How many games will we win next year?

[one-eyed]

Okay we've had almost 24 hours for the 2012 draw to sink in. So how many games do you think we will win next year?

[Hard Roar Tiger]

Next year we have 7 games against teams that finished below us on the ladder, 10 against 6-11 and remaining against top
6. We need to win the 7, split the 10against 6-12 and cause an upset or 2 agai st top 6

[WilliamPowell]

How long is a piece of string 

Looked at it and though we can win 15-16 games, got up this morning and though 12-14 will do me

First 3 rounds are crucial, we ge toff to a flyer 3-0 and I reckon we are away

13 Wins, 9 Losses

Pretty much agree with WP. Could easily win 15-16 but just get the 12-14 wins and make the 8. 

First 3 games give us a huge opportunity to firstly set up our season but also get some clubs vying for a spot in the 8, playing catch up to us. (Carlton/Saints) If we can get to 3-0 then confidence is up and all of a sudden the next 3 games don't look so imposing.

[Hellenic Tiger]

13-14 is challenging but not impossible.
Based on our acquisitions in Free Trade and any ready made players from the draft later this month to push out some cloggers we could cause some damage and maybe even finish as high as 6th.
This year is the year Dimma and the list will be critiqued rigorously. Time to make finals and turn those fade outs into four or five goal wins and get the mental edge to win the close ones.
The draw is not overbearing lay difficult. Time to deliver Tigers.

[TigerTimeII]

we could win 16 / 17 games but we wont because we will eff up easy games as we always do

14 we we will  but if we can stop losing games we should win we could win as many as 17

[Phil Mrakov]

16 wins next year.

Bookmark it and bump it when it happens.

I'm Nostradamus.

[Stripes]

I'm optimistic that we could even finish in the top 4 though if we scrape into the 8 I will be extremely happy. All comes down to injuries and with a better early draw we can set up our season. When the injuries inevitably hit mid-year, as they typically do, we will be better placed to ride them out without losing games against weaker opponents due to having to field our 2nds team. Our new recruits will strengthen up our over team strength and depth plus the inclusion of a fit Vickery and Foley will make a huge difference.

What will handicap us severely is, as MT also said, Maric going down. We just can't cover him. Anyone of our other linchpins - Cotch, Lids, Jack, Rance - can be covered to a degree but the difference between the Mullet's and his cover is far too steep to not impact us terribly.

14 wins 

[MADTIGER2010]

15 wins.
Someone pencilled in a loss against hawthorn. We smashed them this year 

[smasha]

Top 6 for mine.
Get on board.
Time for the Tiger to swing the tail around!

[dwaino]

25 wins.

[Loui Tufga]

25 wins.

Yeeessssss

[Tigeritis™©®]

Well well it's absolutely certain we will go undefeated and win the premiership cup now that the great Aaron "lockup" Edwards in in our forward line and is a Monty to kick 30-40 goals in a forward pocket. Will go down as the trade of the year!


.... On a serious note....
JUST BEAT CARLSCUM ROUND 1!!!!!!!!
Then I'll assess the year ahead.

[jordie2tivendale]

15 for me  which will probably land us 5th ( the new 9th )
