      There are two wins at most there, and even they will be a tough ask.

        Nay.

        Early holidays for us all.
        Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
        Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

          No chance.

          I have always told Mrs LoveChild no holidays in September. Come the 18th, we are off to Cairns!!

            only if the 6 teams we are to play in the next 6 weeks all forfeit and we are handed the points - then we might be a chance
            I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................

              I'd like four wins out of that lot and that won't be enough. However, it's a great set of games to show the young players what is expected to be a team that plays and wins finals.

              I guess we are back to the days when a win against the pundit's tipping feels like a Grand Final victory. So I'll be very happy if we beat the Lions and/or Pies and put in good performances against the Saints and Cats.

              Outside the Swans I'd just like to see the Dogs as Premiers - or really any team other than the Saints.

                  1 or 2 wins at best. Micks 300th against the toothless ones looks our best chance of a win. But even that game is no certainty.

                    Please add a win over the Pies to our all time wish list...... the only thing better than a Premiership is to beat them

                      I sincerely hope we DON'T make the finals this year, let the tanking begin, get a couple of decent draft picks to play with for next year , maybe the year after. Use them for trade or youngsters, but we need an influx of players, and we're going to need the right bait to catch them

                        A good friend of mine is a passionate Blues fan, he loves the young talent they've got from their early draft picks but he HATED the years of failure that gave them those early draft picks. He's still not sold that the ends justify the means, because right now the ends is a window of opportunity.

                        I'd rather win games and make finals, draft order be damned. If the team is only as good as their bottom 6 (or however the saying goes) then that bottom 6 probably weren't all high draft picks.
                        I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
                        We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

                                If we manage to win seven of the last five games - we'll be a chance?
