Prediction Dream finals scenario.

[Chrispiesssss]

Since finals is almost certain now, I thought we could put through our prediction/dream finals scenario for the season 2019.



Week 1: In week 1, we just have to play an interstate team at the MCG. Unfortunately, it’s more likely we end up playing the bombers back-to-back (R23), which is annoying. However, play an interstate team at the G. Get the crowd on our side, and anything could happen.

Week 2: The Giants over there would be our best bet. Hopefully, we play some tall defenders and neutralise their KPF. We have generally played well against the Giants except for that 1 quarter couple of weeks ago. We generally travel well.

Week 3 : Travelling back-to-back might be our weakness. However, can’t see the Cats knocking anyone over, and I think they’ll lose their top 2 spot to the 2 interstate teams. Hopefully our experience can outlast the youth of the Brisbane team. Repeat of this year’s smashing.

Grand final: We unless Cox against the Tigers.

All of this depends on the fitness of Wells, Beams, Stephenson, De Goey, Aish and Moore. If we can get 4 solid weeks from these players, we could push teams.

Don’t see us finish top 4. Plus think we need the extra game with many underdone players.

Would love it to be our year but whatever variable, can’t see it happening unfortunately. The Footy Gods hate us more this year or was that last year with Dom Sheed?

 

[Frank Gallagher]

We ran over the footy god's dog after having sex with their sister whilst being in a relationship with their mum.

We only have ourselves to blame!

 

[Pragmatic Shill]

If we play GWS over there, Jesus...

 

[SpongePie]

Not sure how this is a dream scenario? 2 back to back matches on the road?

 

[Chrispiesssss]

If we play GWS over there, Jesus...

We have only twice at the Giants home. Once cox of Stevie J’s crumb.
Second time, we played way too short.

As long as we don’t play Richmond at the G (till the Grand final), and Eagles anywhere. I’m happy. iMO, Everyone else is beatable for us.

Pretty sure this is the dream scenario:



EF: Knock out Essendon
SF: Knock out Richmond
PF: Knock out Brisbane
GF: Revenge

Find me a better one than that.

 

[The Plowking]

Realistically I see us losing the first final.
Possibly I see us winning a final.
Less possibly I see us winning 2.
A little less possibly again I see an unrealistic grandfinal appearance.
Unrealistically, I see us winning the flag.

Most importantly, I'd rather lose on the way than another Grand bloody final!

That's ideal

Surely we can still make top 4?

Then what did Lou bury at Vic Park in 1991?! so, it wasn’t the Colliwobbles at all?

 

[Brad Goodman]

Surely we can still make top 4?

Can, but there's too many things that would need to go wrong for Richmond and GWS for it to happen.

 

[sideswipe]

Surely we can still make top 4?

Unlikely - a $5 chance.

Essentially, we need to win our 3, and both Richmond (Car, WC, Bris) and GWS (Haw, WB, Suns) go 2-1 or worse.

AFL bias against Collingwood clear to see on Saturday when Sam Reid wasn't paid that free to help GWS along.

If we win against Melbourne, we'll definitely be favourites going into Adelaide. Richmond will most likely drop one against WC or the Lions. Our best bet is GWS losing to Hawthorn on Friday, if they don't then finishing 5th-6th is all but assured.

Agree. Winning 4 finals to win the flag will be far more enjoyable anyway.

 

[Gaben]

Can't see Richmond dropping the Eagles or Lions at the G, top 4 on the line and they are flying at the moment.

Best scenario for me is Port first round, then go up to the Gabba where we play well then get the next two weeks at the G.

Just don’t see how Geelong keep top spot.

North, Lions & Blues. Will drop one at least.

Think Eagles & Lions top 2 is almost certain.

 

[Deleted member 133504]

I've had a dream twice before the season started, that we played off against Brisbane in the grand final. So for me I guess, literally the "dream" scenario

Eagles Lions top 2 is far from certain - and the big spoiler could be Richmond. Indeed, there is still a big chance for the Tigers to snaffle top 2 themselves, and it is almost completely in their hands. They have WC and Bris at home, so if they beat them both by around 20-30 points, leaving aside other results, that would bring Richmond to a superior %. All very speculative, but WC and Bris a long way from certainties for top 2.

Excuse me whilst I clean the spew off my keyboard.

This time we get revenge for 02-03.

 

[Frank Gallagher]

Doubtful even if we win all remaining games, there's no 8 point games against the top 4 either which makes even more unlikely.

Losing 8 point games against Richmond and GWS pretty much sealed our fate.

 

[jackcass]

None of this speculation addresses the really important question.... how many finals will the Cats play at GMHBA Stadium?

 

[yeee_haaaa!!!!!]

We belted them up there about 4 years ago - the year before the stevie j crumb. cloke went to town and we smashed by 30+ from memory after easing up alte. So we've definitely won up there. Reckon we also beat them by 100+ up there early days, and in a close one maybe 5-6 years ago when i recall josh thomas snapping a goal to seal it
