Interesting road ahead.

We play 6 of the top 8 in our run home.
I like this.
It will show us where we are at.
Starting this week with GWS.
GWS are the experts at fast footy and it
will be interesting to see how we handle their style of play.

It will certainly be and interesting ride. It certainly goes a lot deeper that just how many wins we achieve. Structure, game plan and efficiency are good starting points

I'm also glad there's no easy run home. And winning can instil belief and confidence so I'm hopeful, but not confident.

I just want to see Broomhead and Marsh get to play as many games as possible, though no more injuries overall would be nice.

Got a notion after round 15 we know where we are at and it aint pretty. Winnable games "on paper" may be:

* Gold Coast'
* St. Kilda
* Richmond

May stretch the Eagles at the MCG and we seem to have a good record against the Roos.

Can't see us troubling:

* GWS (away)
* Adelaide (away)
* Bulldogs (Etihad: our favourite venue)
* Hawks (unless they tank and rest players)

From where we are sitting now it would be nice to graft out 10 wins and set a platform for next year.

We don't play st kilda again this year. I also reckon we're a chance in the last round vs the Hawks, they may rest a heap. Get on a few weeks out at long odds.

If you look at who plays who we are pretty much likely to finish where we are now. 11th.

Just want some grunt.

Go for it boys and shake 'em up! We might not be able to make the 8 but we can sure as hell have a say it how it finishes!

GO PIES!!

I'll look ahead with the hope we can cause at least one upset, possibly 2.

GWS - Will probably become our first loss to the newest team. I dont think it will be a smashing like many expect.

CROWS - Another tough task outside of Melb. Crows are a fantastic side. Ahh remember the days where we were a dominant travelling side?

ROOS - I think we can beat them. Kangas will be favourites, but I really think we could do it if we play at our best.

WCE - They've only ever beaten us once at the MCG. We can win this. Even our last game in Perth was competitive until that Smith slip. They ran over us in the last quarter. It'll be interesting if NicNat is back. WCE will be favs.

TIGERS - This one we can and should win. We escaped with a last second win last time. So the Tigs will want some kind of revenge. But we should be a more settled side this time.

DOGS - If only this was at the G. We almost had them last time until we lost 4 players to injury. A healthy Collingwood could do it, but I feel like the Dogs have become a top 4 team.

SUNS - Can and should win this. Dont know what else to say.

HAWKS - Will we ever beat this side again? A top 4 spot could be on the line for them. So this will be another tough game to win.

Just remember, we beat the Cats when we were heavily written off. So on our day, we can beat almost anyone.

I don't know why... but I've got a funny feeling about this week's game against GWS. I have a feeling an upset is on the cards.

I would love to beat hawks in round 23 to make them miss the top 4.
