Re: How Many More Wins?
If we play like we did in the 1st half last night, we'll win 6 of the last 7 and maybe all 7.
If we play like we did in the 2nd half last night, we'll win none of them.

What about if in the next 7 we put in one good half, and then a bad half?

We'll be closer to the zero wins than the 7 wins.

Yep that pretty much sums up the potential scarnarios.

Got a bit back today which was good. We need to continue it on. Our draw looks ok. Big opportunities the next few weeks against the Suns, Bombers and Lions which all are winnable games. The Giants haven't impressed me at all this year and at home I give us very chance then Port in Ballarat and we finish with the Hawks at Etihad.

If we do beat GWS and Port I will be confident of not just making finals, but being a flag threat
If we lose to both, we probably miss the 8
If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

Tough task master Easty. The Giants have had an absolute bastard of an injury run and sit third. They're deserving of the type of credit we lamented not getting last year when we were in the midst of ours.

Maybe it's because it's the Giants but yeah if they got their stuff in order they certainly would be a threat. The prelim final yes was a bloody tough game for sure.

Definitely tough games based on how we have travelled this year but it wouldn't surprise me if we won 1 of them. Hopefully we can get the next 3 but will just take it 1 week at a time and focus on the Suns this Saturday.

Re: How Many More Wins?
Depending on other results we could need 6 more wins to get in due to our poor %.
5 wins and we still rely on other results going our way
4 wins and its all over im afraid.
So i basically see it as needing to win every game from here to make the 8. Not going to happen. That eagles loss was just diabolical and crucial given that it's probably their spot we will most likely take if we made the 8.

If we get 5 wins and finish on 13 we make the finals.
12 wins we miss out due to percentage which we essentially can't make up anymore.

Yep. And i had us 9th on % with 13 wins. We missed out on % to west coast. Of course, the ladder predictor is fraught with danger, especially this year. But there are a number of teams i have finishing with 13 wins.
