I'm not relying on that. the eagles missing the top 2 is by far our best chance of winning the flag. Go Lions this week.
Problem is we don't have the wriggle room with Scumwood a game behind with better %.
Let's hope the Crows can roll them tomorrow. We've gotta finish top 4. Really don't want to meet the Dogs in the first week of the finals which is a real possibility if we finish 5th. It's hard to fathom but they really have our measure over the last few years.
Fair point. We beat them there in the last game last year but we were extremely lucky to win. That said we couldn't lose top spot so it's hard to know what to read from that game. Still, would rather play anyone else but them in the finals. Reckon they'd still be be the best chance to beat us at the G; maybe the Eagles as well. We'll find out on Sunday I guess.
Reminds me of an old t-shirt of mine.
He's listening, go ahead.
That pic, with 'cli che' written underneath.
We can absolutely hunt through four finals from fifth position.
A loss tomorrow could be a blessing in disguise.
Consider the fact that we’ve all been hoping like hell we get Geelong at the G. A fixturing quirk that forces the top side to play “away” to fourth.
Consider that the other two sides in the top four are interstate. If we finish fourth, one could argue that on merit alone we deserve to play interstate to one of those sides. A situation where a loss would have been likely, at least against WC.
So why not view finishing fifth and having to play four finals as the same as losing an interstate QF?
The difference being that we are likely to start September with a resounding win over a depleted Essendon, then play a depleted Collingwood at the G, followed by bunnies Brisbane away in the PF!
I could most certainly live with that.

I we finished 5th I’d be disappointed but we are are almost certainly $1.02 favourites to win our final.
The easiest thing and most possible for me to figure out is
Rich d WCE , Geel d Carlton,
WCE d Haw, Rich d Bris
All by 20 points
So we play Geel (MCG) in the QF.
But when we play Brisbane, we will all be holding calculators instead of pies and beer.

I watched the Brisbane V cats closely yesterday,
and didnt see a premiership contender.
I saw, what in a normal season, would be two sides fighting for 5th and 6th.
I am expecting to see The heavy weight bout today.
barring injury, the two best credentialed sides in the competition by quite a margin.
and I think these two are only separated by a bit of luck.
