Okay, now we are at the Bye - what expectations do we have for end of year?
We play:-
Crow bots (Crowbot Park)
Demons
Suns (cairns)
Kangas
Blues
Lions (gabba)
Bulldogs
Freo (Subi)
Bombres
Power
To me:- 4 should wins lions, suns, dees and power but can see us dropping one as an upset
2 winnables against Roos and Bulldogs, reckon we win 1
4 toughies blues, bombres, crowbots and Freo in Perth. Gut says we should aim to win 1 of those
I see 11 wins but think if we can play at the level of the first 10 weeks then we may sneak another 1 or 2 wins.
10 becomes the pass mark with 12 or more wins an outstanding effort.
I reckon with 5 wins from our remaining 10 wins and a fairly soft draw any % at or above 110% is both realistic and reflective of a very competitive 22 weeks of football :thumbsup
Thoughts?

Who cares about %. We won't make it
Beat the scum in round 18 & ruin their finals aspirations and the years a plus for mine.

That's what it comes down to. Can have the greatest % in the comp but if you don't have the wins the % means nothing

Reckon we are a better chance against bums than cheats.
-
Demons, Norf and Footscray will play out of their skins against us.

No kidding eh? I reckon well drop one of those most likely to north on our return from humid cairns

So true case in point 1996. Hawthorn pips us by half a game with a %97 while we finish 9th and a % of about 117.
However no draws as yet this season and in some way they will either be handy or destroy you for something like the above to happen.
So long as they keep the mantra of playing well and not get blown out when they don't they'll give themselves every chance.

Should beat essendon
-
Beat Adelaide in 2 weeks and it gives us room to drop a game if it comes to that. No one expects us to beat the Crows so we should go in guns blazing with nothing to lose. I think we match up well on them (if Foley playes) - another midfield battle.
-
Won't be suprised if we beat crows. Aami is our 2nd fave ground
-
Should win 6:
Melbourne
Gold Coast
N0rt Melbourne
Brisbane
Footscray
Port Adelaide
Possible to win 3:
Carlton
Essendon
Fremantle
Should lose 1:
Adelaide
Make of that what you will.

% was more a reference to another indicator of our rate of improvement. % has been weak basically for as long as I can remember (relative to our wins/losses) with the exception of 96.
