Predictions first 5 rounds - How many wins

[bornadog]

[azabob]

I went 2 wins - Saints and Lions.

As soon as the fixture dropped it appeared a very very tough start to the year.

Nothing has changed my mind and I wouldn't be surprised to see us one and four.

[Happy Days]

Five. Dees all hate each other and are irredeemably busted, Saints suck, Lions will be bored to death by Dunk’s chat on the plane over, Tigers suck, Power suck.

Light work.

[Grantysghost]

0 and 5 and the naysayers naying.

That's a tough start, I reckon Saints and Lions we will win. Melbourne too.

Tigers we never beat, Port will be hard at home.

3-2.

[bornadog]

Ever the optimist I went with 5, but could easily drop a few.

[Axe Man]

I can't see 5-0 or 0-5 being likely.

2-3 or 3-2 the most probable for mine but hoping for 4-1. 1-4 would be disappointing after the positivity of pre-season.

Where is the option for 0 wins for Dog God?

[Mofra]

I chose 3 wins;St Kilda, Richmond and Port - I don't 'trust' them to perform. They might, but you couldn't bank on it.

Melbourne are having an incredible pre-season and the Lions look primed. They worry me

[Matjoh]

We've been poor starters for a while [bar '21 but 3 of those were v teams finishing bottom 3] so Im going 2. Saints, port. Dees and lions look pretty strong and we're often ordinary v tigers, but could maybe snatch the tigers one.

[BornInDroopSt'54]

So the stats so far a classic bell curve wirh my 3 as the most frequent.
Tough start but we will get better and our fitness will hopefully peak just before finals.

[Rocket Science]

One win, because forming new chemistry takes time but more pressingly, how on earth can you trust us?

[ratsmac]

I went with 5, why not. If there is ever a time to be optimistic it's in Feb!

Melb- They are due for a shocking season.
Saints- If we can't beat them pack it up.
Lions- Us against Dunks at home, we'll win
Tigers- Too old too slow. Bolton scares me though.
Port- We've just won 4 in a row to start the season, we aren't stopping now!!

[GVGjr]

I think we are 3 wins perhaps 4 in the first 5 weeks. Great platform to build upon.

[Happy Days]

So I actually had a proper look at the draw. In the first six rounds we cop:

- 4 finals teams, 2 top 4 teams from last year
- a 5 day break in round 3 against Brisbane
- both of Richmond and Melbourne at the MCG
- an away game against Port in Gather Round when everyone else gets a neutral game (or the Crows which is even softer)
- a 6 day break before Freo in Perth, coming between consecutive interstate trips

What the hell. Whose dog did we run over?

6-0 baby!

[jazzadogs]

1 is a disaster.
2 sets us up to be sneak into the 8 again.
3 says bottom half of the 8, but comfortably.
4 or 5 says top 4.

I think 2 or 3 is most likely, but it's a tough start to the year.
