Yeah. We've got there and still not played our best footy. Seriously.

True Lach, don't think we've played as well this season as the last half of last year. Reckon we're building up to it though so look out the others. At this stage I reckon the first final may see us with our strongest 22 of the year.
 
Haven't Essendon officially hit the free-fall now. Looks like the Bombers are shot down and just making the numbers for the top 8.

Wheels on the karma bus go round and round, round and round, round and round...
 
secretly I love Freo.

C'mon Qunizy, come on over to the purple side. You know Pricey always wanted you over this part of the world...
 
What great results from today (late last night/wee morning hours here): Essendon goes down, Richmond falls...win today, we clinch a double-chance! About 12 hours to bounce...who's ready to exorcise some Demons? Carn the mighty Dockers!

Purple suits me Everyone says so.

football is committment to a cause. even a lost one. I have to be an eagles fan.

But I hope you dockers fans enjoy success. you deserve it

Thanks, Quinzy -- and big up to your crew for handling Essendon for us last week! ;)
 
Anyone done a ladder predictor lately?
Really starting to get curious about our finals match-ups?

If Sydney can beat the Cats next week then we should finish 2nd. Even if the Swans beat Hawks the week after we should get enough of a % booster in the next 3 weeks to stay above them. Would hate to finish 3rd and play the Cats as there is no guarantee the game will be at the Dome. Geelong have been trying to host a final down at Kardinia Park for years now, and a final against Freo while the 3 other finals are at the MCG the AFL might thinks its the perfect time to give them a real home final.

Absolutely correct.
The biggest non Freo game of the year for us Sydney v Cats.
If Sydney win and everything goes normal we would get the double chance at home and I would back us to make the Grand final

That would absolutely blow to play Geelong at skilled.

Surely the FFC have enough gumption not to just bend over and take that scheduling? Whilst we are an interstate team, we have a bigger supporter base in Geelong - and a fair portion of it will be flying across to watch.

No way the AFL will allow a QF to be played at a ground with a capacity of 26,000 compared to the dome 55,000.

The AFL can't schedule finals at Skilled yet. They have contractual arrangements with the MCG and Etihad. That may change in the future but for the next few years, all Melbourne based finals will be at the MCG or Etihad.

They are also working on another upgrade for Skilled to include more seating.

oh boy does that Geelong vs Sydney clash loom as the most important fixture in Docker's history... Weird to say that considering the Dockers aren't actually playing in it...
 
Shouldn't need to be said this late in the season but ...... anyone, anywhere, anytime. Stoked to have top 4 and double chance sewn up - now all up to a bit of luck, how we handle the pressure and how we play on the day. Play at our best can match it with any team.
 
I would have thought a draw is no good, because it would put geelong on equal points with us... Sydney by a small margin, followed up by a loss to Hawthorn :)
 
A draw would almost guarantee us second spot, as I don't think Geelong will be able to make up the %. Pie in the sky stuff, draws rarely happen, and we still have to win our next 2 games.
