What do you want out of season 24?

I've had a bit of a look at the last 8 rounds. If we assume Sydney and Carlton are probably going to finish top 4 (and most likely top 2), this leaves two spots open to other teams.

The 5 teams above us are all within a game of us and have an inferior percentage. Therefore if we win all our remaining games, the only way we will still miss the top 4, is if both Geelong and Port Adelaide win all their remaining games.

For Geelong it's quite possible; their toughest matchups in the run home are probably Hawthorn (on form), tho that is in Geelong, Collingwood at the MCG and Freo in Perth.

For Port tho it might be a tougher affair. They still have another showdown, they host Sydney, while they're also away to Gold Coast, Carlton, Melbourne and Fremantle. That's a heck of a run home.

So we only need either of Geelong or Port to lose a single game out of their last 16, combined. And also the not insignificant task of continuing to win ourselves.

Lots of ifs, especially around our own form of course, but a rough guide for those of us playing along at home and wanting to know who to death ride over the next couple of months.
