2022 - March to the finals

I've never been one to do a ladder predictor, but it's now or never.

I suspect we drop 1 of the remaining 3 games based on recent history. Who the hell knows which one, as all 3 will be close (just cos we seem to like it that way).

Which means in all likelihood, we will be sitting and watching the Carlton v Collingwood game in the final round and barracking for those stinkin' Pies.

Get ready to strap in for the rollercoaster of emotion over the next month. I might need to discover meditation.

Meditation? You had 37 years to discover whisky and you didn't?

Be great if the Pies had to win too secure top 4.(Washing my mouth out)
 
It’s scary to think we could wake up tomorrow
6 points out of the 8 with 2 games left

Prefer to wake up in the 8 with just hawks and Essendon to finish the home and away

Doubt the Aints beat the Pussies away, unless Pricky decides to ........

Get on the Brisbane bandwagon not only to smash Cartoon tomorrow but more importantly at the Dump next week against the Aints.

If we beat Dorks next week (as we should) and Aints lose at the Dump to Lions, we're in. 8 will be settled.

2 point buffer in Freo draw helps.
 
ladder predictor says
if all remaining games won by favourites
our first final dictated by car v coll result
car win....we play pies at gee
coll win ...we play lions up there

Wishful thinking I know but what I would like to see is of course Tigers win the last 2, Blues do Brisbane and lose their last 2. Brisbane lose last 2. We finish 6th and play first final against Brisbane at the MCG. Make it happen.

Two more games at the MCG

Do not forget the MCG factor - it is still as strong as ever.

We won’t drop those games.

The key game is actually Carlton v Collingwood.

I actually think Carlton wins which puts us in Brisbane for an EF.

If we make the finals, cue Cornes whinging about how we had those 2 games at the ‘G

Doing my head in reversing just syd gee freo to wins(game and a half clear in 4th) and not even the giveaways of north and suns.

We are going to be doing it the hard way assuming we qualify.

Looking like Bris up there.

Could be Pies down here if they lose their last 2 and finish 6th and Blues lose next week but beat PIes in last round.

Highest we can Finish is 6th with 54 pts that's with Freo losing last 2 which can't see happening & Carlton losing which they way they are going today its possible

Yep. It's 7th or 8th so we'll be focusing on whoever finishes 5th and 6th and could be interstate.....but we know what to expect.

Someone was saying that percentage doesn't mattter since the draw. As luck would have it we're in striking distance of Freo with identical percentages. Unlikely Dockers will lose to Saints next week but if the do they have Demons last game. In striking distance of Blues who we know will lose by less than a goal to the Pies (everyone does). 7th looks like we'll have to travel, most likely candidates for 6th are Fremantle, Lions or Swans.
