Whilst incredibly unlikely, a upset win by Gold Coast does a massive job for us.

Pies are bringing some solid players in. Would be amazing but beyond unlikely.Whilst incredibly unlikely, a upset win by Gold Coast does a massive job for us.
Doesn't really suck to be in this position 2 years in a row. The years when we were well out of contention by this stage sucked.Pies are bringing some solid players in. Would be amazing but beyond unlikely.
Sucks having to be in this position two years in a row. Shame we didn’t put the foot down against Geelong.
That goes without saying, but it was nice in ‘15 and ‘16 heading into the final round knowing our spot was assured.Doesn't really suck to be in this position 2 years in a row. The years when we were well out of contention by this stage sucked.
I know there is a lot of finals permutations to play out so really anything could happen, but my understanding of the various scenarios is that by the Dogs beating Freo, its almost a lock that you do not travel to Perth nor potential travel either on the basis of probability, meaning to win the flag you need to win 4 games straight in QLD.
That is very much doable. If you win in Week 1, a lot of heat and pressure will come on the top 4 to win their games. Dogs will have the freedom knowing that wont be on them, given their entry into the 8. Top 4 are vulnerable after Week 1, imo.
Good luck.

In a season like no other the 2020 flag is very winnable for the top 5 teams.Love the optimism but I don't think anyone is seriously thinking of the flag. Winning a final and losing one in a close contest would make me very happy.

Our best is also pretty good and if we were to produce it at the right time like 2016 then I think "we can win this year premership".
Ie we have to winIn response to the OT. To play finals (IIUC) ...
We win OR
Two of the following happens:
- Pies lose x2
- Saints beat Giants
- Bombers beat Deez
We should know our predicament regardless of other results before the match. No excuses really.
So the way I see it, these are the results that we should be cheering for on the weekend
Eagles to beat Kangaroos
St Kilda to beat GWS
Essendon to beat Dees (I'm about to throw up)
Crows to beat Tigers
Swans to beat the Cats
Dogs to beat Dockers
Port to beat Pies
Why saints to beat Gws?
Saints lose they end up 8 th and go to Perth?
Or am I missing something
Prefer at least one of Pies and Saints don’t care who just want us to avoid Perth for elimination
Essendope cannot beat an under 10s teamIf Saints win, and Essendon win, we can lose and still make the 8.
