    Our 2nd half of Season 2019 - what will happen?

    We currently sit 4-6 and have 16 points and sit 13th on the AFL ladder

    With the daunting task of the Eagles in Perth this Sunday here is who we have after the Round 12 bye. What will happen? Will be give it a red hot shake and try and push for finals or will be still around where we are right now? Injuries this year haven’t been too bad but we have struggled in games that I expected we would win and beat Richmond who have had injuries and are in good form.

    All loseable too. Truly the ultimate potluck of tragedy and euphoria.

    If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

    11/11 would make it interesting.

    Hmmm. Gut says that's a touch ambitious ...

    R13 v Blues Marvel (A) WIN
    Surely. Then again their only points this year came against us so if they're ever going to fancy themselves ...

    R14 v Magpies Marvel (H) LOSS
    Pies building. We were valiant until it mattered last time but they'll be in a less forgiving mood for this one.

    R15 v Power Adelaide Oval (A) LOSS
    One of those mobs we're capable of beating on a good day but won't quite manage it. Probably Dixon's welcome back party.

    L R16 v Cats Marvel (H) LOSS
    Ugh.

    W R17 v Demons Marvel (H) LOSS
    If they're going to make any headway this season it'll need to be over the next half a dozen mostly softish games. We'll oblige them.

    W R18 v Saints Marvel (A) WIN
    It'll be a scrappy eyesore of a battle but we'll sneak home against a pretty ordinary outfit.

    W R19 v Dockers Marvel (H) WIN
    A coin toss. Why not us? Wait don't answer that.

    L R20 v Lions Gabba (A) LOSS
    Yeah nah. They'll be sniffing a long unsighted finals berth and be very much up and about at home. Cameron to run amok.

    W R21 v Bombers Marvel (A) LOSS
    Likewise, we'll be fodder for their hopefully ill-fated finals push. Jakey to get off the chain as he likes to against average opposition.

    L R22 v Giants Spotless (A) LOSS
    Completely outclassed by a probable top-2 side at a ground we don't like unless it's a prelim.

    L R23 v Crows Ballarat (H) LOSS
    We kicked 2.14 the last time we played them. TOTAL. We kicked 5.15 the time before that. Neither went well.

    7 and 15 here we come. Hey we'll likely get another top 6 pick though.

    R13 Blues - W
    R14 Pies - L
    R15 Power - L
    R16 Cats - L
    R17 Demons - W
    R18 Saints - W
    R19 Dockers - W
    R20 Lions - L
    R21 Bombers - L
    R22 Giants - L
    R23 Crows - L

    Realistically another 4 wins at best which will give us an 8-14 win/loss ratio on 32 points. Be great to be wrong but can’t see a miracle happening now.

    15-7 if we won all our game after the bye.

    15-7 the win loss ratio we had in 2016 and then we went on to win the flag. We just need to win every game now and will be premiers!

    That's an indisputable fact.

    I can remember saying to you just before the finals started in 2016 that all we had to do was win the next four games and I had seen us win four games in a row plenty of times in the past so I was very confident that we could win the premiership. But just between you and me I wasn't that confident...

    Looking now I think we'll beat the Saints and Crows. I think Carlton will rip us apart again. We'll cause an upset or two along the way. My guess maybe 3 or 4 wins out of those and I'm being optimistic, fair chance we win only half of that.
