitty approach as per the last few seasons well get burnt. if not we should win as it is at etihad. also hawthorn is both an up and down team

I'll give it 2-2. not too bad. but builds a huge platform for the rest of the season. if we win all 4. id lock us in the top 4.

 

[Hap Hapablap]

btw that squiggle thing is ****en junk.

 

[woosha24]

Richmond @ Home win i dont see anyone beating us on our turf this season

Im afraid I have some bad news.....

For what its worth I feel we can knock off Port and GWS if we play at our best. Richmond will do us I fear and the Hawks just never say die.

Point out to me a decent opponent richmond have beaten away from the mcg in the past two years.

The best they have managed is port last year and we beat them away twice.

Richmond - like most teams arent much cop away from their safe place.

True, but I just feel that their frenetic pressure will get us.
