Where are we at?

[Smokin]

Our Run home from here:

Sydney away
Roos at TD
Geelong at TD
St. Kilda at TD
Adelaide away
Brisbane at TD
Melbourne at G
Carlton at G
Footscray at TD
Richmond at G
Freo at TD
Collingwood at G

Many winnable games. We have proven (at times) we are as good as anyone when we want to be. Just need to get a settled team together. Yesterdays game was of a very high standard.

Only two interstate trips from here. Our season isnt looking as bleak as once thought. I still think we can go very deep into September. The quality is there I have no doubt. Best part about it is this team is gonna get better in time, we aint on the traditional "slide". We have/are rebuilding, I dont think many other fans out there have noticed this.

The core of this team, Fletcher, Lloyd, JJ, MJ, Wellman, Lucas, Rioli, Rama, Solo, Jacobs, Cupido, McPhee, Hille etc are all gonna be around for a while yet. Hird will be nurtered another 2-3 years. The kids are the exciting part tho. A few are proving better than thought.

Consistancy is the key for us. Gotta close the gap between our best and worst.

I for one am definitely expecting top 8, top 6 isnt out of the question even with our ordinary start. Having said that we cant let our trend continue and put in a shocker this week. The rest of the season starts now! (funnily enuff! lol)

I agree with you that there are many winnable games coming up, but I have given up on trying to predict these. If we continue on with how we have been going, there are also many losable games coming up too.

If we can manage to get (and keep) most of our players on the track, and we play with the same heart and intensity that we did against WCE, then there is no reason why we couldn't win most of these games.

after sydney we will know. a win on the up, a loss a frustrating year.

The run home looks pretty good on paper - as long as we don't keep serving up this hot and cold **** - but seeing how the young blokes are going has been the best part, i just hope guys like cory, bullen, rfk and even teddy keep getting games.

I think 12 or 13 wins is very possible from that list, maybe 14. Brisbane and Adelaide are sure losses, but other than that there isn't a team there we can't beat.

Geelong, Melbourne, and Footscray are all probably wins, as long as the club is fit, focused, and prepared to play.

I think the return matches against Richmond and Carlton will go better than they did the first time.

That Round 22 Collingwood game could be one of the most hyped in years.

Sydney, North, and Freo are toss-ups. After yesterday I think we'll account for Freo over here. I think the Kangaroos will beat us though; we don't seem to match up well on them.

Sydney away - LOSS
Roos at TD - WIN
Geelong at TD - WIN
St. Kilda at TD - WIN
Adelaide away - LOSS
Brisbane at TD - LOSS
Melbourne at G - WIN
Carlton at G - WIN
Footscray at TD - WIN
Richmond at G - WIN
Freo at TD - WIN
Collingwood at G - WIN

That's my biased predictions. Worried about Roos and Woods. Sydney I'm unsure but the Swans would have to start favourites. IF my crystal ball is correct, then we would finish 14-8 which would be 4th - 6th you would think.
