I think Carlton is a MUST win for Finals.
Takes them out of it, in all likelihood.
8-5 is where we need to be.
We can split the remaining 10 rounds, and that may be all we are capable of.
There are plenty of tough games there.
Freo away looks tougher.
We would have to take 1 of the SA teams at home.
9-7 with NM & WC to come, might be enough.
WC - W
North - W
FC - 50/50
Freo - L
Port - 50/50
Adelaide - W
Geelong - L
Dogs - 50/50
Chickens - W
WC - W
North - W
Giants - 50/50
Klan - L
If we play Finals - it’s a big if - we will need at least two of scotty21’s 50/50 games. If we stagger into the Eight, only to be belted in an Elimination Final, as has happened so often before, will we have achieved anything worthwhile?
Transitioned from an unsustainable game plan reliant on individual brilliance to a sustainable (albeit not yet complete) game plan dependent on structures and process?
■■■■ I am so excited to go on saturday Ready to watch the eagles get crushed while I get REALLY lid off in the middle of the eagles’ member’s area. Gonna be dual wielding scarfs.
Geelong would be kitty litter by then.(ie we pi$$ all over them.)
Assuming our luck as finally turned on the injury front, we could have the following by the PA / Adel / Geelong / Dogs games…
FB McGrath BZT Kelly
HB Redman Lav Ridley
Cen Martin Merrett Durham
Fol Draper Setterfield Parish
HF Langford Weed Perkins
FF AMT Wright Stringer
Int Hepp Caldwell Shiel Hobbs
Sub Guelf
Eme Snelling, Menzie, Cox, Reid, Tsatas, Hind, Dam.
Squiggle’s algorithm needs to be tweaked.
I love what I’m seeing
Not so sure about 7th on that one
Surely you can do something better with ninthmond and “look there’s a final in this brown paper bag”.
I think this is the year to finally win a final.
Three teams are fielding some of worst sides of all time - Hawks, North and WCE, . Richmond’s window is officially over. the reigning premiers look vulnerable (losing to Richmond and currently losing to GWS), the reigning premiers before that we have already beaten - Melbourne.
Teams that were suppose to be on the rise this year aren’t - Carlton and the Suns
and the rest of the finalist are pretty even
And finally, the premiership favourites Brisbane (after melbourne’s loss to freo today) - are also vulnerable playing in Vic.
If we can get a good side on the park, and we within striking distance we have to take it. If we are going to go on to win a flag, we have to shake this voodoo hanging over our heads and there is an opportunity to do that this year, with draw we have remaining.
We need to aim for top 6, it’s right there for us.
I’m nervous about tonight now lol.
Commentators tonight pretty much saying it’s inevitable that we play finals.
Talk about lid off!
Ah man not 8th again.
Fk sake
Just barrack for Bris & Port to stay in the Top 4, but finish above Freo.
If we got 8th and played in Melbourne for the first final. I’d be rapt!
