In English?like you'd have as break if plow played last game?

Young teams almost never play as well in the second half of the season.
I agree that we should have won at least 3 more games this season already. The fact that we choked pretty hard in a couple of them shows me we arent ready to take the next step (which is to run out a 4th qtr and put teams away when we have the chance).
I would bet my house at $1.05 we wont win 9 games for the season.
How much would you bet, on us not having 6 wins at the end of the year?
Depends on the odds. Some chance we get six.
Barring injuries to Crippa or Kreuzer, you would be stealing. (6, easy, 9 not unreasonable)Even money?
Forgot Adelaide MCG Murph...I think looking at the teams we play for the rest of the year 6-8 more wins wouldn’t be out of the question if we have a descent run with injury.
We play Saints twice, Bulldogs again, Gold Coast again, Sydney, Bombers, Eagles at MCG, Freo, Brisbane, would be a chance in all of those given gradual improvement between now and end of the year.
Our run up to the bye should give us a good idea at where we are at.
Wouldn't that be tasty to beat the cows.Forgot Adelaide MCG Murph...
Rd 19 Saturday 27July MCG 2.10pm Had it penciled since the fixture releaseWouldn't that be tasty to beat the cows.
Would love to improve as the season goes on pick up some good wins and knock them over along the wayWouldn't that be tasty to beat the cows.

...But...the odds kinda ARE that we taper off... because we're young.Look at the team we're compared to a lot these days - Brisbane. They didn't just play 'as well' in the second half of 2018. They played better.
5 wins for the year, with 4 of them coming after the bye - as well as two losses under a goal.
That's not to say we'll follow suit, but it can happen. It does happen.
I read something today that interested me and had me thinking along these lines - we're planning on using Gibbons more in the middle in the second half of the year. And it wouldn't surprise if we did the same with Ed and even Murphy, who have been mainstays over the years but somewhat cast aside in favour of youth thus far in 2019. I have no doubt that will help as the season progresses and the kids tire.
I agree with you that 9 wins this year seems a bit of a stretch, but I do see more wins coming. I don't think it's as simple as saying we're a young team and therefore we'll just taper off.
We threw Suns game away,thats one.Other games we were allowed to tag along to a certain extent....Young teams almost never play as well in the second half of the season.

With you on Doc......AA flew very high for a short period of time14 games left. I expect about 7 wins from that. More hopefully.
Not sure where 8 wins would leave us. Maybe about 14th or 13th.
If we had not lost Docherty and Pickett pre-season and some untimely in game injuries, I reckon we would have won about half our games.
It is important this week to put in a good game to back up last round after the poor game v North. This week is probably our toughest game for season. We run into Giants just as they get their main ruck back and prime move of ball in Whitfield and we play them on their home deck. They are dirty on themselves from last week dropping a game so we not run into them in complacent mood. A good showing even if we do not win will be good sign we can start to win games against teams more beatable in the coming rounds.
7 wins for season will be a pass from me considering injuries we had.
If we win half our games from here can set us up for next season to be ready to develop further and win over 50% of games in 2020 and probably make finals with Russell another pre-season to get youngsters more ready for four quarters of football each week.

we need Doc back...even a limited role would be good...he can general the back half.
Pickett....not really hey
He was hot during NEAFL pretrade to CFC...and yes he was quick and evasive,still would be
However he has shown no indication at AFL level......no breakout,work ethic issues etc etc......does not get the ball enough at all
no.4 pick......he could still make it,at a rookie draft with motivational training and tank development,major overhaul .....maybe get a running coach etc and monitored etc.....
One injury away from oblivion and another spoon - cripps. Otherwise 15th.
