Will we win a game this year and if so how many?

[Tiger Khosh]

Surely the saints end up with their usual mediocre 10-14 place finish.

I've tipped the Saints for the spoon

They are terrible

What a disaster that would be for them. I mean I feel like it’s pretty obvious that their 22 isn’t anywhere near a premiership contender but a bottom 4 finish and you’d think they’d have to start the rebuild again.

SEN no longer has us ranked last.

18. RICHMOND (1-1, 71.8%)

Last week: Ranked 17th, lost to Port Adelaide by 71 pts

Perhaps it’s a tad harsh to drop the Tigers, given they’ve actually won a game, but nearly beating Brisbane in Brisbane is probably equally as impressive as beating Carlton at a neutral venue. Especially in a game starting at 10 o’clock on your body clock. (Good ol’ fixture, always making sense.) These two teams may alternate between these positions over the season but we would be pretty surprised if anyone else contended for the spoon but them.

The Run Home: Where every AFL club will finish on the ladder

17. RICHMOND (3-12, 64.8%)

Remaining games

Round 17: Geelong at GMHBA Stadium

Round 18: Essendon at the MCG

Round 19: West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium

Round 20: Collingwood at the MCG

Round 21: Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium

Round 22: St Kilda at the MCG

Round 23: North Melbourne at Ninja Stadium

Round 24: Geelong at the MCG

Remaining fixture difficulty: 7th-easiest

The main concern for the Tigers at this point, rather than their own finishing position, is North Melbourne’s since they own the Kangaroos’ first-round pick. So beating North in Round 23 is the top priority. That’d also virtually ensure they avoid the wooden spoon, since we could see the Eagles joining them on three wins but four sounds like a bridge too far.

Fox Footy’s projection: 5.15 wins, finishing 17th

I think that's us done for the year

[mat073]

We can still get our hands on pick 1

[Hard Roar Tiger]

I think that's us done for the year

Which seriously bothers me.
We have 2 winnable games coming up against the Eagles and the Bombres. Right now, we won’t get within 8 goals of either team which is a huge worry.
I understand we will finish bottom 3 but I personally think it’s super important to find a way to get another 2-3 wins this season to send message of improvement to the current playing list and those weighing up the options at other clubs.
The Roos are NOT the model we should be following.
The last month of this year is crucial and my hope is that Lalor, Hotten, Gibcus and possibly Smillie make that last month as positive as the first 11 rounds so that list management can get to work on recruiting bigger bodies.
Remember, there’s 6-8 over 30 who are likely to retire in the next 2-3 years
There is no point being younger than Tassie when they join the comp.

[Francois Jackson]

We need to start trading for FA NOW. If that is Reid so be it, though im not totally convinced unless i see what our picks are this year.

in 2010 we got the ball rolling with Grigg and Bachar. There is no point waiting around being poo like North.

[Diocletian]

The inexperience excuse doesn't cut it for me - Yze's had at least half a dozen premiership players at his disposal every match with another 4-5 on the list + Taranto & Hopper who are experienced finals players including a GF & multiple prelims under their belts and other blokes who've been on the list for 4-5 years now, last year he had even more premiership players including Baker , Bolton & Rioli all at or approaching their peaks and could only manage two wins - I don't expect finals or even close to it , but he really should be doing better than 5 wins from 37 games , with the losing margins getting bigger not smaller and no clearly defined game plan that anyone can easily see. .

[MintOnLamb]

We get pick 1 if we don’t win another game.

Personally I hope we beat WCE.

In reality North and ESS will cut us to pieces unless we change something.
Balta on the wing is my suggestion, Young can play forward with Lynch out and Blight can play back. We need to change something. At the moment it is horrendous to watch.

Any way we can get Hodge as some form of coaches assistant??

Balta can only play against North out of those 3 I think! How long is his curfew?

Hodge or Grigg our next coach.

Should be approaching Pendlebury for an assistant's role the minute he retires as well.

[Simonator]

What’s this BS about hodge? Has never coached
