The General comes to town......

[CaptainChardonnay]

Strap yourself in kids. The General is coming. General soreness.

Ladder as it sits now:

1. Hawforn - 60 points
2. Swans - 60 Points
3. Geelong - 60 points
4. Freo - 52 points
5. Port - 48 points
6. Norf - 44 points

One more win to Freo and they'll have 4th or best case 3rd locked away.

Standby for Rossy to strike again. You read it here first. And it will be in the SC prelim vs Brisbane as well.

If they roll the hawks and have a shot at a home final it mite be a different story.

Agreed. But would u bet on them doing so at the moment? After next rd they'll know exactly where they're going to finish.

Yeah, nah. Don't agree they are more desperate this year with there ageing stars.

One more win to Freo and they'll be at least four points behind third-placed Geelong.

By what sorcery would they then have third locked away?

 

[TurboBreuster]

Freo will not rest players unless they have clinched top 4. There is no way that Ross and co will gift Port the opportunity to turn round 23 into a playoff for top 4.. The only time I could see them resting, is in round 23, if they are 8 points clear of 5th/Port.

 

[TurboBreuster]

I think the Swans are a bigger worry. If they win their next two games (Saints and Dogs) and other results go their way, then they'll have clinched a home final prior to playing the Tigers in r23. FWIW I have 4 Swans premo's in my team.

 

[Feerits Elf]

Arguably the top teams should have five (McVeigh, Malceski, JPK, Parker, Franklin).

3rd or 4th makes no real difference to Freo. They're travelling week 1.

 

[Feerits Elf]

3rd or 4th makes no real difference to Freo. They're travelling week 1.

Notwithstanding, best case scenario with one more win is fourth.

And still not locked away as Port could smash Gold Coast and Freo to make up the percentage they need.

One more loss for port and wins become almost irrelevant for Freo

Freo will only rest key players if it's impossible for them to miss top 4.

WTF

You said one more win to Freo and they would have fourth (and best case scenario third) "locked away".

When it was pointed out that it was impossible for Fremantle to even be third with one more win (let alone have it locked away), you said it made no real difference anyway as they would have to travel in the first week of finals.

When it was pointed out that one more win to Freo would not even guarantee fourth spot, you introduced the new variable of Port losing another game.

I think you've been hitting the chardonnay a bit hard, Captain.

 

[big bootaaaaah]

Hey you must be cheating! Both your posts were identical and they're both near the top coming 2nd and 3rd respectively

Lol..

Not a chance given my worst sc year ever..

Or am I tanking to ensure the no 1 pick

Hawthorn will lose this week and I will be betting on it. After losing to St Kilda though, I can't see Lyon resting many for the Brisbane game.

No. I just pointed out another way that freo will stay where they are at 4th.

 

[DrummoSolo]

Perhaps I'm being a little naive, but I think with the bye coming really late in the year, and with Freo already having rested a couple of stars (and getting absolutely pumped that round), I think we should cost through without too much general soreness in these last rounds.
