could end up on 10 or 11 I reckon, obviously that is based on the notion we can continue to play passionate 4 quarter efforts every week

A notion that is based on one game's evidence?

To be fair C& B said if they played 4 quarters like they did on Sat.... That being the case it's not too far fetched that they would win 4-7 of those matches.... 8 win min is a stretch though even for me.

That said.... if the unlikely occurs this week against the Pies, and with a weeks rest before taking on GWS, I suspect there will be a lot of people re-evaluating things a little quicker, as I think even you have said RPFC that things can turn around very quickly.

Given the start to the year and the obvious focus on learning new structures, I can't see us getting 10 or 11. 8 or 9 would be a more realistic result. Besides, it's all academic at this stage. This year's gone. The year is only important now as the first step in restoring the club to its rightful place as a competitive entity in the competition. If by the end of the year we have earned some respect for effort and hardness it will be a good result.

I reckon about 6 wins this year, I just want to beat GWS and North (because of what scott said)

I also would like scully to be treated in the appropriate manner (prison shanking)

[Jarka 767]

Sorry, but we're not going to get another 8+ wins for the season. I'm confident of our future but if we get another 5 or 6 then we'll have done very well.

Like your enthusiasm though

What did Scott say?

something along the lines of 'any team can beat anyone on their day except the expasion clubs and melbourne'

[Sir Why You Little 37,038]

Win the next 12. Make Finals. Win them, Kick Ass. YEAH!!!

[rpfc 28,433]

Amazing that we have gone from people actually thinking we would go through the year 0 and 22 to now people hoping/demanding we go 6 and 16 at least and hoping for 10 and 12...

Crazy lot we are, hmm?

This is a comedy thread isn't it??

[PaulRB 6,363]

If we can solidify and make a habit of the four quarter effort, replicate it for the rest of the year and improve then maybe 8+. However, it is a huge IF at this stage.

As they say "One Swallow does not make a Spring".

Yeah i guess we could just be negative all year.......

[Samsara 65]

Let's see how we go against the Pies this week. Was the game against Essendon the cliched 'we've had enough and will make one stand' game, or is it a sign of a more determined and united outfit going forward?

[praha 11,240]

Let's just take it one game at a time. We have a Grand Finalist from the last two years coming up.

1-9.

[BIG JIM 508]

Im thinking we will beat collingwood and it is a 50/50 game

We will have 4 or 5 wins at the seasons end.

I think the club might hold Mark back just a little with the super draft coming just IMO

[RalphiusMaximus 6,053]

Looking at that draw, the op isn't that outlandish. GWS and GC we should win. Brisbane, port and freo depend on which teams turn up on each side, and north always beat us. If we were to get to 6 wins It would look ok.

[Matt Demon 1,431]

Happy to win as many as we can. In saying that i do hope we finish below the Dogs who also have compo picks and would knock us down the draft order.

We have to be a real chance against the Saints if we play hard bruising footy . They are so soft harder ones:

Freo (WA)

Saints

Richmond

Pies

Crows (MCG)

How on earth can you say north at Etihad is easy. We haven't beaten them since 2006z

I'd argue that the nth game will be on par with playing west coast at Subi. North own us, and they know it too.

[rpfc 28,433]

Mark Stevens has us finishing with 4 wins. Presumably Gws twice and GC.

He also didn't have the Tigers finishing 9th and as we all now - this is their year!

I think we are a chance to win about 5 or 6 more.

Yeah, it's similar to us over the Bombers.

Might be one to focus on...
