So if GCS wins do we finally stop talking about finals or?
No we stop talking about finals when we lose our next game , likely next week but if not , then probably the week after

IF we continue to win (that's the unlikely part ) , we will make the finals because we now have a similar (actually, slightly better) % than the teams around us, and the teams around us don't have easy draws either.
=>Pies play Port (useful but not necessary that Port win ), us , lions , giants and Hawks
(Thankfully can't see them beating Hawks and Port , and losing one of those + our game would be enough to make up the difference)
=>Suns play blues , port , Essendon and us
Can't see them winning all 3 of those first 3 games
=>Crows play lions , Richmond , north and saints . Luckily the north game is in Melbourne , but Adelaide still remain the biggest threat (they are only 1 game ahead of us now but they're probably the most likely team to make the 8, looking at each of the draws ). Still, North will be favourites , and are on-off even moreso than Adelaide , so let's just hope that North turn up that week . They've had 2 losses in a row so are due for some form. Plus, North's incentive will be securing 5th/6th and a home final.

Fwiw Essendon play Richmond , us , suns and Carlton . They may well win all of Richmond /suns/Carlton but could also drop a game and therefore drop out of the 8 . Things would be interesting if all of a sudden , 2 spots in the top 8 freed up

If Geelong beat Freo next week and Port beat Pies /regain their form , Freo might slip to 5th :)(so 8th will be worth something). I'd only be happy with an "away" Derby final :)(as they're the ones who'd be losing their home ground advantage ).

unpopular opinion alert - as long as we are not in premiership contention i couldnt give a shit about sydney winning the comp with COLA. One, the severe offended from hawks, cats and docker supporters is a good read and two no body gave a shit in 05 and 06 and the same sooks bitching about it now were making the swans to be the good guys and us the villains. Even fat head maguire who campaigned against Brisbanes concessions went quiet on the matter for a couple of years before firing up again.

You actually make a good point, one that I didn't recollect, Swans have had this cola for years and probably cost us the 2005 premiership because of it. Stuff it I'm jumping on their bandwagon this year in spite of the hypocrites like Eddie that wouldn't say a word about it years ago.

When asked if he would like to issue an apology to Smith, a reluctant Conca offered a less than heartfelt response.

"Sorry mate … there you go," he told the reporter.

Richmond need to beat Essendon tonight!

Let our slim finals chances begin!
Richmond are so shit, Essendon look good to start, flood gates will open if they keep it up, Need a goal quick smart but they are very average.Essendon pretty much lock up a spot with this.

We still can make it but it Essendon takes up a finals spot leaving one spot left for Collingwood, Adelaide, Gold Coast then us.
