Round 12: the other games. Quality, rather than quantity.

They are trying to re-write history. Making out that the Club that crossed the line and broke the rules is actually the victim. Next thing you know, Carlton will be asking for an apology for their salary cap rorts being punished.

Yes, I noticed that too. It's something that sport specializes in. We were in the US recently and it coincided with the 75th anniversary
of Jackie Robinson being the first black player allowed to play in major league baseball. MLB couldn't congratulate themselves enough.
Meanwhile black participation rates in baseball in the US are currently at a 40 year low.
I'll be hoping for a Bombers win. It's better for us ladder-wise and the new Carlton bandwagon supporters are fairly annoying.

I am loving the Essendon bulldust coming out of the gob of the old fossil Sheedy, who appears to be trying to keep himself relevant.

Can you believe the media getting themselves into a lather over the Melb stuff? A couple of blokes having a few cans and a bit of a blue, like boys will be boys. Let it go.

Recently someone posted a link to an article, I thought it was in the West Australian, about the 'real' AFL ladder. I'm trying to find the link. So far, no luck. Can anyone help please?

If we win 8 of the rounds remaining we’ll finish top 4 imo

[Maltopia]

I have us finishing 5th on the predictor if we have a 8-2 run home which would be impressive. I have Melbourne/Brisbane on top, and Geelong/Freo in next two spots as their draws are not that difficult (just a couple of 50-50 games here and there)

I think we would be stoked to have an 8-2 finish for the rest of the season.

We have:

Port Adelaide, away
St Kilda, SCG
Bombers, MCG
Bulldogs, SCG
Freo, Optus
Adelaide, SCG
Giants, SCG
North, Marvel
Pies, SCG
Saints, Marvel

Bulldogs at SCG are a danger game always due to the umpiring, and the Saints have been playing well so it might be 1-1. Freo away is our toughest match. Plus as a young team, we will likely drop one or more games where we are the favourites, so I think 7-3 or 8-2 would have us quite happy, but still as I mentioned, likely leave us out of the top 4.

[bloodspirit]

I think we need to finish top 4 if we want to win the flag. And I think we can do that. At the very least, our destiny is in our own hands.

[Nico]

I just cant see this current Brisbane team winning a flag anytime soon. They have been, and continue to be the 3rd or 4th best team.

They seem to have the players, but dont win the critical games, especially finals. Not sure why.

Only hope for them is a blessed run with injuries (none for them, plenty for other contenders).

The only side they have beaten in the 8 is us. They have had a super easy draw to date. Their 2nd half draw is much tougher.

The way we play, top 4 may not be necessary. We need to finish in the 8 of course, and from then on we can beat any and all teams. Have faith guys!

Agree wholeheartedly on our day we can beat anyone and the youth we have on show are starting to play with consistency and increased confidence.
I believe !

[Roadrunner]

Not really. Not if we win our next 10 games. (And the next three after that.)

[Maltopia]

Cracking the top 4 will be difficult.

As usual it relies on us winning some clutch games coming up, and some other results going our way.

Such as Carlton losing to Richmond and St Kilda, and Melbourne getting revenge on Freo in the rematch.

Doable!

[Kafka's Ghost]

Are we? I haven't seen anything recently to suggest we will be chasing him. Definitely not one we should be chasing.

Just social media scuttlebutt.
