The race for the top 4

[Rob]

It would be interesting if freo were in a position to decide which finals opponent they get, playing after hawthorn that is

Well I reckon that decision would take about point oh-oh-one of a second.

 

[Rob]

Fremantle are 10% behind. You're dreaming. And the if is a huge if as well.

It's actually less than 7%, which is about an 80 point differential. Unlikely, but possible if Brisbane of a week ago rocks up.

So the swans should finish 1st unless they screw up bad against the dogs or at home to ninthmond.

Its a flip of a coin for 2nd through 4th because if the cats win and Frro can pick up percentage, they could potentially drop the Hawks to 4th. Unlikely but stranger stuff has happened.

 

[Kram]

I wonder if we get past Brisbane we will rest quite few players for the last game against Port.

It is 10% right?

It's actually not, it's 9.7%.

If Port also get past Carlton, Port would need about a 30 point win over Freo to get top 4 so can't see Ross Lyon taking any chances.

Fremantle are 10% behind. You're dreaming.

Gee 100 v Haw 80
Fre 125 v BL 50

Haw F 2323 A 1719 - 135.1367
Fre F 1943 A 1461 - 132.9911

I'd say that's within striking distance, in anyone's language.

And the if is a huge if as well.

Geelong is currently getting $2.18 at Betfair. Not like the Cats are a 10/1 shot.

I think the tricky thing will be relying on Collingwood making it a contest against the hawks - based on recent form, injuries etc you'd have to fancy the hawks racking up a decent score there.

pies will be lucky if they get done by less than 60. Flogged by a bottom team at home is pretty bad.

Freo got flogged by St Kilda and did ok after it. Although I admit the Pies are in worse shape than the Dockers.

God I hope we win. Will make for a great last round

Yeah, not out of the realms of possibility for Port to still make Top 4. However you'd need to win by enough this week (plus hope Fremantle lose/win by a small margin) and THEN win next week in a 'pre-qualifying final' at Patersons.

 

[Duskfire]

Next week is going to be massive. Huge percentage booster from Port today. They aren't going to go out without a fight. Should be an awesome match at Subi next week.

 

[tHeCloWn]

no Fyfe or Barlow either. Fremantle's depth is piss poor, it's no wonder they were desperate to get Fyfe off as they could be toppled out by a resurgent Port who have found their swagger again.

Freo are 1 game ahead of Port. If Freo win on Sunday against the Lions, then next week is irrelevant.

 

[Pessimistic]

Looking better for first plced sydney as freo and port will crucify each oter next week

Not unless they win by 100+ points. Ports percentage is better.

Not if Freo beat the Lions.

?

If Freo win tomorrow they go to 60pts, Port play Freo next week if Port win they go to 60pts then its a matter of %

I'm pretty sure you're not serious given your username, but you should check the ladder and fixture again if you are.

 

[Duskfire]

Not if Freo beat the Lions.

Freo will only be one game ahead and due to Ports percentage booster today, Freo will have to win by alot to equal that. Regardless, the fight for foirth spot will be decided next week.

 

[RUNVS]

Not if Freo beat the Lions.

Freo are going to beat the Lions but that will just mean they are 4 points ahead. Odds are their percentage will be worse though so in the Freo/Port game whoever wins will make the top 4 and whoever loses will be 5th.

 

[Duskfire]

One thing is for sure: Freo won't be resting half their side at any point.

Well we could do it on Sunday. In fact I wouldn't mind us doing this lol.

 

[QPower]

Without Fyfe and Barlow in their side, Freo should be very concerned about what they saw tonight.
