I'm getting 2nd, 4th or 6th on Squiggle now. Mostly 2nd or 4th. If we get over the pies I can see second as a real possibility. Imagine playing the Loinchops at the MCG in the last home and away for the right to host the first final at home. Epic.

I get 3rd and 6th mostly, depending on the outcome of friday night, but its a pretty complex algorithm. we could finish 1st or 10th too

A couple of random thoughts:

1. With Lynch, Jack and Chol up forward, we are transferring our mosquito, manic forward pressure to instead being applied between the arcs

2. Tom Hawkins is a poor-mans Tom Lynch. Will be clearly evident come finals

3. Chris Scott (and his brother) can *smile* off.

Gold Coast (SE - QLD).
Fourth has a pretty poor record too (12th). Who's fourth this week?
Caroline Wilson doing her bit to keep the lid on...
"Everyone seems to be talking up Richmond at the moment and, this is not a beanie-wearing comment, but it's a cautionary comment: they've not beaten one team in the top four this year," Wilson says.

"They haven't played Brisbane, they haven't played West Coast."
gotta remember
The media people aren’t as interested in being right as they’re into getting attention.

So is a possibility that we play Bris in round 23 at the G and then again the following week, first final in Bris?
That would be amazing!

That game would be a walk in the park. a team with no finals experience on the MCG. Not that I am getting ahead of myself.

Friday night is season defining. Win and we are on our way. Loose and it's the bottom part of the eight. They have completly dominated us the last two times around the contest so I think $2.50 is well over the odds for them despite recent form. A lot of players have a big point to prove after the prelim last year. Let's hope we leave nothing in the tank and have a real crack.

$2.50 sounds about right to me. Players who were playing in round 2 and won't be this time are Stephenson, Aish, Greenwood, Langdon, Moore, Beams. Players under a cloud are Thomas, Cox, Elliott, Mayne (who unbelievably had 33 disposals in Rd 2). We have pretty much a full list to choose from now. On paper we should beat them easily which is why the odds are that way. Obviously reality can be completely different, underdog status, all that jazz, but this is our perfect chance to make amendsm won't get a much better opportunity than this.

I was at the game on Saturday. At no stage did I see all three in the forward line at the same time.

Lose this one, with those outs for the Pies, would leave us seriously scarred and legitimately the Pies Bunnies, (but that won't happen).

Just watching the 1st quarter replay and have already seen twice when all 3 were playing forward. Maybe the idea is to just mix it up in small bursts to keep the opposition guessing. Also just saw all of Lynch, Chol and Soldo forward.
