It's all in our hands now. We play all teams from 2nd to 7th (we're 6th) so a top 4 will be a miracle now particularly since Pies won. Need to secure 5th or 6th for a home final but it's going to be tough even with all 7 games at the G.

The more non-Vic teams in the 8, the harder it becomes even though we've done well interstate this season.

Geel $3.50
WC $4.75
Rich $4.75
Chokers $6.00

Interesting odds. We're now equal 2nd with WC and the Chokers still a bit low maybe due to injuries.

They are like that quiet nephew that you only see once in every 5 family Christmas parties.
Shows again how many interstate games we continue to cop every season. As for this, it's a fraud from Dimwitriou & co. Too lopsided for 20 years.

Well percentage has come to bite us. Because of percentage with 6 games to go we need to win 2 more games than Brisbane, Pies or West Coast to make the 4. Assume we do well and win 5,I just can't see based on their draws any of the others dropping 3. The dream is alive, just.

last week everything we couldn't control went our way. This week it didnt.

the good thing is, we are pursuing 3 sides for the prized 4th spot and we get into the ring with all of them.

its a pretty delicious scenario. To finish in top 4, we need to knock out 3 heavyweights.

1. we need to keep winning and given our % 2. we need one of them to stumble and drop an apparently easy game.

2. will almost certainly happen which distills our formula down to

1. keep winning.

Couldn't believe it. Just 5 games at the G since they were born in 1997. WTF??

wasn't one of them the game where Andy Kellaway kicks his first goal?

and to think there are many salty flogs out there sooking that we have 7 in a row at the G.

What are peoples thoughts on our top 4 chances? Is winning all 6 games our only chance? Or could we can afford to drop one as long as its not against Collingwood, the Eagles or Lions? A quick look at the draw suggests Collingwood has the hardest draw of those 3 teams.

Blobbo's mentioned it in the Hun today. Brisbane have copied us....FMD.....how else do you succeed, but surely they can't finish as top 4.

I'm still worried we won't beat the Scum on July 26 unless we stop mucking about with the ball, but 15 wins should be certain top 4.
