I see us having wins vs Brisbane (H), Carlton (H), Collingwood (H), Essendon (H), Gold Coast (H), Melbourne (x2), North (x2), Richmond (x2) and West Coast (H).
Agree with the 12, but I think we will get them against Melbourne (x2), Brisbane (H), Collingwood (Away but at Etihad), Hawthorn (A), Carlton (H), North (x2), Gold Coast (H), Fremantle (in Perth!), Richmond (H), Essendon (H).

Probably agonisingly close to finals again, but the final match against Richmond could hold the key to our hopes, and I think they will beat us next year at the MCG at this stage. The Hawthorn and Fremantle games should be our best chances of wins interstate.
It looks like 22 wins for the H&A season to me. :D


As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”

the game we supplanted in Round 1
http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/a ... sdaeh.html
The AFL has refused to reveal the least popular stadium but McLachlan was pointed at Thursday's fixture launch when he detailed what Etihad patrons deserved to expect when attending matches there.

Etihad will stage its first AFL match next season under the new arrangement on Saturday, March 25 — a twilight clash between St Kilda and Melbourne. Its second round-one clash will take place the following afternoon when North Melbourne host West Coast at 3.20.
Iniital indications were we would be the Sunday- late flip saw us get the Saturday twilight game
