Looking at the ladder we sit outside the 8 clearly the best team in the bottom 8.
We have a great run home with 7 games at the G, and Brisbane and Carlton at the dome.
11 or 12 wins normally gets you in the 8.
We need another 6 or 7.
On current form these wins should hopefully come from:
Round 11: Roos, 12: Hawks, 15: demons, 19: lions, 20: blues, 21: dons.
Out of Freo and Melbourne (the 2 most likely not to make the finals), can our young guns do it?
The demons have:
Round 10: Saints at G (loss)
11: Magpies at home (loss)
12: Essendon at dome (win)
13: Port at MCG (win)
14: Lions at Gabba (loss)
15: Tigers at G (loss?)
16: Freo at subiaco (loss)
17: Dogs at G (loss?)
18: Blues at dome (win)
19: Sydney at G (loss)
20: Roos at G (win)
21: Cats at Geelong (?)
22: Adelaide at AAMI (loss)
That would put them at 9 or 10 wins.
The cockers have:
Round 11: Dogs at the dome (Loss)
12: Geelong at home (win)
13: Sydney at SCG (Loss)
14: Essendon at home (win)
15: Magpies at MCG (loss)
16: Demons at home (win)
17: Carlton at dome (?)
18: Hawks at home (win)
19: Crows at AAMI (big loss)
20: Saints at home (?)
21: Weagles at home (loss?)
22: Port at home (win)
Probably 11 or 12 wins only because of their home ground advantage.
So at this stage yes it is hypothetical but our fate rests in our hands at this stage of the season, lets keep it that way and not have to rely on other results.
The R15 game against the Demons will probably determine where we finish as long as we continue playing as we have recently.
