Prefer us to play the Gabba if we have to go interstate. We are not the miracle that was 2001 anymore.

All top 6 teams should win R21 and if the Bummers lose to the Bulldogs, the top 6 will be 2 games clear from 7th & 8th.

Our last chance for a % booster is this week against an improved Cartoon.

In R22, if Lions beat (the wobbly) Cats at Gabba, and we should beat WC at home, we could move to 2nd....and the Lions 1st (this scares me)

WC and Geelong will move to 3rd and 4th someway, whereas GWS and the Chokers could have a loss playing Dogs and Crows respectively.

This would set the top 4, and a win for us against Lions at the G, could make us finish 1st.

As others have said, % is becoming really important now, and it's gonna be chess tactics from the coaches.

no chance. I've given up on top 2. I don't believe we can catch WC or BL on percentage. We can only overtake BL's if us and Geelong beat them.

The thing about Brisbane is they are about to get a game v Suns which is a % booster.

Maybe and maybe not. Hometown rivals could lift and make it a close one.

There's only 6% between us, Brisbane and WC.

I can't wait to see my ideal midfield rotation together for the first time.

Maybe not this week but over the coming weeks.

Martin, Cocthin, Prestia, Ross, Edwards, Lambert, Bolton, Pickett.

Any combination will suffice

Seems like Mason Cox has been ruled out for the season with his eye injury.

Both Beams and Cox gone for the year - the premiership race has gone from 6 teams down to 5, with maybe the cats looking a bit wobbly still. Only GWS can realistically threaten us from below imo.

Cox out probably helps the Pie's chances, he was pretty putrid Saturday night.

Don't wish Cox any ill regarding his serious injury.
Just pleased that there will be no USA finger waggling seen again this season.
Plus, it does put the Pies into a sea of pain. Their season is falling apart before their (and our) eyes.
And ain't that such a shame, eh.

Not sure if Cox's injury improves the Pies injury woes or makes them worse

Yes it's debatable whether cockeyed Cox is a good or bad thing for the Scum, i think they might just be better off without him.

Cox injury is not a good thing... gives pies opportunity to a potentially hungry unknown (towner and graham say hello)

OMG, that's a shame for poor ol' Collingwood forever...

No matter what permutation I feel 110% confident that we have set ourselves to win every game from here on.

We will put Carlton back in their jumbuck, beat up a travel weary WCE and absolutely maul the Lions at our fortress, THE G!

Come Monday 26 every paper in the land will be writing us up as Premiership faves! and rightly so.

GET READY TOoooooo RUMBLE!!!

Should win but how often has that happened this year. If this year is anything to go by there'll be at least a couple unexpected results.

Has any side won the last 9 H&A matches going into the finals then won the GF? (Especially winning all 3 finals?).

Coz it seems that’s what we,ll have to do.

As woeful as GC are I am expecting them to pull off a win in the last three.
