After 11 years of no September I'd rather play our first final at the MCG rather than Spotless Stadium, but that may just be me.

85,000 at The MCG thanks...

My prediction:

Adelaide 15-7

GWS 16-4-2

Geelong 16-5-1

Port 15-7

RIchmond 14-8

West Coast 14-8

Sydney 13-9

Essendon 13-9

--------------------

Melbourne 13-9

W Bulldogs 11-11

St Kilda 10-12

Sadly, Essendon and West Coast have very easy draws and overtake us, despite us winning 13 games!

Who do you have us beating and losing to?

You overrate West Coast.

 

Looks like his predictions did not take into account any upsets, which are sure to happen (but impossible to predict which games).

Heres my go at it, I think its realistic however its all a guessing game

As would I but what I meant to say was that I think we're a better chance for a first up finals win if we finish top 4 if we play GWS away, than if we play Geelong at the MCG. I'd rather finish top 4 and have to play away than finish 5th-8th and play at the MCG.  Attending a final isn't really in my sights. It's having the team play finals that I want to see.

I think Essendon are certainties, they have a very easy run home.

They are on 8 wins.

I have them going 3-3 the rest of the way.

Losses to Western Bulldogs, Gold Coast (in qld) and Adelaide.

Wouldnt be surprised if Carlton  roll them too.

Toiges have a much harder draw than the Dees

They play:

Giants at the MCG

Suns at the GC

Hawks at the MCG

Cats at Kardinia Park

Dockers at Freo

Saints at the MCG

Everyone of those games is 50/50 at best and you could make a good case that they would win 3 at most leaving them on 13 wins at best, Hard to see them ending up fourth or fifth.

If they beat the Giants they will be doing well and perhaps they deserve to be rated.

I see that North are resting Ziebell this week and haven't recalled a couple of others who sound like they might be ready (Woods and Williams), is that because (a) they think we're very beatable next week because it's both in Tassie and we've been their bunnies for a long time; or (b) are they starting to manage their season so potentially their draft position might improve? 

Could have an impact if they are resting up to give us a good run next week, although I'd still think we should get the job done even if they were full strength.

Gawn plays against Collingwood and they won't get near us. The only reason they played so well against us last time is Grundy dominated that first half. Gawn usually kills him.

I see us winning minimum three probably more on the way home giving us 12 wins minimum we are in the box seat. I don't see the 8 changing from how it is now I think that's the best 8 teams

If we want to be genuine contenders we have to get past this bloody Kangas hoodoo. We are better than them, we must win.

You've got to step on something as you vault into the finals. The pies will make a lovely doormat !!

I got this a number of times. 

As you say it's not really the anticipated outcomes, it's the left field howlers.

Amazing season.

If we win this week we are a fair chance at top 4. 

I reckon we can win 5/6 

should beat north given they're tanking

giants are very beatable. As are saints 

and you'd think we'd roll the lions and pies. No reason we can't win all 6 but realistically i think we will win 4

Indeed. In present circumstances I would take the Tigs in a knockout final in a heartbeat.

13-9 but missing the finals on the basis of Essendon and West Coast taking advantage of their soft runs home.

No way we miss finals if we win 13 games, surely that has never happened before, teams have missed in past with 12 wins but no way with 13 if it happened now we would be the in luckiest club in the world

100% correct, just think there either priming themselves thinking they have a good chance to continue the hoodoo or like Abe put have started tanking, in which case we bank the points and get a little closer to finals action.

Though quite likely only a possible and not 'probable'  you could have this. All depends on how ALL the cards fall...and when !!

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield.
