Could the eagles miss the 8?

[PTizzle]

Highly, highly doubt they will miss. Injuries have crippled them and now that they have a few back their confidence has been shot to pieces.

However if they get a couple of important blokes back (Embley, Kennedy? Will he play again this year?) they should make finals. Don't think they'll do any damage unless they get a favourable first week lineup (home final not against Freo).

Cox isnt 100% obviously, and NicNat might be the same. Seemed to be working overtime on his back.

Not sure why Priddis is off the boil.

Kerr's the only one winning contested ball....what a player he is.

Geelong will feel they have a good chance next week.

I think maybe you should just stop for awhile.

**** off

Thats interesting from a saints perspective. West Coast will beat Port obviously but can easily lose the other three.... need to find the ladder! % almost identical.... we need to beat Geelong though

Finding Freos draw...

Fremantle draw

Adelaide (away)
Richmond
North Melbourne (away)
Melbourne

St Kilda

Melbourne
Geelong (Ethiad)
GWS
Carlton

I'd have Fremantle winning two. Essendon could drop all four as well or five including today.

Assuming West Coast win one, Essendon none, Fremantle two, Saints three

West Coast stay in, Fremantle move into the 8, Essendon out

Fremantle win three games however and St Kilda wins all four then West Coast will need to win one of the three hard games. Actually Fremantle has to win 3/4 to make sure St Kilda cant overtake them.

Geelong/St Kilda result could be huge for a number of clubs

Saints could be without 3 players for some of those games though depending on the MRP lottery.
