Should win - Nth, Syd (H), Adel, Coll, Carl, Freo and that will give us 10 wins
Won't win - WB, Rich, Bris, WCE & Geel (all away)
So we need to beat Port in Melbourne and Sydney away, then get out the calculator and hope we sneak into 8th spot
Finals looking unlikely, but would so love to be proven wrong!
Damn... that loss to Essendon, as mentioned by Life Long Saint, was 'devastating'. TBH, I thought we'd lose to Essendon and Melbourne and be like 2-6 by Round 8 and then begin a miracle recovery. I still think we can recover somehow., but....as Mick Thomas says, 'There's a huge gap between our best and worse'. Right on there Mick! Tell it like it is! Geez..
But that Essenndon loss now stings badly..it smarts to remember. Matter of fact, I nominate it for our the 'Top Five Soul-Sucking recent Losses Chart'.
1. Loss to North Melbourne on Good Friday a few years back
2. Loss to Essendon this year
3. Loss to North Melbourne Round One last year
4. Loss to North Melbourne in Hobart very late in Richo's tenure
5. Loss to Fremantle last year
