9.14 - Loss to Geelong
14.10 - Win against Collingwood
9.13 - Loss to Essendon
9.13 - Win against Richmond
12.7 - Loss to GWS

Win Loss record not great - but at the end of the day (and I know that there have been some really horrendous parts of the games) we have not lost a game that we were not capable of the win at the final siren.

Not saying we are close to 5-0 but after 5 games we have not been blown away despite playing Geelong at Geelong and GWS at Canberra

Need to be 5-5 at the turn and make use of the Sweet Run Home.

Straightening up our kicking would also help.

At the same time we gift the opposition too many goals and simply can't afford those clangers.

I agree with Jacks Back and Yorkeys - but it is certainly not 'Throw the Baby out with the Bathwater' time

Must win 3 of the next 5. Should win 4.

Anything less than 5-5 and we're very unlikely to feature in September.

4-4 most likely
Best WB
Lose Port
Beat Norf

then must wins
Hawthorn in Launceston
Freo in Melbourne
6-4
then Melb and WC - split 7-5
Gold coast (h ) Brs (a) before the bye

7-7 at the bye.

then port (h)
Syd (h)
Adel (a)
WC (h)
Ess (h)
Bris (h)
Rich (Marvel)
Geel ( h)
Carl (H)

Could either really make a push as a lot of teams we will be competing with for the spots in the 8 (8 point games) or book those September holidays.

No doubt we're competitive, but in the end it's about winning and not about getting close enough. Our slow starts will kill us as you can only play so much catch up footy.

While mildly respected we probably don't really worry any side too much as we don't take advantage of repeated possessions, always remaining vulnerable.
This might be because we have unsettled line ups and still rely on half a dozen to play top notch.
Slick teamwork will likely all click into place later in the year, we might even pull off an upset or two. Meanwhile.....bloody injuries...

If we can get to 7-7 at bye.
We would need to win 6-9 to make finals.
Will need 13 wins realistically to make it to September.

Lets just hope the Dogs don't finally get their act together at our expense.
