You may be right, but they don't play many significantly 'better sides'. See their draw here.
If I had to predict their final points tally now, I would pencil in their MCG games v Richmond and Brisbane and their Aurora games v Roos and Port as wins (given their sensational record at Aurora). If they win those games, they'd only need 2 wins from their games v St K, Essendon and the Dogs to get to 60 points by R21 before their match against us. They'll start favourites against St K, probably against Essendon, and possibly the Dogs too.
But as you say: if, if, if.
