Maybe red bull is onto something

Let's not get carried away here.

Between us and finals stand a Hawthorn game, an AAMI Stadium game, and the hope that other teams fail miserably between now and week 1 of the finals. And even if we do make the finals, it would be a miracle if we progress past week one.

At the start of the season most here agreed that 8-10 wins would be a very good result, and we're on track to achieve that. Anything else is a massive bonus.

Well, we are actually frighteningly close to the 8 as things stand. While I generally assume that I'm right in pretty much everything, in this case I'd be thrilled to be proven wrong. Even so, I think we'll miss out, although I concede it could get very close.

It's like the kid in primary school who got held back a year telling you 2 plus 2 is 4. He's made himself look like an idiot, but he might be on to something

Most thought that the 7 wins mark would be a great result for us this year, considering we won 4 last year and were wooden-spooners. Currently we are on 7.5 wins!

I don't think we'll make the 8. We're all very pumped from defeating Sydney at home and Brissy at the Gabba... but we WILL lose to Hawthorn and we WILL lose to Port in Adelaide (our record is a SHOCKER in Adelaide and our average losing margin is around 10 goals over there over the past 3-4 years!). Adding to that, North have the wood over us but it could be a tight contest.

Got to be realistic sometimes. We will need many other results to go our way if we're a good bet for the Top 8.

Getting a bit closer i would say compared to the s#$t that he got on here at the start of the topik.

I think we're more likely to beat Hawthorn than bloody North Melbourne.

That would give us 10 and a half gee essendon made it with 10 umm.

That means we could make it umm.

We can still make the 8. Will give me a huge payoff if we do so i dont mind.

Go Dees Attack
