Geelong 3-6 from here. We are in for a world of pain.

I assume we lose all of our away games and then Port/Essendon at home?

[Joker91]

richmond have had it easy these last 4-5 weeks and of course should have won.

Methinks it will start to get hard for them.

Away to the lions and port loom as does melbourne and geelong and the dogs at marvel.

See what happens come end of july weather they can still make it.

They have a hard July.

Not sure if trolling or just no idea...

"Had it easy these last 4 weeks"
Port - 10 point loss
Gws away - win
Freo away - win
Saints - win


"Hard July"?
Sydney (13th) at mcg
West Coast (18th) away
Hawthorn (16th) at mcg
Melbourne (4th) at mcg

Do you think Tigers can make it?
Cannot see them beating Brisbane on Thursday but could be looking at least 3 of that 4 in July

Not sure. The Essendon loss after being 12 points up with a few minutes left could come back to haunt us.

My prediction is
Brisbane - loss
Sydney - win
West Coast - win
Hawks - win

Would have us - 9 wins/ 1 draw/ 8 losses

Then round 20, 21 & 22 will decide our fate.
We play
Melbourne MCG
Dogs Marvel
Saints Marvel
Would need to win 2 out of those 3 games.

Last two rounds
North - win
Port - loss

We can still drop Brisbane, then sneak into the 8. If we win though then that makes things very interesting. We have to win all the games to the lower sides and mostly all the 50/50. Would't want it to come down to beating Port in Adelaide in the final game.

 

[HBFlanker]

Essendon look to be in danger.

Next 4 are all very difficult.

They are the type of side that could come out and win 3 of them, or lose all 4 by 40+ points.

Ive got them missing.

Yes agree
A win v Brisbane changes everything

Correct me if I am wrong only game they will start favs will be against the Western Bulldogs.

Port, Adelaide, Geel next 3. If they win most of them then they deserve finals.

It's the chaos result I'm hoping for. Brisbane travel to the G to play Melbourne a fortnight later, before hosting Geelong. If they lose against Richmond, the top 4 race gets cracked wide open.

Adelaide at home we'll be favourites. Bulldogs unlikely to be, they have a great record against us.

Wont be favourites against the dogs. Probably Adelaide at home

 

[Mr Meow]

Tigers have Lions, Swans, WC, Hawks, North, Dogs, St Kilda again, port and Dees. I think we win 6 and make finals.

Are you revising this? I would've thought Lions wasn't one you banked on winning anyway. But you'll probably need 7, not 6.

North Will roll tigers

 

[My Tilly]

Geelong finish 7th Richmond finish 9th

Richmond might topple as far down as 13th now.
Reckon Cats must get by Swans. 50/50 game.
Win that, they could very well finish 7th.

 

[STRONGandBALD]

6 with results our way yeah. It’s a logjam, 7 would be a guarantee.

 

[bradydaw91]

I've been split on us making it, with 6 more wins required to go 12.5 wins for the year. Most were pencilling us to lose yesterday, coming off a bye against a red hot lions at the Gabba.

Our run home was always going to be tough and all it takes is a few injuries to key players like Short/Martin and our depth gets exposed. Plus not having quality KPFs, it requires the midfield and defence to win their battles.

The swans game next week will decide it in my mind.

Still got a few easy games swans, Hawks, west coast, North is already 4 wins. I’m confident we can then pinch 2 of Dees, Port, St Kilda and Dogs. But yeah if we lose against swans that’s the final nail in the coffin.

 

[Macca180]

Cats win tonight... pencil them in.

[BrainOfMorbius]

Based on Richmond's performance Thursday night I'm not as confident as you that Sydney and Hawthorn are eight points in the bag

 

[BigVic]

Anything can happen

 

[TheUnicorn]

Adelaide literally knocked us out of the 8 with the final game of the season when they win vs West Coast.....
