Prediction Wins this season? After first 3 rounds?

[RooStu15]

Lol. You mean the “completely stoppable” force meets the “very movable object”.

If I could like that more than once I would. 3-5 if we have a bit of luck and fair umpiring

 

[JGreezy]

The backline while a problem isn't the problem.

We got absolutely smacked in the middle in the first half which was much more concerning.

We'll improve on that, too. And have some dominant games.

Which midfield - other than West Coast's - do you see us dominating? I presume you are talking about 2024?

 

[Horizons_00]

2 wins against west coast

Finish bottom 2

 

[Heaps of fun]

Anyone else think it's a shame we play every weekend?

Genuinely think we’ll win doughnuts

Dude seriously... Before the start of the season and if you were being genuinely honest, could you see us winning any of our games up until this point?

This is how I saw it:

GWS Away - No chance. Possible heavy loss.
Freo Home - 50/50.
Carlton Home - No chance. MacKay and Curnow will kill us.
Brisbane - No chance.
Cats Away - Very unlikely even though I don't rate the Cats this year.

The AFL has dealt us a Sh*t Sandwich for the start of our year. 3 of last years Preliminary Finalists in the first 4 weeks!

Our season starts the following week against the Hawks. This will tell the story of whether we are able to take our opportunity to bag a win or whether our confidence has been diminished after several hidings against top teams.

 

[Better Loosen Up]

Errr... That was me. I was pretty confident. I usually expect the team to win even when I think they might not.

Yeah, you need to stop doing that to yourself...

This is what I'm worried about. If I see the team dropping their heads and losing to teams who are more on our level I'll be livid. This round 1-5 run sucks immensely for us but I don't want it killing our season outright. The Hawks so far look pretty bad but they do fire up and refuse to give in, and that could very well get them the win over us. Don't let them do it!

Which year?

6 wins, 4 in the back half of the year.

 

[Epictetus]

No excuses not to beat West Coast. Zero. I don't care if that game is played on the moon.

Should be confident against Hawthorn, but who amongst us is confident?

Surely sneak one against a few of Richmond, Essendon, GC.

And then a random one against a good side.

 

[Horace]

I think we will win 4 - 6 games. As Better Loosen Up just said, we have been handed a shocking early season draw.

 

[Passmore]

What's so annoying about our draw is most of our winnable games are towards the end of the season, so we might decide to be tanking by then, or our confidence will have been shot from the rough start by facing the contenders.

Hopefully we come home with a wet sail.

I wouldn't be concerned about tanking either. If we didn't tank the most tankable match in the history of tanking last year we never will.

Hawthorn we are a chance but then again they aren’t in the worst form

Richmond are playing good footy even though they have shitloads of injuries now!

Bombers no way and GC will beat us easily

Don't worry Liam Ryan will be back just in time to kick a lazy 8 on us and get them over the line.

 

[Ball Dont Lie]

I reckon we go 14/20 so finish about 5th or 6th.

 

[Possession]

Those two wins at the start of last season really were like a carrot on a stick that got me through that twenty loss streak... the uncertainty of this season so far is unsettling. I feel like Adelaide in Hobart might be more likely than Hawthorn right now.

I was quite confident the last 2 times against Hawthorn..both were 8 goal losses.

They have no real reason to be concerned about us atm

 

[chubbspeterson]

I reckon 5 or 6 wins for sure. I can see us beating a few teams we maybe shouldn't from Suns/Swans/Bombres/Crows/Dogs/Saints.
WCE, Hawks, Bombres and Tigers are the most winnable games but we could split some of them.
The Optus WCE game is the kinda game where the AFL puts the call in if they're winless and we take the L or Clarko might give Simmon a bit of a chop out lol.

True. However, we can’t let all our 50-50 games slip like with Freo.

 

[Marstermind]

A disappointing start to the year no doubt. Three tough games, but only 2 quarters won, all games shot to bits by 3/4 time, and a 40+ average losing margin. But in an effort to add some context to the tough start... The 2023 H&A wins minus wins by 2024 opponents so far ladder!!

13 - Port Adelaide
12.5 - Carlton
12 - GWS
11 - Collingwood
10 - Brisbane Lions
10 - Fremantle
9.5 - Geelong
9 - Melbourne
7 - St.Kilda
7 - Western Bulldogs
7 - Essendon
6.5 - Sydney
6 - Gold Coast
3 - Adelaide
0.5 - Richmond
-1 - Hawthorn
-4 - West Coast
-6 - North Melbourne

Yes - I get the teams that are doing well are probably doing well because they've played us.

 

[Better Loosen Up]

Of course. But we're not going to win them all either which is why they are 50/50 games. It's fair to say that so far, Freo are performing much better than most expected.

 

[Del191229]

We will be a very different side after the bye IMO.

 

[kool kangas]

We will be a very different side after the bye IMO.

With Logue and Comben back in defence and our midfield rested plus hopefully trailling Sellers and Maley in offence we will be a much better side to the one currently on display...
