melb, GC, WB and Port are certain wins(4), the remaining 5 are 50/50 yes even the lions at the Gabba. we'll probably win 1-2 of those

We'll end up with 12 wins, miss out on the 8 by percentage or a game

Would hate to need to beat Port in the last game to make the finals.

They have ruined our party before although playing at the G has just increased our chances in that game. I think you may be right TM we might get to 12 but we will just miss. :-\

13 wins gets us in definitely

13 wins however is unlikely as it means we need 7 wins from 9 games

Get through the next 2 weeks with wins and round 17 against N0rt becomes the classic 8 point game

12 wins will get someone into 8th spot but its % that will decide it and with a couple of teams having/had a free whack %wise thanks to the draw I don't think it will be us

 ;D ;D

I've said all season we needed absolutely everything to go our way to play finals are you now agreeing with me? ;D :cheers

Obviously our depth has been exposed big time in the last few weeks

Seriously, though Freo game is the one we shot where we shot ourselves in the foot.... that and the Eagles = Costly costly costly

Vickery out for the season, King and Grimes out for at least 4 weeks, Jackson suspended for 2 weeks, Foley suffering a mystery injury.....finals is starting to seem less and less likely.

Collingwood and co have had their depth tested and found some gems as a result. Do we have any hidden gems left?

Melbourne and then Gold Coast couldn't have come at a better time.....or did I just jinx us now  :-X   :gotigers

We're going to get a good look at what is actually on the list the back half of the year.

No point sugar coating it at this stage if it still needs work. Which of course it does.

Well at least every other club sitting on 6-7 need to win 7 out of the last 9

Guess that means Carlton are stuffed  :cheers

They got in with 10 under Knighta. We missed out from 11 wins and a draw the year before under Wallet.
