where is Single Malt.. an unmarried man

I'm sticking with my pre-season estimate of 11 wins, which means 7 more from the remaining 15

our draw is much tougher from here on plus we've had a pretty sweet injury run

 

Where have you been Curry? Sinbin?

It is one of those impossible questions, for us anyway.

Even as far back as the good old days; in 2006 we managed to cost ourselves a top-4 finish by losing to Carlton twice - we were an outright majority of their wins for the season!

But don't worry, anyone we don't beat this year, we'll sort out next year. ;)

And what sort of house do you live in Malt family?

Sympathy.

But, on topic, in the "Can we make the 8..." thread I nominated Brisbane at the 'G, Port in Alice Springs, Collingwood QB, Suns at the 'G, Freo in Darwin if they are sufficiently demoralised by then, and Carlton at the 'G as ones we should believe will be wins. I felt St Kilda seemed like an 8-point game: if we won, you could think the return match in Rd 17 at the same venue becomes similarly winable, with possibly the reverse being the case if we lose. Which, since then, we did. But now I think we're less fragile for that return. So add St Kilda Part II as a possible.

The remaining 9 games were Suns on The Coast, Dogs, Hawks (twice!!) and Crows at the 'G, Swans at the other 'G, the other Coast in the west, Port in Adelaide and Geelong at Kardinia Park, and thought the other most possibles were Port or maybe one of the Suns, Dogs or Adelaide games. We've now achieved the Suns game so my possibles now represent 4 games: the St Kilda return, Port in Adelaide, the Dogs next week (BIG game) and Adelaide at home. So my fortune-tell was between 11 (more likely) and 15 (less likely) wins leading into a mouthwatering Round 23 at Kardinia Park.

We can beat anyone

We can also lose to anyone

And isn't this progress? Remember when we would brace ourselves for a big loss every week? Urgh.

I've said for quite some time that we'll win between 10-12 games. We're tracking well to hit that. Hoping we don't peter out at the back end, but have an unfunny feeling we might. We've still got a very young side and the 23 week season might just take its toll.

Still, I haven't been this excited about a season since I was in high school in the mid 2000s. I'd legitimately forgotten what it was like to be excited for the remaining rounds at this time of year. And as you say, HH, it's good going into every week knowing we can push anyone. That's what makes the hiccups (although occasionally expected) all the more frustrating.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
