So if GCS wins do we finally stop talking about finals or?
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
