Where will we finish ?

[M Malice]

I have us finishing 5th playing Richmond

How many games have you got us winning over the final 3 rounds?

 

[PTizzle]

How many games have you got us winning over the final 3 rounds?

Only one (Saints) - I think we match up poorly against Carlton but acknowledge it's definitely winnable. Our good percentage will certainly help either way.

 

[Viceregal]

Wish I could be as optimistic as you Dave.

Not even sure we'll make finals.

Just did the ladder predictor & this outcome is still possible.

If we play like we did in the 2nd half on Sunday, for the next three games, it is more likely than not.

Edit: You don't want to know how many attempts it took me to get this just right

'Just right' would have had Richmond in ninth ... but possibly not possible to get both Brisbane to 10 and Richmond to 9 at the same time!

 

[Lion_LegacyXL]

Probably the most optimistic scenario unless Melbourne drops another game other than against us in round 23. If we finish 4th the only way I see us making it to the grand final is by defeating the Cats at the MCG in a qualifying final which is unlikely. It would surely be our biggest scalp since our premiership era if we got it done.

 

[martinson]

We beat Carlton at the Gabba and St. Kilda then we're almost assured of Top 4.

We'll be short odds for both matches.

I guess we'll continue to get teased all the way to finals haha.
Bring it on !

Can we arrange for someone else to knock the Demons out of the finals maybe?

 

[Section 5]

Carlton should struggle without Matt Kennedy & [PLAYERCARD]George Hewett[/PLAYERCARD] in their midfield
Also [PLAYERCARD]Nic Newman[/PLAYERCARD] from defense who has been playing solid footy will also be missing

So i recon we win 2 (Blues-Saints) of 4 and finish up closer to top 4 than bottom 4 of the 8
Hope so anyhow

4th place could be a great outcome based on where we are now

If we win 2 of 3 we are a certainty for top 4.

Top 4 will be IMO -

Cats
Demons
Swans
Lions

Unless if Collingwood continue on their merry way.

Surely they don't beat all 3 of the Demons, Swans and Blues on the way home?

Only need to win as many as we do to stay above us

 

[BerryGood13]

Let’s not forget Freo. They will finish above us if they win 3. Which they will do if they beat the Dogs.

That’s what I have. A ripper first final at KP. Forfeit that one and rest up for week 2.

You would think it would be at the MCG with GMHBA having limited capacity due to major renovations.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Assuming Melbourne finish 2nd we'd want to finish 4th or 6th for our best chance to avoid them before the GF

Yes. You would think so…

 

[Dalions]

Unfortunately we can’t win at either place.

 

[davemc_lions]

Pies a game ahead of us. I know people here writing them off they beat the teams we lost too.
I am 50-50 on us against Blues and Saints.
Demons I say we win. As no one expects us too.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Yeah we'll be cheering on the bulldogs on Saturday

 

[M Malice]

I just caught the end of Alistair Lynch on SEN discussing the Lions, he said we are missing a blue collar big forward who crashes packs brings the ball to ground and takes the occasional mark... also the difference between our best and worst is too big, very easy to score against, teams going coast to coast.

Would be interesting to see a comparison to other teams on how many intercept marks we give up in the forward half and how we've compared to previous years

Needed Melbourne to beat Collingwood tonight...

we will finish 5th now
