They will need more than that to thump us.

 

[Carmelo Anthony]

We managed to thump them last time without Riewoldt, Ball and Dal Santo.

Munga are you greek by any chance?

[tribey]

saints dont want to go top - no one wins the flag from top !
also you should try and come third so you play the power home on the first week - that has worked for sydney and collingwood

We didnt need much earlier in the year to thump your sorry butts, AAMI Stadium or The Ramsgate dont bother us where we thump your arse's

 

[MaccasNeighbour]

The Power are red hot favourites, dont think anyone can doubt that. But we all know that favourtism and ladder position means squat when it comes to Showdowns.

Port have travelled from Darwin to Melbourne so may not be as fresh as the Crows who will not have been on a plane for 3 weeks.

Port's minds may be a week ahead to the Qualifying final, even against Collingwood they totally switched off in the 2nd half, despite the fact that percentage could prove to be very important to where they play in the finals.

I have no problem admitting that Port are a much better team but they are the same team the Crows thumped earlier this year.

Not Greek mate.

I think you would only have to beat the power for the Lions to go top. Then it could be either saints v power in Melbourne or Adelaide. Go Crows.

 

[Carmelo Anthony]

Ok cool, Munga in greek means like 'tough guy' or 'cool guy' so yea..

You've got too much time on your hands

I like messing about with spreadsheets.

Wanna know how much the Dogs have to win by to put Freo into the finals??

 

[DaveW]

Yes.

Less variation in margin this time. I guess cos the percentages are closer to 100.

Basically the Bulldogs have to win by 23 points to put Freo in the finals. Or 24 points if its really low scoring.
