Hawks have Eagles in Perth in last game. Eagles need to win to get home Final. Surely that will do it.

It’s us vs Adelaide and Essendon. Dons lose one and we win both it’s done. Barracking for Pies two weeks in a row makes me feel dirty!

I don't think you can completely discount Hawthorn. R23 often throws up a shock or 2 and Clarko is such a smart coach.

Hopefully we win both our games, making them a non-issue

They're not beating the Eagles in Perth, surely.

Next week is shaping up as a finals prelude.

1st plays 2nd
3rd plays 4th
5th plays 9th
6th plays the 2019 premiers
Dockers vs 7th and Norf vs 8th should be fascinating too. Both games are about 50/50 and will help shape the final 8.

Should be a cracker of a round.

AFL have scheduled the likely elimination final vs Adelaide for Mars stadium capacity 11k 1.10 pm on a Sunday mid August!

Definite scheduling fail there- they should put the Ballarat games early in the year.

Playing it round 23 is madness, probably they didn't expect us to be in contention.

At least will get a good crowd.

 

[Chicago1]

A 10 point win to West Coast? Only 10 points? Damn you, Eagles.

At least they haven’t played there before, but I’m really worried about that game. We haven’t played great there and Crows played really good footy tonight v Eagles.

Have faith. I reckon we're in good form.

We should beat Adelaide

They are slow and we should’ve able to kill them with fast ball movement

Depends on the conditions. If the ground is wet and heavy, it will slow us down and bring us back to Adelaide's terms, who train and play in those conditions most weeks. Be surprised if we even kick accurately at goal. Our defence will need to stand up the next two games if the midfield isn't able to drop back and help out

I’m normally the most pessimistic bloke(i know that hard to believe) but we have played twice in the rain this year and they are among our two best wins. Port and Lions

IF we get past the Plastics I’d say we are on such a high we put the crows away and do it easily regardless weather

Eagles looked slow and sluggish, not necessarily because of the Crows.

Our record of being unable to string together a run of wins is a big hurdle even if we do make finals.

True, although I seem to remember a string of wins some time around September 2016...anyone remember what happened?

We ain’t that team yet.

 

[bresker]

We've won 3 of last five, 6 of 9 since the bye. St Kilda had that new coach factor & came out firing - we dragged it back to a 4 goal loss. Brisbane are the form team of the comp and we kept them honest. Not many teams get on a roll in an even competition & we're still developing.

Bev knows how to flick the switch for finals.

 

[Bont2Bruce]

Had a great drive to work today listening to drugcheat fans calling talkback radio bemoaning their inept team performance on Saturday night.

 

[Next Waiting]

I'm worried that if we make 8th spot and the pies finish 5th, Eddie will sack Bucks to get them over the line in the EF.

 

[Dogs Rule]

No, but there were plenty of doubts and patchy form this time in 2016.

I’m thinking our record this year is significantly weaker overall than 2016.

It’s natural to feel bullish after a massive win.

 

[GetDimmaBack]

Terry Wallace, on SEN, has just pointed out that Essendon has had one coach since 1969 who's taken them to a finals win.

Of course, that coach is Sheedy.

Ten other coaches have not!

Arrogant Essendon fans, meditate on that for a while...

I think you mean to have won a final?
They have played and lost finals under coaches other than Sheedy in that window. Most recently in 2017 for example, where they were smashed by Sydney in the EF by 65 points.

Err, yeah. Fixed now.

Sorry about that.

Probably wrote what I did originally because that would have been even better.

Pseudo Freudian slip?

Good chance Stringer won’t play this week.

Must be serious since he sat out Saturday night as well.
