Staying on the MCG in week 2 or 3 and playing Brisbane GWS WCE Adelaide Port & Essendon is the advantage

I think last year our minds were on the GF and not the PF.

I understand the fascination with finish 4th instead of 5th but is finishing 5th that much of a death knell???

Winning the first week from 4th and getting the week off is a bonus... but is it? Due to our injury run this year I think continuity isnt so bad for us.

Losing the first week from 4th OR beating up 8th from 5th garners the same result, in fact the latter wouldn't be as taxing.

Just thinkin out loud.
Always take the double chance. ALWAYS.

Almost all Grand finalists since and including 2000 have finished 1,2 or 3.

Sydney 2006 & Collingwood 2002 finished 4th and lost the GF.
In 2016 Western bulldogs finished 7th and won the GF which was really weird.

Geelong are copying our 2018 season, not our 2017.

I think we are copying 2017.
Any concerns Richmond have is based on our nightmare 2018 preliminary final.
And Geelong and Collingwood followed it up with early season wins.

I hope we're copying 1969, did you see the First Semi Final result against Geelong?

Winning four finals is harder than winning three finals. Home finals beats travelling interstate. Defense rests.

According to Champion Data (published in The Age) we have the hardest run to the finals among those we're trying to dislodge from finals.

Dunno where to post this
Gonzo winding up Chris Scott and letting him go re Cats getting their finals at Geelong......
One geelong slapper sucking up to another!
Just gave us a mention for playing the last seven at the G then potentially playing a final there that we really haven't qualified for as the home team!
Some of the analogies he was using were absolutely laughable. If this was my team I'd be ropeable... gettin way to far ahead of themselves!
*I'll put up a link when they do.

After Saturday we have 3 games against top 4
Then hopefully 3 finals against top 4 so we’ll have earned our spot.

If we lose games, even finals I can live with it but I don’t want us being down 8 goals at half time in a PF or GF ever again.
What a disaster.

Who is gonzo.
Good to hear they are thinking about us and not the opposition this week.
We’ve got them looking over their shoulders already.

Definitely looking over their shoulder.

Please please please can we finish 4th and play Geelong at the G in the PF.

Sleepy Hollow would implode if we got up.

PS. Chris Scott is an absolute flog!

Whateley.
He is very hard to listen too.
‘If Essendon make the finals there first final should be at the Telstra Dome’
Hasn’t Essendon got 65k members? I bet 90% of Essendon supporters would want to play at the G

Fancy the coach talking about the inequities of the comp and how his opponents supposedly get a leg up. That is the role of an administrator, President, CEO.

This flog deserves to get knocked out in straight sets.

What a contrast to Dimma.
