The logical option would be for whoever finishes 2nd to play the Friday night qualifying final. Consider it an extra perk to finishing top.
Top two finish awaits!

Without nearly the most important player(NN).I think they also had mclovin and Schofield succumb to injury in that game too?
Sinclair was late out as well maybe?
West Coast also beat us convincingly without NN and McGovern.
And LeCras
We're just managing ourselves until the real stuff starts.
I absolutely love it that a lot people have put a line through us.
Lowering expectations for our team seems to work wonders for our boys sometimes.
Hopefully get a repeat of when the Geelong players and supporters thought they were a lock against us in 12 and 13 finals before the ball was even bounced.
I agree - that's what I was thinking.

Big win this week will be good for some momentum. Will be interesting to see the Adelaide result.
Will also be interesting to see the team port puts out next week. Top
Two is and has been sewn up. Hoping for a 7+ goal win minimum.

I think Ross might be willing to concede the minor premiership depending on how we play this week. He has never fixed ladder position to face certain opponents and first up against the Hawks, he wouldn't care.
This Melb game is probably the most important game just for confidence, if we can't score 100+ psychologically its going to play up on the players minds.

Or we can try to win and get a home final?
Minor premiership is sealed with a week to go! Best case scenario despite less than amazing form recently.
Even better, it's done with a week to go, meaning that half the team can be rested next week.
Looks like Sydney will be our Qualifying Final matchup for sure. I'm happy with that. Prefer them to the Bulldogs despite their finals experience.
Also, it's very likely that the other QF will be here, unless St Kilda somehow beat the Eagles, which they won't.
All of this has been made possible by two fluky events: our last minute win against Richmond a while back and, crucially, the Eagles' draw against Gold Coast. If not for that, they'd be level with us and would beat us to first on percentage (unless we beat Port).
It's a win-win-win all round for Freo today.

They won't travel unless one of Sydney or Hawthorn drops next week as well. Only have to travel when they finish 3rd now.

Exactly. Not sure why you would want to tank and miss out on a potential home prelim safety net if you lose your home qualifier. Sydney could lose also and you end up finishing third and travel to Melbourne.
No way you tank. Saints will get destroyed.

Got fired up on Facebook (too many do gooders with namby pamby attitudes towards banter against other clubs) to the point that I likened those who did not like my top of the ladder check in to those who support racist political views etc.
The status got edited as it got a wee bit heavy for some. But still checked in to top of the ladder.

You lose and it's likely you will have to face the music against the Hawks at the G. Your mob would be much better off playing them in Perth.

WC will beat st kilda next week thus setting up a challenging QF v Hawrhorn,which IMO WC will win.
IMO it's setting up to be a derby GF.
Freo and WC are in the box seat to play in a historical derby GF.

We are no chance against Hawks in Melbourne. 50/50 in Perth so we better win next week.
