I don't think we will but what do others think? Dropping out of the top 4 is real possibility if Saturday night's game is anything to go by.
If we can get our best back come September I still think we're a good chance to win the GF even if from 5-8.
The Stephenson saga has thrown the proverbial spanner in the works. |

Would be highly unlikely yet- a legitimate possibility- especially if we continue playing as we have the past 2 months- we have won something like 8-9 quarters over past 8 weeks.
we have a very challenging next 7 weeks- Suns would be the only game I am confident of us winning in current form |

Well, it's not like we haven't been there before. We missed the finals from 8–3 in 2014 and 2015, and Port Adelaide missed the finals from 11–4 last year. We're at 10–4 now. I would say that, if we play like we did against North every week for the rest of the season, we will miss out; but, then, there would hardly be much point in making finals anyway.
Otherwise, there are enough winnable games against teams like Richmond, Gold Coast, Melbourne and Essendon for us to coast through and squeeze in in the lower half of the top 8. I expect us to at least do that. But we'd probably need a significant change in form to stay in the top 4, at this rate. _________________ All watched over by machines of loving grace |

I still think we will only lose up to 3-4 games, so good chance top 4! _________________ Cheers big ears |

If we got any ticker we should not but the next couple of weeks we will be up against it with a lack of depth. Hopefully Elliot does alright and our midfielders can start breaking even out the guts. _________________ " Ohhh Banksy and out comes the Note Book".

We'll scrape into the 8 (and be eliminated 1st week). Top 4 is gone now. Too many injuries, too many movie stars.
The game at Optus is going to be more embarrassing than what Norf served us, thank fck I'm outa town! _________________ Don't count the days, make the days count. |

This coming game will tell us a lot - lose and there goes top 4; win well and top 2 is back on the agenda... _________________ I find your lack of faith disturbing |

Yep. Good. We ain’t winning the flag this year. May as well take a top 10 prospect from the draft. Or did we trade it for Beams??? _________________ Est. 2002 |

We'll be 10-8 going in to round 20 and on a 5 game losing streak.
