    They aren't at the same level as us... we come with the right mindset, and a little fresher in the legs and we win this one with a bit left in the tank.

    Will be interesting to see if that has changed in 2021
    They should have been in the GF in 2019 - lost by 3 points to GWS who should not have had Greene playing (should have been suspended).
    Given our injuries and question marks in defence I'm surprised they're not GF favourites. I rate them higher than Melbourne.

    We beat them comfortably earlier in the year
    If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

    We may become the only premiere to play mainly Sundays.

    Without Naughton, not as sure about this, but hope you are right.

    Including this round:
    Friday 6
    Saturday 4
    Sunday 6

    This week and the previous 2 have tipped the balance. A victim of circumstance this week with the 5 day break and covid travel considerations with other matches. We should have some more Friday and Saturday games coming up hopefully.

    Not sure on that. If they have a good July they will be right in contention for finals.

    Re: How Many More Wins Left In The H&A?

    Based on a quick ladder predictor, I have us needing 5 more wins to get us a top 4 spot. Obviously a lot can play out in 7 more games but if we get 5 out of 7 we should guarantee top 4. There is going to be a clear top 5 and then a clear 6-8 if things go to current form.

    Re: How Many More Wins Left In The H&A?

    I think if Melb lose tonight, it’s quite possible they will miss the top 4. With 7 games to go, I have the wins as the following…

    Bulldogs - 5
    Bris - 7
    Melb - 4
    Port - 6
    Geel - 6

    Make the top 5

    Brisbane - 72 points
    Bulldogs - 68
    Geel- 68
    Port- 68
    ——————
    Melb - 64
    I will never see #16 the same!!

    I don’t want Geelong. Port need to boost their percentage.

    Feeling ok here

    I do indeed, but Sydney isn’t one of them
    I think Naughton is a huge out.

    That, and Melb at the G are my 2 dogs losses.

    Brisbane have a fairly easy run home so are the danger for our top spot.
    Actually, the top 5 in general have fairly easy draws unfortunately.

    What WE don’t want, is to see us slip up against sides we start favourites against.
    It would be nice if Bris and Geel were to lose the odd one when they shouldn’t.

    I reckon your analysis is pretty spot on mate!

    I would hate to play the cats or lions at home for a final - so a top 2 spot I think is really important for obvious reasons.

    Having said that - I’d be furious if the AFL gifted the cats a home final against us at a ground that only holds c.35k

    Re: How Many More Wins Left In The H&A?

    Agree Ashmac. We do not want to be playing down there.
    Ideally we would finish top and play Port. That’s our best shot for first week.

    God forbid, we certainly don’t want Bris at the Gabba for a prelim.
