Reckon we will end up 4th or 5th.
Easy draw ahead
No more games at Etihad .
Destiny is in our hands as most of the teams above us either play each other (look at next weeks draw) and or will self destruct, as the Bombers and Carlton will.
Might add we will beat both these teams later in year ;)

I tell you what ... if we can finish 4th and miss having to play the pies in the finals and we continue to improve then anything could happen.

spot on.
said we would hunt the hawks down and that was
the style of game we won with.
said last week would would just win (not unlike your 8 point prediction)
this week is an even bigger test i reckon.
will Rossy go full on defensive?

Could be our downfall if we play into their hands, stick to our game
and we will be fine

exactly, there are certain sides that we match up well with
and i reckon the frockers we do...but it can quickly go the other way
if they arent mentally switched on.

My final eight is, in this order:

West Coast
Adelaide
Collingwood
Essendon
Richmond
Hawthorn
Carlton
Sydney

Lol we would be 50/50 to make a Granny with that draw provided Adelaide beat Collingwood in the first week.

vs Sydney at MCG
vs Essendon at MCG
vs Adelaide at AAMI
Granny vs West Coast at MCG  :lol
My thoughts exactly :shh

We need to beat the Bombers and Carlton to deserve to be there.

there's no way in my opinion.
I reckon we'll finish ninth or tenth.
But if we beat carlscum the season will be a positive one.  :thumbsup

For mine its simple, seeing as we are competing with Carlton for the final spot we must beat them. 8 point game. We win the 8 games highlighted and beat Carlton then we play finals.

Our 9 wins must include beating Carlton.
Go Tigers!

Could not care less who we beat whether its Filth or Bums. The way I see things is we may still win one we are not supposed to and lose to a Nought or Dogs.

For me the critical 2 weeks is Freo away and Essendon in Round 21 and 22.

Furthermore Port in Round 23 is no pushover either. They have ruined our party in the last two seasons and complacency in that game will be fatal.
