Next 3 weeks are ENORMOUS. If we can't win at least 1 there's no chance we are a finals team

    50% of voters are selling us short. There is no reason to lack optimism this season.

    Yep know more next week

    We can win them all just need the players to recognise that.

    They play with the same endeavour and determination for 4 quarters that they display for some periods and the coaches select and set strategies for specific opponents. What could be easier?

    I for one did.  it's classically 50/50 atm.  Very easy to mount a case to say we might win 7/8 I understand however the season is THAT even that games against the Bullies, Weagles, Port, Swannies  arent a gift.  Carlton are starting to play a decent game..dont ink that in straight away..Should win....but there's lots of games we SHOULD win  I expect to beat the Aints...again :)  danger game...Pies last round..we'll be playing for a decent spot in finals perhaps..they will wont us as a scalp seeing they WONT make finals.

    Just so hard to put a finger on it.

    Going by recent form and the way we deal with expectation against better sides, we might end up winning another 7.

    Or we could crumble.

    At the start of the season I pencilled in the next month as being a barometer of where we're at regardless of how many wins we're on at the time. 10-12 for mine.

    who'd put there house on winning 8 ?   7?   :unsure:

    I voted 7 - 9 because I didn't read the poll question correctly.

    I think we will win 7 to 9 more games in a really st one finish to the year.

    Please edit if possible.

    I think we are a chance to win the next 2, if we did that imagine the crowd on a Friday night v the swans would be a massive game

    In some years of past there might simply be a nod to Mfcss in not considering a healthy finish to a season. In many seasons there are distinct trends. Teams have played,won, lost according to the nap of the play, as it were. This year is just bizarre. Pick A ...bound to be B etc. Anyone and everyone is winning/losing against conventional opinion.

    Tossing coins is proving as accurate a method as any.

    Picking the run home ? :rolleyes: ... Where's the dartboard ?

    We're already on 6 so by selecting 6 you're saying we won't win another game.

    There are twelve games left !

    Not sure about your maths Dr

    Just did the AFL.com ladder predictor (a flawed exercise I know).  Tried to be as realistic as possible

    Had the Demons finishing 6th with 12 wins and 112%

    It was a scary exercise though, as the 8 changes so much from week to week.  For example with three rounds left I had us in 11th position before winning the last three games.  Going into Round 22 with two games left,  Essendon, Collingwood and West Coast were all in my eight.

    After the last game all three were out, replaced by Melbourne, Gold Coast and Richmond.

    This is gonna be a scary run home, but awesome too. Just thank heavens were are in the hunt finally after a decade.

    I think we have 4 games we should win and 4 more we are a good chance in so I went for 6 more wins.  that would see us have a bad patch coming up, being out of the 8 but then maybe sneaking in at the end.  

    Gawn and Hogan are the X factors that can get us more consistent and winning more

    We can't afford a hiding in any of the remaining games as percentage is going to be so, so crucial this year.

    Bub, I think the poll question is how many wins in total at the end of H&A 2016; not how many games between now and end of H&A.

    I for one had to read it twice, then realised we couldn't get 16 wins from the last 11 games.

    Ah...i see. 

    I read it (poll ) same...how many by the eos.

    I answered for 12... hence the 6 more wins.

    Yep, me too! Should be good enough for me to have to cancel my overseas September holidays (Mrs. Small not going to be happy with that!!!)

    We need some of our players to have a purple patch as the finals approaches.

    In our glory days I can recall the Feebey twins coming out of their shells and playing repeated blinders.

    I will be looking to Salem, Hunt and Petracca to deliver that magic. There is some real potential upside in this team.

    Darwin presents a real problem as a game on the road played in atrocious humidity. If we are doing well at that stage it will be interesting to see how we manage that game.

    By the way I voted for 5-6 more wins so I really have no idea.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.
