Prediction Walking the tightrope - The Run Home

[LukeParkerno1]

We will need to win every game and hope Port drops a few as their percentage is 25% higher than ours so effectively 2 games ahead.

We will drop a game somewhere down the line or does anyone seriously think we will end up with a 12 win streak?

Don't see why we can't go on a 15 match streak and win the flag from 4th. I don't buy this "you need a loss"...we had 6 of them a the start, that was plenty! We'd need to belt a few sides coming home and hope Port drop 1 at least.

 

[CheapCharlie]

We will drop at least one game... maybe 2

 

[AG]

Just want to make finals and hope the top 4 all keep winning to make sure we grab 5th or 6th.

4th is probably too much to ask for after 0-6. Surely lol

Nothing is impossible the way results have gone this season!

need richmond to beat gws. unless port lose this week we're probably unlikely to take their position in the top 4.

Richmond will get flogged. They never do anything right.

Prefer GWS to win now...

 

[GoTheSwannies]

Prefer GWS to win now...

You think? I figure if tigers win then we technically have 3 teams 1 game ahead of us, 2 of which we need to lose. Otherwise, if gws win, we need to rely on port dropping 1 more game than we do or gws dropping 2 more than us.

Either way, I think it's a moot point. Very little faith in richmind winning it.

 

[PVF]

Yeah if we want top 4 we pretty much have to win out.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Richmond lose and we win all our games. Perfect.

 

[GoTheSwannies]

need richmond to beat gws. unless port lose this week we're probably unlikely to take their position in the top 4.

and there we have it. didnt think both were possible, but in a season that keeps on giving this was the perfect round.

now we have 3 teams to chase on pretty much equal footing.

top four is ours for the taking if we remain focused on the prize. we also play 2 of our rivals for the flag and go into finals knowing exactly where we stand.

could be the fairy tale ending that'll put the dogs to shame.

lets do it swans!

This may sound counter-intuitive but I reckon we need to lose a game if we're going to go deep into finals.

Why? I've never gotten why people have this line of thinking.

Yeah, we've had our fill of losses already. Keep winning thanks.

We gave up the chance of a luxury loss at 0-6.

Look at West Coast today. Having a loss just boots you from the 8 at this point.

We've won 7 on the trot. If we went undefeated that would require 14 in a row if I am not mistaken. How many teams have managed to do that?

We've had 7 losses that's enough.

How many teams have made the finals from 0-6? We are exploring uncharted waters, going where no team has gone before!

We can do anything!!!

Brisbane went 17 in a row to win the premiership in 2001.

 

[Tuco]

Brisbane were 1-4 in 2001.

They won 17 games and 3 finals so ended up having a 20-1 run into their flag.

At least we only have to be about that good.

Carlton in 1995 went 16-0 including 3 finals to win the GF.

When you keep winning, confidence within the team grows to the point that it becomes easier to win than to lose.

Why? I've never gotten why people have this line of thinking.

That's like I don't understand all the posts saying "I think Sydney will run out of steam in finals", "if they make it it would of taken too much of a toll" etc etc. Sydney are playing the same amount of games as everybody else. Why would a long stretch of wins make them run out of gas?

I have also enjoyed reading "our speed will trouble them" week in week out.

Worked last year.
We went deep into finals & lost the last one.
