Well exactly as the subject line suggests..
I've been a long time doubter but imo I think we can just about finally call it, we're going to the finals... after all these years... finally
What's your opinion, can we do it.. could we even win the flag, where in the 8 do you think we'll finish based on the rest of our draw, and what's our most competitive/balanced line up from here on in or in fact any other opinions - go!!! _________________ All Aboard!! Choo Choo!!! |

Eighth if we're lucky unless Sidebottom, Crisp and Adams, who have played the game long enough, eliminate kicking the ball to the opposition, in which case we're guaranteed to become premiers. |

Abstaining from voting, simply because the footy gods via injury can have such a telling effect. So far, we've managed to cover the injuries we've sustained, but those footy gods can be bloody cruel. |

I honestly believe we can push for top 4.
We beat Melbourne next week and come out of the bye with 3 games to fine tune before the WCE at the G.
Beat them and the lid is well and truly off!

After round 11, we have won 7 of 9 against sides outside the 8 and lost to both sides we played who are in the 8.
You can only beat what is in front of you, but our tests have yet to come. |

Our win today was good, but we’re not a top 8 side on form yet, and there’s no guarantee that we’ll even be able to maintain this level. Win next week and I might start to believe; until then, my expectation remains that we’ll finish somewhere around the 9–12 mark. _________________ "Every time we witness an injustice and do not act, we train our character to be passive in its presence." – Julian Assange |

Win 3 of the next 4 and we're very likely to play finals. Any less than that and we probably won't. Our end to the season is tough.
So far we've done well to keep our heads above water despite a long injury list. A softer draw has helped that, but we've shown a more sustainable game style and our forward line, in particular, has continued to function despite being continually undermanned. Becoming a strong running side has allowed us to score easier goals and to operate with a more open forward line, allowing our smaller types to bob up with bags. This has been key to sustaining performance even when missing key personnel. _________________ Well done boys! |

I've abstained from voting, just like PP.
In 2014 and 2015, we were 8-3 after 11 games and yet missed the finals in those years so I don't want to tempt fate especially with a tough run home in the last third of the season.
To be 7-4 is a great credit to the players and coaching staff after we were 0-2, and hopefully we can sustain this run of form heading into the second half of the season. _________________ | 1902 | 1903 | 1910 | 1917 | 1919 | 1927 | 1928 | 1929 | 1930 | 1935 | 1936 | 1953 | 1958 | 1990 | 2010 | 2023 | |

Very pesimistic David. I think our 'form' has been sensational! Wins in Adelaide and Brisbane, a 7-4 record and a pretty sweet run home to cap it off... all this with continual turover of players & hardly a game where we've finished with a full bench!
We WILL win against; GC, Carlton, Lions, Essendon, Power & Freo. That gives us at least 13 wins.
Sure, The D's are a challenge this week, but we CAN beat them!
The Eagles at the G is very winnable, as are our bitches at the SCG!
We matched it with the Tigers until we tired in the last qaurter, so why can't we beat them in the return match?
That just leaves the Kangas... again, a winnable game.
Top 4 is a very, very real possibility people! _________________ Don't count the days, make the days count. |

My left nut says we will finish 6th, win one final, and probably go out in a blaze of glory. ! That would kinda do me, a taste of finals, next year, make top four, make the Prelim, following season, we make the Big Dance, and we win it. !! Well, that's my take on it anyway. _________________ Poverty exists not because we cannot feed the poor, but because we cannot satisfy the rich.

Next week is huge, but we should play finals. We are not a top side but our draw is so soft, it’s nearly impossible to not make finals.
Even the Kangaroos game should just about be in our favour, it’s at the G, we’ve usually done pretty well against them there |
