The optism on this thread about the run home and our success is overwhelming.

Only time will tell but I don't think we're going too badly. Most of the sides around us are just as inconsistent. Been in winning positions in the last two matches.

11 wins might just sneak us in there.

Not going to be easy but I haven't written them off yet.

I reckon 11 will be good for a 7th or 8th placing provided there is another team which breaks away from the pack with StK and Gee.

I don't think your too far off....Carlton is a definite borderline.. Brisbane will be MOL's last game, unless injured,...At the SCG hopefully a stirring win!

We all remember Pluggers "last" home game in 1999 vs Adelaide. I think it was Brett Kirks 3rd game or something too and he kicked a lazy 3 in a 118 point mauling. So hopefully we stand up.

All in all we have been quite below par but had things gone our way we could easily be 7-5 and vying for 4th-6th possie and min 1 home final. 11 finals in 13 years (with 2002 being a season of close games which could've catapulted us in the top 4) is excellent in anyone's book. Shame our fickle NSW market can't see that!

the Brisbane game will be interesting - expect them to be making the finals..... A win for them at the SCG would be a good litmus test for how they will fare in the first week of the finals. I agree on Carlton - except that it is in Melbourne - a place that the Swans tend to find themselves "out of water".

If we can manage to find a win in Adelaide, the next 4 are certainly winnable to get us some momentum heading into the death last leg.

If we win 5 in a row heading into St Kilda then watch out!

We can win 5/6 here, if we have minimal injuries, then be playing for a spot in the finals...

R14 North Melbourne (SCG)

R15 Essendon (SCG)

R16 Carlton (Etihad)

R17 Melbourne (Manuka)

R18 St Kilda (SCG)

R19 Richmond (MCG)

Brisbane are more of a concern to me than Carlton. I think Carlton are never quite sure how to play us, though granted they have improved significantly this year.

I'm concerned that our confidence could take a battering against Collingwood and Geelong leaving us sitting ducks for the Lions. That said we invariably beat them at home and it could come down to this match. Lose any of the others though and it won't matter.

If we can pinch any game it could be against the Saints. They should have sown up a top 2 spot by August so they might be easing their foot off the gas.

I thought Brisbane might be slightly easier, given that it's at the SCG. We got smashed by Collingwood in Rnd 21 last year and then destroyed Brisbane in Rnd 22.

We've got a very good record against Carlton but they've been closing the gap in the last couple.

Have to win these games:

North
Essendon
Melbourne
Richmond
Brisbane

And then pinch one of the others.

11 wins might just sneak us in there.

Not going to be easy but I haven't written them off yet.
