Title: Will we get off to a flyer in the first 6 rounds?
Post by: one-eyed on January 14, 2024, 11:31:56 PM: So how many games do you think we will win in the first 6 rounds?

The HeraldSun has us going 3-3.

Post by: Gracie on January 15, 2024, 01:31:41 PM: Suns
Blues
Port
Swans
Saints
West Coast

Could win all 6 if we are truly injury free and everything goes well. Both Port and Swans are our home games

Post by: FooffooValve on January 15, 2024, 01:59:37 PM: How would we know? We might (probably will) be attempting to implement a new game plan. Might go well, might be pathetic, might be meh. Total guesswork.

Saints always seem to get us in the H&A.

I agree all 6 are winnable but we don't seem to play with consistency anymore so will probably drop 2-3 winnable games.

Firmly believe we will beat the Suns

Post by: JP Tiger on January 15, 2024, 08:46:30 PM: Most likely to have some teething problems in the early rounds, but really anything could happen. We could go 1-5 or 5-1 just as easily. I do think we will have a pretty good season in the end, but it could be a bit rough early on. We do need to stop picking that bloke named 'out injured' ... :P

Post by: Francois Jackson on January 23, 2024, 07:16:25 AM: One win for me. Saints away is 50/50.

The rest no.

It is far from easy going for the Tigers to begin Adem Yze's time in charge and they're expected to face an even tougher run in rounds 7-11. They will first reunite with former coach Damien Hardwick in Opening Round before three tough games at the MCG against the Blues, Power and Swans, all finalists last year. After facing the Saints in Gather Round, the Tigers will head west to meet the Eagles at Optus Stadium prior to a round six bye.

Post by: tony_montana on March 04, 2024, 11:43:42 PM: Even though youd expect some teething problems early, I think we still have enough quality to win games early. Funnily enough, of all those games, the one that I think will be toughest to win is the stkilda game.
