Hey Mick - let’s start ticking them off. :smoking:
We have 11 games to go:

West Coast (W)
North Melbourne (L)
Port Adelaide (L)
Collingwood (L)
Brisbane (L)
Melbourne (W)
Hawthorn (L)
Fremantle
Gold Coast
Port Adelaide
Essendon**

6 games against teams outside the eight
5 games against teams inside the eight - bolded.
Big six weeks coming, if we get through the next 3 undefeated.

Looking at the predictor and assuming teams lose to others above them, then we can’t lose more than 2 or 3 with % playing a big part. The Hawthorn, Fremantle, GC games are crucial as all will be around the bottom 8.
Hopefully there are a few upsets, as there normally are, so let’s hope they are favourable to us!
This team needs to get on a roll and now….

I’ll update this each round as we move forward and see where we land.

I think so.

They are the teams we want to displace from the 8.

Love this thread. Thanks Surrey.

Was calling for tommi or Ghost to continue their great work done in a similar thread last year, but Surrrey has come to the rescue.

Hey Ghost its Balwyn calling.

Yes Mick, one week at a time for sure, but we have to see trees for wood, so I will take the plunge with a longer outlook.

W. West Coast
W. North Melbourne
W. Port Adelaide ....game in Adelaide will be tough but hope we build our game to 4 quarters by then
L. Collingwood....we should have got them first round EDITED since Walsh injury
L. Brisbane.....Marvel EDITED
W. Melbourne....close, but another must win if we are going to pass them on our way to the 8
W. Hawthorn.... we should have beaten them first time round. Bad kicking for goal fkd us up
W. Fremantle....I think this is the game that will help displace them or break us. Its an away game.
L. Gold Coast....Marvel EDITED
W. Port Adelaide...Home game
W. Essendon*****

We need 13 wins. We have 5. Need another 8 wins. I think we can do it. We have to, to be a Finalist, and have a tilt at the flag, and, to be a destination club with momentum and potential. We need to attract players to improve our best 23, and improve our depth for 2026.

Newman and Cottrell back to get us moving along should help.

I think the title is wrong

a stumble to the finals
a stagger
or

a Bradbury to the finals?

Not really, I'm killng the day as an excuse to have no time to drive to Seaforth to view a celebrity's house that needs my wand. I'm retired but find it hard to say no to nice people asking for favours. It will cost them, but money is not a driver for me these days. Carlton winning is. Conundrum.

I saw the title and was going to recognise the optimism!
But I see others have already.
I’ll take the ride while we’re still technically alive!
