2022 - March to the finals

Looking too far ahead

If results go the way of the trends
We are on elimination final collision course with Melbourne

If injuries aren’t a factor we’ll have some handy change in players from last time

Out

Our finals run will be difficult whichever way you cut it.

I have us with Melbourne in an EF. A promoter’s dream.

Win that and we have to beat Brisbane on their own deck.

Get through that somehow and we face an ominous Geelong for the PF.

Then, finally, some respite for the GF.

Sydney on a glorious Saturday afternoon at the G.

If we finish seventh it will be an elimination final against Freo or the Swans away looking at the ladder?????????
 
And this is why you don't throw everything out and just play the kids by rebuilding halfway through the season. Where there is life there is hope.

My ladder predictor has us playing the loser of Rd 23 Lions v Melb match in our Elimination final.

could be anyone, Pies, Freo, Go Deez, Paddlepops.

We can beat any of em. Would love to smash Deez or Piez first up though.

My dream was always to take out Blues and Pies in successive finals, then take out Cats and Melb in whatever order they fall to us. Unfortunately I don't think we'll get a chance to do the Blues Pies double in the finals.

Though you never know what GIl and his cronies can conger up to make it happen. It will go a long way to lifting attendances this year

I don't think it's possible for us to meet the Bluebaggers at all except in the GF, as we'd finish 7th and 8th.
 
Not one team has troubled us this year, the Dees game the only one I think we weren't really a chance. Their poor kicking kept us in it, but it wasn't one sided at all.

My only concern is that defensively we're not like we used to be.
 
Now that it is a given that we will be playing finals there is now a conundrum. As sub,Castagna or Dusty?At least Dimma will have time think this out.

But we have the second highest scoring forward line ATM.
