Prediction Optimistic Thread (Delusion)

[SgtSchulz]

So a draw eh?

 

[SgtSchulz]

So...Geelong are now in our hands meaning as long as we keep winning we should finish above them.

We need to annihilate Gold Coast and Fremantle to have any chance.

 

[SgtSchulz]

The equation is simple now.

Win our last three games.
North lose its last three games.

 

[Troopsy]

Win our last three games.
North lose its last three games.

You mean win two games for us right?

 

[SgtSchulz]

Si.

 

[magtrev]

think you need geelong to lose a game too

 

[RossFC]

A loss to Collingwood or Crows is possible.

 

[Shane_Mag]

Yep. Geelong have to lose at least one game. North to lose all their games and Port to win its last 2 games and we are in.

 

[SgtSchulz]

A loss to Collingwood or Crows is possible.

Probable.

 

[bluemoon86]

Wack gold coast by 100 points next week and see how the results play out.

 

[Troopsy]

Still have to worry a fair bit about %'s though.

But as this is the optimistic thread, we will roll GC, beat Freo and all results to go our way and bam, we are in

 

[Zombie]

Hopefully Freo commit to sealing a top 2 spot tomorrow against North Melbourne and then play like they did in round 23 2013:

 

[Boxx]

Well, IF all goes our way with the Northern Kangaroos losing tomorrow and the next 2 weeks... AND geelong dropping another game - we will know EXACTLY the margin that we will need to beat Freo by in rd23 to snag 8th spot!!!

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

I know it's optimisim but those are really terrible situations lol

 

[Jones2ByrneJones]

For us to make through finals, we need the following results:

1) Us to beat GC (ideally by a large margin to overtake Geelong and North on %) next week
2) Us to beat Fremantle (r23)
3) North to lose to Fremantle today (Sunday)
4) North to lose to the Bulldogs next week
5) North to lose to Richmond in r23
6) Geelong to lose one or both of their remaining matches against Collingwood or Crows.

It's very reliant on North's results but it's mildly possible

 

[Chad WinGOAT]

Geelong drawing to St. Kilda has just opened the door for us. I believe we can sneak into the 8. Optimism is at a dangerously high level. We need results to fall our way, but there's a chance. And we have to take it.

Imagine if we won the flag from 8th? It all would've started from that upset win over the Hawks this weekend. Wouldn't that be something special?

 

[tribey]

Here's what will happen.

- North will lose all three of their remaining games
- Geelong will thump Collingwood next week
- We'll beat GC17 and WA16 by a combined 471 points to render Geelong's percentage irrelevant
- Adelaide will dominate all day at the Cattery only to concede the last 9 goals to lose by a point

Cue 7 days of KARMA FOR 2013 WHEN YOU ROBBED US OF FINISHING 9TH* (despite North Melbourne having a higher %)

Adelaide to then get annihilated on a far away field because umpires despite the free kick count being 23-14 in their favour.

No Tribey, you're doing it wrong. This is the optimism thread. Everything will be okay.

But now that you mention it, the Crows could totally throw the game so we miss the 8.

 

[Chokito]

This is why Chokito is going to Round 23 v Freo.

 

[Jakksynn]

I love the way you guys think, Norths percentage might just be our biggest hurdle. Plus the doggies coming back from Perth might be a bit sluggish against them. We have hope though

Yep, but...

[Raffo]

Too optimistic?

 

[SgtSchulz]

Can you imagine the media if it's possible in round 23

 

[Jonts]

I hope it's just a fun ride

 

[SgtSchulz]

I hope it's just a fun ride

Fremantle please keep the dream alive for one more week at least.
