Crows win showdown then get a showdown final. We lose showdown and Port finish 3rd instead of 6 and crows finish 8th.

I really want the showdown final. One of the best chances of an "away" semi or prelim upset too.

It wouldn’t be far fetched at all if the top 4 is the same as 2002. Then you have Melb just outside the top 4 like in 2002 as well.

If pies finish 1st, I just don’t want a similar upset to the 2002QF! That still stands as perhaps one of the biggest finals upsets of all time.

 

[Angus Young]

Top 4 decided- just the order

pies, lions, melbourne and port

Bottom 4 of the 8 between:

cats, dogs, essendon, freo, crows

 

[GoldbergsGold]

10 Geelong

I predicted them 10th, last September on this thread, when everyone else thought they were a shoe in for another premiership for some reason. I was very certain they would decline.

Everyone says that about every premier every year.

Injuries have threatened to derail our season but it's been nice to recently add Stengle, Rohan, Henry and SDK (even if the latter two haven't hit their straps yet).

Dangerfield, Duncan and Dangerfield are expected back for our next match. That would only leave Sav, C.Guthrie and Stanley out which is at least manageable.

Most importantly we've only had 3 games at GMHBA so far. 6 to come with closer to a full list should get that winning record above 50%. As for final finishing position, a lot depends on how consistent Melbourne, Bulldogs, St Kilda, Freo and Adelaide are. 4th through 10th is going to be very close again.

Top 4 has been decided.

1. pies 2. port 3. dees 4 lions

Spots 5-8 are out of dogs,saints,crows,essendon,freo and cats

 

[LuckyBounce!]

Dees are far from guaranteed top 4 like everyone is saying. Pies and Cats next 2 games, lose both of those they are fair from a lock.

Yeah, don't think Essendon or Adelaide finish bottom 6 now

If doubly fit, that should be a boost

Few more to be flipped. Pies fans might have something to say especially!

Haha Dangerfield is very important but one of those was meant to be Holmes, who coincidentally lost the plot as a midfielder once Dangerfield was out.

 

[Angus Young]

Geez the Bulldogs have blown it last 2 weeks for a top 4 spot.
.
They have to win this week.

 

[My Tilly]

Haha Dangerfield is very important but one of those was meant to be Holmes, who coincidentally lost the plot as a midfielder once Dangerfield was out.

Apparently he was playing injured and instead of injections before each game, went in for a surgical clean up and has recovered quickly.

I had us finishing 8th but now thinking we finish 6th.

Since what game? He was on fire in a 5 game stretch concluding with the Crows. Very important player for us.

I'm not sure sorry.
There was a game where he managed 15 touches in the first half and only 2 in the second half and those at the game noticed him labouring.

The Richmond game and yes I noticed the same thing but then heard he'd injured himself the week after. Didn't make much sense to the naked eye. If it gets him back to 100% for the upcoming run of games in my eyes it's potentially worth the dropped GWS game.
