1-10 BYE 10-1

[mrtwister 652]

Who's aboard the 50-50 train?

1 and 10 at the half way mark. Looking at our opponents for the 2nd half, I'm not rolling my eyes at any of them.

Considering we have improved each week (arguably) and we've played all the top 9 (apart from Adelaide) I don't think any games are out of reach.

Win the rest of the home and away games, then dominate finals and win the flag ?

Sounds good to me

Not beyond the realms of possibility, but they will need to start going into games attacking the ball from the opening bounce. Those starts against the Swans and Collingwood were unforgivable.

[Green Machine 63]

But seriously, I think we should get a few more wins from the second half of the year if we continue to improve.

There is a small optimistic part of me that would like to believe that... But I am currently embedded on the front bumper grill of the reality bus. And believe me, it hurt when it hit me.

The 50-50 bus is much softer and won't hurt. In fact, it's padded and they give you these wonderful white jackets with buckles on the back.

If the improvement continues at this current rate, I reckon we can win 5 games on the run home.

Love the optimism guys.

I'll take realism but good on ya for posting something positive which is a change round here...

Sorry, I'm already aboard the reality bus. It's going in the opposite direction.

If we don't finish the year with 7 wins I think I'd consider the year less than a success.

The Rd 1 loss to the Lions was a shocker. I reckon we'd beat them by 5 goals now at the G.

I'd think we'll beat:

GWS x 2

Suns

North

And sneak over 2 of Freo, Port, Brisbane, or Richmond.

I like that we've got a bit of mongrel in us too. It gives me more confidence.

[Dee*ceiving 1,724]

I'd be wrapped if we go 50-50 for the last 11 games. That would mean we finish with 6-7 wins. that in itself would be a commendable effort.

I think the reality bus passed the point where we could consider this year anything but "less than a success" about 6 rounds ago.

At this point we are looking for morsels and glimmers of hope for next season.

Sorry to be a kill joy.

[BIG JIM 508]

I thinking maybe 4 wins and some really good mids come november.

sad but true.

Great song Metallica.

[Ricky P 757]

We'll end up with 6 or 7.

[Guest Gotzy15]

The way I see it we should beat GWS x2 and GC. That gives us 4 wins. I could maybe see us pinching another one against Port,freo or STK.

[DEELIRIOUS 156]

GWS, Suns, Port, Freo, North for the first time in who knows how long!

I'm afraid I've booked on the Reality Bus too. It's very crowded and my seat is right down the back. I'll really struggle to get off.

Who cares the season is done & dusted.

2013 here we come!!!!

Some would suggest you have a firm grasp on the reality of our sitaution PaulRB.

We have had one win,

Our average losing score is 54.9 points ( ( 9 goals), we lost by 42 yesterday.

The result is a couple of more wins if we play out of our skins.

My best result is 4 for the season.

A novel idea would be maybe to "take one week at a time".

I could see us winning say 7 of the remaining games, or just a few.

The team are more and more getting their act together -- they now need to do it consistently within games and between games.

I am confident that it will gel; just not sure if it will be this year or next.

The score line would argue with you monoccular.

I would agree have improved, we are not a shambles for entire games now

GWS, Suns, Port, Freo, North for the first time in who knows how long!

Dear god please let us bear north for a change. I hate losing to that embarrassment of a 'club' more than any other, the filth included

And yes I know, people in glass houses re: embarrassment in recent times...

Not Just Recent time mate most of the last 40 years.

In that that time they have won 4 premierships, Dees nil

They have beaten us 9 times in a row since 2007.

If they are an embarrassment of a club I not sure where that leaves the dees.
