Haha not quite, but I’d be slightly worried if we were to lose the next 4 and then hit the batch of games we SHOULD win, but just can’t get it down.
I’ll take your scenario mate and live the dream.

Round 11 Fri 28 May 7:50pm Demons Marvel Stadium- Lineball, I think we can win it but it'll be a slog.
Round 12 Sun 6 Jun 4:40pm Dockers Optus Stadium- We should win but might be tough over there
Round 14 Sat 19 Jun 12:00pm Cats GMHBA Stadium- Cats in Geelong will be tough but we're a better team
Round 15 Sat 26 Jun 12:00pm Eagles Optus Stadium- Difficult proposition, don't think we can win it
Round 16 Sat 3 Jul 12:00pm Kangaroos Marvel Stadium- Things would have to fall apart to lose that
Round 17 Sat 10 Jul 12:00pm Swans Marvel Stadium- I think that we should be able to account for the Swans at Marvel
Round 18 Sat 17 Jul 12:00pm Suns Metricon Stadium- Suns aren't as bad as their record suggests but I still have us winning
Round 19 Sat 24 Jul 12:00pm Crows Mars Stadium- Ditto for the Crows, comes down to which Crows come to play as their worst is abysmal and their best is awesome.
Round 20 Sat 31 Jul 12:00pm Demons MCG- Another lineball game, would not be shocked if we split the games one apiece. Demon's have had a very good injury run so things could change over two months
Round 21 Sat 7 Aug 12:00pm Bombers Marvel Stadium- They can knock off good teams when they're on but they'd need to drag us down to their level.
Round 22 Sat 14 Aug 12:00pm Hawks UTAS Stadium- Cannot see a loss, Hawks are pretty insipid.
Round 23 Sat 21 Aug 12:00pm Power Marvel Stadium- Should win this, Power aren't anywhere near as threatening away from Adelaide and they got a lot of lucky calls against us.
I'd put us down for 7 more wins.

Bye
I’m thinking 16-17 wins in total, which should still be top 2. Week after week, post the bye, we get good players back which should keep us improving post bye.
Depends what happens with lockdown. If we're sent to a hub for the remainder of the season, or a big chunk of it, another 4-5 wins is on the cards.
I think we can get 6 more for sure. 15 wins should be top 4.
We Should be able to win 8 more at minimum. Six teams outside the 8 and at least 2 of 5 in 8, if not more
5-6 more wins.

Round 23 Sat 21 Aug 12:00pm Power Marvel Stadium - Win
Well we're back on track to where I thought we'd be at this point. It's easy to underestimate how good a win tonight's was, and while I get it wasn't perfect and that we were slightly lucky with Fremantle's injuries late in the game it was a good win and we maintain touch with top spot.
