March to the finals 2023

St KIlda will be shot by then. Dogs will be a harder game.

IMO we should expect to beat Sydney, West Coast, Hawthorn, St Kilda and Norf. that puts us on 11.5 wins.

We will need to win 2 out of Brisbane, Melbourne, Footscray and Port. 1 if other cards fall our way

Yeah that's a good snapshot of what's needed.
 
Gabba this week is season defining
Crunch Ball game !!!!

I am looking at the Brisbane game as a free hit.

Even if we lose we are still alive. Just places pressure on other games. The Sydney game would become the crunch ball game as you say.

Beat Brisbane then Sydney becomes the free hit game

Only against the Cats, who will make finals, and the Swans and Blues, who won't.

Carlton have to play Collingwood, Port (h), Melbourne, GWS, (h) St Kilda, Suns (a), plus west coast. I'm not sure they are good enough to win at least 5 of those games.

Bit in saying that, we should be targeting percentage boosters over the next 2 weeks.
 
This is what some of the so called experts are predicting.

12. RICHMOND

Played: 16, Won: 7, Lost: 8, Drawn: 1, Points: 30, Percentage: 96.9

RUN HOME​

R18: West Coast, Optus (W)
R19: Hawthorn, MCG (W)
R20: Melbourne, MCG (L)
R21: Western Bulldogs, Marvel (L)
R22: St Kilda, Marvel (L)
R23: North Melbourne, MCG (W)
R24: Port Adelaide, AO (L)
Predicted finish: 11th (10-1-12)

A fighting win over Sydney last Thursday night kept the Tigers in the hunt for finals. However, that now looks an unlikely result as the side finds itself one game and percentage out of the top-eight with seven games to go. Richmond should chalk up wins against bottom-four sides West Coast, Hawthorn and North Melbourne. But they would also need to beat at least one top-eight side in Melbourne, Western Bulldogs, St Kilda or Port Adelaide to be any chance. That’s possible, but you wouldn’t say it’s likely.

Will Carlton or Richmond squeeze into the top eight?​


Yes, both will
2 %

Only Richmond
37 %

Only Carlton
20 %

No, neither will

Win tomorrow and we'll be 11th, 10th if we have a massive win, and we'll be 2 points behinds the Saints who are 6th, and 4 points behind the Cats who are 5th.
Eight points separates the 10 sides on the ladder from 5th to 14th, it goes without saying, we can't afford any loses against bottom sides like last year.

Dont think we can make up the % unless we have two massive wins V eagles and the Hawks. We just gotta win one more game than the Blues, Ess, Dogs, Saints, and the Cats well we'll cross that bridge next weekend. if as expected we beat the Eagles and Hawks and they lose to the Lions at the Gabba we will be on equal points with the Cats on 38. With 5 games remaining would need to win one more than them.

Win tomorrow and we go 11th (cant higher than that). We'll then be 2 points behind, Ess, Dogs, and Saints. And, one game behind the Cats in 5th

Cheers, hadn't refreshed the ladder page after the GWS, Crows game.
