The Run Home How many will we win?
« on: July 15, 2013, 01:43:13 PM »
Well here we site 6th overall, I would never have thought that at the start of the season. We have to chalk this up as  big improvement.
 A lot of luck we can make the 4, No luck we drop out of the finals.
Looking at these games we should win against Bris and GWS. This will probably put finals destiny out of our own hands.
We need 2 extra wins somewhere.
Can we do it? Who will they be? Who needs to stand up? I would like to see Jack with a different attitude, Our midfield has been great, Lids now is the time to show everything you got. The boys gutsed it out on Saturday against the Suns.
Can Dan repeat that performance? Will injuries strike us down.?
I think Carl and Ess are must wins, which means we need to win one in the next 3 weeks.
It canna be done? give me warp 10 Scotty...She'll never take it Capn!! Cotch will lead us through!!

Think we will win 3 more and we need too, the N0rt loss and the loss of % that went with it makes me think 12 might not be enough for us

Wins: GWS, Brisbane, Carlton

With us being a massive show against the Hawks & Bombers

Can't see us beating Sydney at the SCG

Think we should beat GWS and Brisbane (though the Lions were very good against the Roos  :-\).

The extra win will come against Sydney with us a sneaky chance in every other game. We are just as likely to lose 5 of the last seven as win 4 against some strong opposition.

Freo would be a great scalp!

I thought Essendon lost a lot of drive with Watson out of the side.
To beat Ess AND Carlton would mean we are true contenders for the 8, To beat Freo true contenders for top 6, To beat them PLUS either Syd or Hawth will mean we are top 4.

Throw down the gloves...game on.

14 wins meaning  IMHO
Freo win
Sydney loss
Hawthorn loss
Brisbane win
Carlton win
GWS win
Essendon depends on ASADA
Ask me about that game in a few weeks. ;)

makes me think 12 might not be enough for us


12 will be plenty this year

Adelaide and Norf need to win their last 7 to make it to 13 wins, so that wont happen.

Leaves Carlton and WCE who are both 7-8.

WCE have got Sydney, Geel, Coll, Ess on the way home and wont be winning more than 4 you wouldnt think.
Carlton have got Norf, Freo, Us, Ess and port away. They MIGHT win 5, but wont be going 6-1.

This is the year that 12 is plenty.

Our % is 116 and better than Carlton and the Eagles, and we still have GWS.

Locking in: GWS
Likely: Carlton, Brisbane
Possible: Freo
Unlikely: Sydney, Hawthorne, Essendon


So hopefully the first three, then manage another scalp or two if we're lucky. I suspect 13-14 wins this year :)

Where will your club finish?

    Matt Windley
    Herald Sun
    July 17, 2013


6. RICHMOND

40pts 116.7%
R17: Fremantle, MCG
R18: Sydney, SCG
R19: Hawthorn, MCG
R20: Brisbane Lions, MCG
R21: Carlton, MCG
R22: Greater Western Sydney, Skoda Stadium
R23: Essendon, MCG

Matt says:
Conservatively you could say Richmond will lose four of its remaining games, but the Tigers are likely to be safely ensconced in the eight come the end of Round 23 regardless. Sunday's clash with Fremantle shapes as the match of the round: it's huge for Freo, who are pushing for top four, and huge for Tigers fans looking to lower the blood pressure slightly. Beat the Dockers and Damien Hardwick's chargers are an absolute lock for finals.

Rohan Connolly in The Age today reckons we'll win only two of our remaining games - against Brisbane and GWS.

being realistic.
freo - loss
syd - loss
haw - loss
br - 50/50 with a leaning toward the tiges.
ca - is without a doubt 50/50
gws - win
ess - loss

to be certain we probably have to win all 3 of br, ca gws.  win two and it will probably come down to percentage.
let me say 50/50 means exactly that it could go either way.
lots of people thinking we have already made finals im not so sure about that.
