Where does a win this weekend leave us?
If we carry last week’s form and win against the hawks, where does it leave our season?
Is there a chance of getting it back on track with 2 wins a draw and 3 losses
Or does the horrific nature of those 3 losses leave us in the Poo?
I reckon a win against the hawks helps but doesn’t necessarily get us out of jail.
A follow up win the following week against the dees (yes the mystical 2 in a row) and I’d argue the sins of the first few rounds could be forgotten
Obviously a loss of any kind this weekend (especially a poor one) and we are stuffed!

We can win the next 4 games (Hawks, Demons, Freo, Pies)*
*If we play like we did against the Giants and if we can convert better

As ex-president Peter Summers said:

No it’s better to ignore that fact and the reality GWS had plenty of scoring chances to put us out of the game.SydneySainter wrote:And if the opposition kick as badly as the Giants.Jacks Back wrote:We can win the next 4 games (Hawks, Demons, Freo, Pies)*

It’s easier just to focus on the Carlisle incident and say “wees weres robbed” and dismiss the fact we hadn’t led since the early part of the third term

Re: Where does a win this weekend leave us?
The Giants kicking was poor but keep in mind they had 5 rushed behinds to our 1. So it wasn't much worse than ours.
And anyway you look at it, we stuck with a quality team for most of the game and were able to pile on three goals to nothing in the last ten minutes to almost snatch it.

Re: Where does a win this weekend leave us?
Win leaves us well and truly in the hunt.
I think 12 and a half wins could make the 8.
A loss and the season is basically over in terms of finals hopes.

A win this week leaves us 2 points behind where we should have been, and still in the hunt.
A loss means we have to have 2 “unexpected” wins to get back on track.
If we lose, I think we seriously need to make a call on which of our kids are going to be part of our future and start investing in them. Too many guys have been on the list for 3 or more years that don’t look like becoming established players any time soon.
I also hope they have a go at completely reinventing the game plan. I’d rather lose by 5 or 6 goals but scoring 100+ points a game in an attacking style rather than lose a close game playing a defensive style scoring less than 10 goals a game. At least give us some kind of enjoyment.

Re: Where does a win this weekend leave us?
Win leaves us exactly where we are now. Stuffed.
Losing to North was the season right there.
Can't expect to lose by 10 goals.to a bottom 8 side and then play finals.
Our season died that day.
Gws Suk at Etihad/Melbourne
They shouldve smashed us. We can't keep.upthat pressure every round.
Hawks will smash us

Probably a game and a half out of the eight.
