I would have been happy with 6-8 wins at the beginning of the season, to have 6 already is amazing!
I reckon 10-12 now, which would see us just miss out on the top 8, but still a far better season than I could have imagined, especially after round 4 !!

Last night on SEN, they were talking about how this year, teams may require 14 wins to make the 8. Its normally 12 but due to the evenness...

I'm pretty sure we used that in a trade ???

Most people think the 8 is set.
6. GWS
7. West Coast
8. Adelaide
GWS were on fire and after I declared they would win the flag have dropped two in a row.
West Coast and Adelaide look great at home but are vulnerable on the road.
We play the Giants away in rd 14 and the other two at the G in rd 16 and 17.
If we beat the saints and pies as we should on current form and win 2 of those 3 we will be in a good position.
It works out well that we have to beat the teams we want to replace.

We passed on the Hendo pick to GWS for pick 8 last year (McKay)
We do have the Doggies 3rd round pick for this year up our sleeve though.

Might be an opportune time for some people to revisit their thoughts on finals.
If we can't beat St. Blunda, then we are not worthy of playing finals and certainly won't win enough games to qualify.
We are a young team on the rise albeit it a slow one. However, we are still prone to brainfades & burnout purely due to inexperience and lack of battle fitness.
Naturally we should be aiming to win every match we play but having genuine intensity and competitiveness every week is so much more important to us right now.
