The run home - Can we make top 4
- Thread starter AstuteTiger
- Start date
*smile* media morons. Why does the umpire have to be brave? He just needs to make the right decision. These *smile* idiots in the media continually make excuses for umpire *smile* ups. No wonder the standard keeps deteriorating when no one is ever held to account for their actions.
Got stepped on by a Wet Coke player, hopefully nothing more than bruising.
I am more than happy for the dees and dogs to finish 1 and 2, and hopefully win their first final to lock in a prelim, knowing if we get to a prelim it will be at the G
Good luck stopping the tiger train if we make it to the prelim
The one positive result of yesterday’s loss was Dima’s reflection in which he seems to be coming to grips with playing 3 tall forwards.
I think he has been slow to react but the fact that he is now contemplating CJ Jack and Tommy is a positive.
We also need to be prepared to deal with tall forwards by putting some of our own talls in defence.
Balta is the only one we have and I am afraid Astbury while tall, no longer has the speed to
match it with Geelong Melbourne etc.
Not sure how the scratch matches have been going but seems like a good time to blood Miller.

Not only is top 4 gone, but the chance of a 3-peat is gone. people are hoping beyond hope that we'll peak in the run home, but we are just playing well enough. our record against other top 8 teams says it all.
its more than that. its the fact that we lost against a very average team. I don't care what anyone says, west coast are no good. that last quarter was pre-2017-esque benny hill music stuff.

I just did the ladder predictor. We have to win every game from now on and Brisbane and Port dropping a couple games each for us to make the Top 4.
Realistically I think we end of up either 6th or 7th and play West Coast, either at home or over there.

the team we will (hopefully) put out in Sept will be different to the one that played in Perth- Nank, Prestia, Cotchin and Lynch will make a big difference come finals time.
It just shows how important winning the close ones / things going your way is / when and where you play the opposition.
flip the PA / WCE results which could both happen with less unfavourable umpiring / little bit of composure on our behalf and we are fifth, game clear of port , and top four almost a lock.
we got Sydney when they were at their peak and other top 8 when almost fully fit. No gray now for eight weeks to kick a clutch boundary line goal in dying momental etc.
flip gws and we are a game and half outside the 8 ….
things are never quite as bad or good as they seem.
our trend is on the up for sure. We’ve played some really good footy coming into bye but not quite capitalised on it. We’ve been extremely unlucky with all the injuries to our midfield at the same time.
think we get into hopefully fifth or sixth and get a free swing at it.

we Will come out now head on with our serious game.
If Geelong bulldogs and Melbourne finish top 3 then there’s no difference between 1st and 4th place so we need to grab that 4th spot. If we do, our whole finals campaign will be on the MCG.
Anytime Bris and port lose, that’s great
And they are a bit suspect away from their fortress.
Lower teams should pick them off at least once and they’ll lose to higher placed teams too.
We should pass Sydney and WCE soon.
Hope Bris and port lose in an upset

We had 3 of our best 22 out. they had 4 of their best 22 out.
correct. we want Dees/Dogs/Cats to keep winning and Lions/Power to lose as many as possible.
I painfully remember the bad old days of hoping other teams lost so we could make the finals. We are brothers and sisters in our pain and developed coping mechanisms to ease our mental anguish. Don't care to revisit that era and persistent mindset ever again. We either win it wherever because we are good or we miss out because we weren't.
And Astbury.
Missing both Nank and Soldo was huge. Meant NicNat could be close to BOG, which he would never be against Nank, or probably Soldo.
Missing Prestia, and havign Cotch just cruising in July, along with having Chol rucking, meant we were well beaten in the centre when it mattered.
For sure. Luck still plays a huge role in any premiership though - so when the cookie crumbles your way (2017/19) you make the most of it.
