Where will we finish - 2016

[Mantis]

I see this game against St Kilda as crucial to finishing top 4. Win this and we finish top four, lose and it's 5th or 6th.

Aren't all our remaining games 'crucial' for our final ladder position?

Yep. Considering we need to win basically every game to guarantee top 4.

We keep winning and we can't be kicked out of top 4. I hate relying on other teams losing.

Considering we will start favourite in all remaining games, except probably against Geelong, we'll see what the side is made of over the next 6 weeks.

The competition is very tight, but if we want to separate from the pack, the next 6 weeks is the perfect opportunity.

We have 4 games at Etihad, one at Kardinia Park and a visit to WA. Should be interesting. We have never won more than 16 games since the 22 home and away was introduced. I am hoping we break that record this year.

For the record, we did win 16 h&a games in 1985 and in 1992.

They were our best campaigns, which we could equal with 5 wins from 6, our surpass with 6 from 6.

Thanks PP, my memory fails me, I will edit the post

We've had 12 wins - 5 more would give us 17.

[The Pie Man]

I've got us finishing 6th on 16 wins - % separating 2nd and 6th. Home final vs WCE

If it pans out as per my prediction, damn it'd be a good first round of finals.

1 Haw vs 4 Gee
2 GWS vs 3 Syd
5 Adel vs 8 NM
6 WB vs 7 WCE

If Port can win the Showdown, they'll likely be in a position to knock North out

If we can win all our games, I see us finishing 2nd - that's the slippery slope of this final 8. Finishing 6th and winning an elimination final would also mean a potential semi in Sydney

[LostDoggy]

We've had 12 wins - 5 more would give us 17.

True. Wow, what a staggering season given the injuries and young list.

Yes if we could get to 17 wins that is an excellent achievement for our side which is still very young and with like you say PP the injuries we've had to contend with losing our captain Bob Murphy, Stewart out for a 1 year and quite a few others. Will be very good having someone like Marcus Adams return in our defence.
