Interesting how things change over a season - the Roos look more formidable and Freo not so strong at the moment.

Total Wins 16 /15

So far prediction is three out, with two expected wins and one expected loss (not correct), which means one down.

For the remainder of the season, who thinks we can keep going per above. I am sticking to my prediction which means we will end up with 15 not 16 wins.

Re: Realistically, How Many Can We Win

Yeah, some tough games to come still in Geelong, West Coast, Adelaide and the Kangaroos twice, throw in St Kilda who always trouble us. No reason we can't still achieve the target, but we'll have to play well.

Re: Realistically, How Many Can We Win

Do we all think Geelong is the real deal or just mid-season premiers?

Re: Realistically, How Many Can We Win

Hard to say DR. They certainly have the fire power all over the ground to be more than mid-season premiers, and the squad has been close many times - remember them playing Prelims a few years back - and will definitely have a finals proven game plan with some good contested footy, and also the ability to run the lines and score heavily.

They have talent and they're hot right now, but I don't expect their run to continue all the way to September.

Thats right, its just too early to tell, Adelaide dominated 3/4's of last years season only to not really perform in finals. You wouldn't mind being in there position but its really about how much they can improve.

Geelong look good, but a dynamic midfield is still there undoing - they lack depth of leg speed - they have a couple of quick players but a few too many slow ones - although adding Sellwood and Prismall to their team will improve its class, i'm not sure how quick those guys are.

Thats why I think we can match them pretty well and I am confident we can beat them. Whether they can sustain their current run for the whole season remains to be seen.
