Will we make top 4?

[HODGEYROAD]

4-4 with our list made me feel sick

A lot better sitting 10-4 and looking the goods for another top 4 finish.. #threepeatthorn

 

[Roddy]

Apparently we've won more quarters than any other team. Good sign...

Collingwood
Freo
Sydney

Carlton

First time a team has won 12 quarters in a row since Hawthorn in the 1980s according to the coverage last night #scaryshit

Didn't we lose the 2nd quarter last night?

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

Didn't we lose the 2nd quarter last night?

Yep 3.4 to 4.3

 

[Flukey!]

Nope, not the way we are playing so far.

Ok, well I got that wrong....

 

[WatWouldCyrilDo]

By a fair margin as well.

We've won 47 quarters this year, WCE 41, Freo 37 and Shitney 35.

That includes 14/15 third quarters and 12/15 fourth quarters.

Just quoting the channel 7 telecast. Wouldn't surprise me if they were wrong

 

[cryptor]

Didn't we lose the 2nd quarter last night?

Last 3 quarters against Essendon, 4 against Collingwood, 4 against Fremantle, 1st quarter against Sydney. 12

 

[mustang]

We will finish top

 

[Taskmaster]

No. We will make top 2

 

[HairyO]

1st or 2nd who cares. The AFL will try to shaft us with scheduling.

You can add North Melbourne to Richmond's list (a team who has a very good record against Richmond)

I think it would take a lot for the top 4 to change in terms of make up...top 2 is still live for the Dockers, Eagles, Hawks and Swans though

 

[11sjw]

Simple. Win out and top two assured.

Add Collingwood to richmond's list also.

 

[Dipper]

Yeah it's a real shame, we'd be up to 5 now.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

So top 4 is now basically assured being 2 games + % inside, but top 2 is going to be a task funnily enough its very good for us if COLA $wans can do us a favour and beat WCE.

 

[Buckemenico]

Looks like the road to GF this year involves at least one final in Perth and possibly 2.looking at fixture I think odds are WA teams in top 2, and we need them to blunder if we lose to WC in Perth. Seems weird given our percentage is basically the highest ever but it is what it is.

Disagree.

West Coast have a tricky run with games against Sydney, us, Fremantle and Adelaide.

Even if we drop the West Coast game they will need to win 2 of Sydney, Fremantle and Adelaide to stay ahead of us

If we can keep our percentage beyond 150% we stand a very good chance of finishing ahead of West Coast even with a 17-5 record.

I think the way its looking with Fremantle and West Coast winning this weekend we will likely need 18 wins for top 2 or 17 ( if WCE is included in the wins ) as for top 4 we now only probably need to win 3 of our last 6 so thats pretty much secured.

Why?

As long as we defeat the Eagles 17 wins will likely be all that we need - subject to the derby result

I said in brackets 17 wins we might get away with as long as we defeat WCE in our wins.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Im still maintaining 17 wins will be enough for top 2 ( as long as it included WCE in this wins) It seems we only need 2 more wins for top 4 which is a formality.
