Using wayne's trusty old colour coordinated
W = win,
P = probable,
L =loss method ...
1. Carlton
W2. Coll'wood
P - Pies are usual up and about early in the year.
3. Adelaide
P - if it was at the 'G though I'd be more confident than at Etihad.
4. West Coast
P - tough but our record at Subi is good.
5. Melbourne
P - any other top 8 side would have a "W" but you know us.
6. Port Adel.
P - if it's Port of 2015 then this will be a "W".
7. Hawthorn
P - top 4 side so paradoxically our record against them is good.
8. Sydney
W - we usually beat the Swans at the 'G even when we were a bottom side.
9. Fremantle
P - see Eagles.
10. Essendon
W - won't be easy as the Bombers are usually still up and about around this time of the year before dying away.
11. North
L - even if we were 10-0 and North were 0-10, we'd still lose to this mob
.
12. Gold Coast
W 13. ---bye---
14. Brisbane
W15. Port Adel.
P - record against them in Adelaide is good.
16. Bulldogs
L - they'll be too quick for us on the fast track of Etihad.
17. Essendon
W18. Hawthorn
P19. GWS Giants
P - Our record is perfect against them but it's the first time we've played in Canberra and the Giants are on the up.
20. Coll'wood
W - happy to end their season here.
21. Geelong
L - See North.
22. St Kilda
W 23. Sydney
P - it'd be nice if we could get to here without our season depending on this game.
So that's ...

Not a draw with too many "certain" wins (play fewer bottom 4 sides) and "certain" losses (only play our bogey sides once). So depending on form and injury were could end up anywhere between 12th and top 4. Split our "probables" and we'll finish with 13-14 wins, which means another year in 5th-8th spot.
