    Re: Our next 5

    The HUN has worked through all the likely scenario's and have us finishing 10th. Lets see if we can prove them wrong.

    8. WESTERN BULLDOGS (8-6, 120.9%)
    TAB ODDS: Premier $21, Top 8 $2.20, Top 4 $12

    R16: Brisbane (Gabba) L

    R17: Sydney (SCG) L

    R18: St Kilda (Marvel) W

    R19: Melbourne (Marvel) L

    R20: Geelong (GMHBA) L

    R21: Fremantle (Marvel) L

    R22: GWS (Marvel) W

    R23: Hawthorn (UTAS) W

    Predicted finish: 10th

    Last year’s grand finalists have put themselves back in the finals hunt, winning five of their past six matches including a 42-point triumph over Hawthorn last Friday night. But the real challenges start now. The Bulldogs have a 2-3 record against fellow current top-eight sides this year and face five top-eight teams in the next six weeks, plus a St Kilda side which is fighting to return to the top-eight after a mid-season form slump. It’s hard to see them winning five of their last eight games to make the finals cut given the quality opposition they face.

    It's fairly straightforward. We must win the 3 games we are meant to and turn at least 2 of those Ls into Ws. Thankfully our percentage is fairly healthy.

    A win tomorrow night will put us ahead of the game somewhat.

    I see the Sydney game and Dockers game our best opportunities to turn the L into W.

    The captain obvious statement is it would be bloody sweet to beat the cats at kardina park..

    Re: Our next 5

    I had us losing to Brisbane, Dees and Cats and coming 8th. Winning this week could be massive and for the first time all season might take a (very very tiny) little bit of pressure off. Which all things considered might be a bad thing?

    Honestly who knows with this group.
