Exactly. I always respond to salty Adelaide and Geelong supporters to look at the scoreboard. We would have won the qualifying final and grannie if they had been played in Moorabool street and Rundle mall.

Yep - I reckon we'd be a great chance to beat them and their green maggots over in Perth.
In 2017 geelong did us a favour by beating gws, otherwise we would have travelled for first final.
We were in the zone though, and would have beaten anyone anywhere
I think the plan will be to thump the Blues and Lions. West Coast will be a cagey match, plenty of unplayed cards up both coaches' sleeves, methinks.
agree.
Things WC wont see until the GF; Jack Ross bashing Yeo; Alex Rance keeping McGovern to 0 marks; Sydney Stack keeping Liam Ryan goalless; and Marlion Pickett winning the norm smith.
ImI’ve had a look at all the scenarios,I think
Think if we win the remaining games , Brisbane v Geelong is the important one, if Brisbane were to lose that and against us we could end up 3rd and have to travel to Perth, we don’t want that.
I think if we win our remaining games, Brisbane beat Geelong at home is the best scenario for us.
Absolutely fine with going to Perth first up.. as long as Geelong win their first home final then its a great draw for us.
Need to hope geelong finish top. They lose this week to lolnorth then it's over.
Clubs like Geelong and WC will try there very best to keep us away from the top 4.
Geelong will sacrifice finishing on top of ladder so they dont meet us.
West Coast will try to bury sides so we dont get above them.
Brisbane. Are clueless to the slapping they will cop against us on the G.
I've got faith with the group we have we can win the next 3 and scare the *smile* out of the teams we play in September.
Optus might be the same size and same colored grass, that won't help WC on the G playing against us.
Hawthorn should've beaten them by 4 goals that rainy day a monrh ago.
Brisbane got slapped by Essendon
Tipppawoody kicked 7.
God help them.
Geelong just want warm milk.

come on dude, the draw favoured us a little bit. we still had to beat 3 of the top 4 teams to win it, but all of those games were at the G.
The point is we didn't need that favour. We would have smacked anyone in our path in 2017
Dont think there will be any spanking of Carlton this week. This is exactly the type of game they would get up for - just to ruin our chances.
Yea I'm a bit sceptical about this 12 goal win stuff - Carlton have shown something recently. I still expect we'd win comfortably though.
But you never know of course.
In the end, there's a real possibility we'll finish top 4 with first final against Geelong, at the 'G (assuming they haven't completely lost the plot). We are certainly good enough for this to happen. At this point, it'd have to be us and WC, as the two best teams in the comp.
We don't want to be playing WC over there. We can win even so, sure, but just the same, not what you'd want.

Just reading over the above, it's all bleeding obvious really.
It's just that you DO get this sense, that there is quite a bit of upside with our lot, some very good stuff to come. Barring some major injury(s) of course.
I don't pretend to know WC as well as I do our guys, but do they have this as well? From what I read/see, to some extent yea, but I just have the notion, I think unbiased, that we could explode in a bigger way than any other team, when we arrive at the dance floor.

Only worries with West Coast is Yeo and their tall forwards, that is in terms of how we match up. They have been pretty lucky with injury though. I guess its all relative, because wining a premiership isn't supposed to be easy and I will never forget that feeling of dread mixed with optimism when we faced Adelaide in the GF.
