I think we had a similar run to this last year.   We lost to the Saints, just lost to WC and then beat Hawks and Port.  I remember Roos they really put a lot of planning into the 4 week bloke and I can see them doing the same with this block of games.  

I think we can win 3 out of the 4

Yup, player management will be the key for that stretch.

Luckily we have depth now and should be able to withstand it. And having Hogan, Gawn and Spencer all back will help big time. 

Particularly the two ruckmen freeing up Watts and Pedders to play roles they are more dangerous in, that are a lot less taxing on their bodies.

The QB game this year is going to be a belter. We simply have to win it, given that we play the Dogs at Etihad the following week and West Coast at Subi the week after that.

Surely we'll get 70,000 plus for it.

 

If the pies beat Freo this week, a win againt us and they will go above us on the ladder a probably into the 8

UNSW is in Sydney. (My thirdborn studies there.) UNSW Oval is in Canberra. Figure that out?

UNSW has a campus in Canberra. It is the Defence Force's Academy / Uni for educating of Army/Navy/Air Force officers. It was outsourced to UNSW many years ago. In the past the Giants have had at least 1 game per year in Canberra where they provide promo tickets for the Defence Force (I believe this was initiated by Kevin Sheedy).

Champion Data assesses each club's chances of finals at the mid point of the season.

Port 95%....   thats insane.  If they lose on Saturday (Bombers could roll them at Etihad)  and they'd be 6-5.

Dogs at 92% is also too high.

Some folk love this brand of koolaid.

Not my taste :unsure:

We've been in all games - lost due to injury(ies), 20 minutes lapses, and never ever been out of the game from the 3rd quarter. Ideally, we wouldn't have lost to Geelong, Richmond, Freo, Hawthorn and even North (all winnable games). We could be 10 and zip actually.  I genuinely see us a smokies heading into the finals. And if it aint 2017 - gee the next few years look like a flaming log fire on a cold winters night.

FWIW (very little) did a ladder predictor and had our season pan out as follows

Elimination Final Vs Richmond MCG - Win

Semi Final Vs Geelong MCG - Win

Preliminary Final Vs Adelaide AO - Win

Grand Final Vs GWS - Win

Simple :roos:

Round 16 vs Carlton (MCG)- lose

Might as well lock this thread, this is another development year we won't be playing finals, and it pisses me off to say it but it is what it is, we are simply just not good enough and mentally weak. I'm sure I will get shot down but don't care, I hope gawn and hogan can make some sort of difference but those 2 can't fix what's going on upstairs

I think come round 21 we won't be in the 8, and we'll need to win the last three to play finals...

Close the thrrad and just look at the Doggies game. We are building but no where not far enough down thr track yet to be looking to far ahead

The Doggies game is season defining for both clubs. They have been horrid in stretches, and start to lose ground on the top 4 with a loss. 

We have been jekyl and hyde all season long, and have challenging run home.

Going to be a cracker next week!

nah ..this is an interesting thread

Dogs have won one of their last four. Next week is the kind of game we need to win if we are to be counted as real improvers.

It's at Docklands under the roof (luckily as they predict winds and hail next Sunday) so our skills , when we show them should be well demonstrated.

Hopefully not too much soreness or injuries out of the Pies game.

We toughed out a great win today but next week we play the writers of the tough win playbook. Huge, huge game.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.
