Has a lot in common with 2003 Sydney on 30 points after 17 games
After the win against the Dockers, it’s now onto Collingwood this week. Win that game we move onto Adelaide with a bit more optimism. Lose next week we still move onto Adelaide with a little bit less hope. All we can do is 1 week at a time.

So to come.
1 game against top 4 (we have gone 1W1L recently)
2 games against the following throng (2W1L recently) wildcard is GWS on neutral ground
3 games against the bottom of ladder (4W recently)

Yep, i don't see 13 being enough.
Actually, I recently ran one predictor and it's also possible ( most unlikely ) we don't even make it with 14 wins.
I’ve done the ladder predictor 50 times. Picking all the favourites apart from our games we can only lose 1 game because of our percentage.
If there are a couple of upsets we may be able to get in but very unlikely if we lose 2 games. Beat Coll & Adel and we would only have to win one of GWS & Carl. We should beat Rich and North if finals are up for grab.

Well, the most important one did.
It’s such a strange season. On the one hand the sides immediately above us winning (Dogs, Dees, possibly GC here) keeps more clubs in it. On the other hand losses to Port, Pies, Bombers keeps more spots in the 8 up for grabs.
I definitely see Suns beating Port as a positive. port are vulnerable in the 8 and Suns will lose most of their interstate games on the run home

Amazingly brisbane can go top 4 over freo denying us of our top 4 scalp
If they win. Don’t look that impressive right now. It would be the first time higher than 7th this year

Mm, I don’t think we will make it relying on 13 wins and flogging Richmond and North. Would need to beat both of them by 70-plus. Looks like we will need 14 wins.

Doesn’t look likely now too many sides with better percentage ahead of us. All they can do is keep winning even if we don’t it’s not a big deal it will be a good season and a great platform to build off. And an important part of the puzzle to become a place players want to come again to add the missing pieces. If you’d offered me 12 wins at the start and certainly after being 0-5 I would have snapped your hand off!

13 wins won't get us in. We need to win 14. Can only drop 1 more.

Agreed, in some ways, missing finals this year could be a good thing (not that I want to!) in the same way losing to Port ultimately was.
It will give players drive knowing that whilst we played well and are on the path, we need to improve and turn some of
these 1-15 point wins into 30+ and limit losses similarly.

Melbourne looks like the closest percentage to catch up.
It’s still someting like 18 goals to make up though
It’s ‘easier’ to just win.

A lot of teams in the hunt are playing off against each other to finish things off so there will be some forced help coming our way if we can capitalize.

our last game against the Roos in Tassie is still to be scheduled which doesn’t help anyone that may be thinking of travelling with kids

It's a bit of a tangent but round 24 is shaping as a belter if results go the right way with almost every match potentially impacting the shape of the top 4 and 8.
We could even have the bottom three tied on points and playing for percentage to avoid/win the spoon.
Melbourne vs Pies could actually be the least relevant match of the round.......

I am just trying to workout if we win our next ten in a row. Will it mean we beat Essendon in Round 1 next year?
