News Final Countdown - Predicted Ladder.

It also tips us to lose 2 finals and get bundled out at the prelim stage.

Piece of shit that it is.

If we get to top 2 then I think that might reverse. esp as have us winning at home v Port and v Hawks during H+A season.

Actually according to Final Siren's formula, it is quite likely that if Freo win this week they go into premiership favouritism.

This is done by Final Siren , the best predictor I have seen.

It gets updated regularly (this result is already on there), the top 4 looks very tight.

He has us 4th by the smallest of margins. I would suggest one more big win will have us 2nd.

It has us beating the eagles by 5 goals

Good stuff, our squiggle should improve massively after it records the real margin then.

Apart from finishing top two. I think I'd rather the first week of finals sees us playing Port in Adelaide as opposed to going to Melb or Syd.

It's imperative we win that first week. Don't see us making the GF otherwise.

So need a top 2 finish.

I'd feel more confident in Melbourne to be honest.

Against Hawthorn? Surely you'd rather play Sydney or Port?

agree 1000%

We didn't last year!

 

[estibador]

We didn't last year!

We didn't win the premiership last year though.

That extra week of no travel could be handy.

 

[Kram]

Trip to Adelaide or Sydney in the first week looking pretty likely at this stage.

Anywhere, anytime! If we win in week 1, we play a prelim at home. By the time we play the GF, we won't have travelled for three weeks.

 

[estibador]

Anywhere, anytime!

Rhetoric is nice, but practical advantages are always better.

Sure, but I really don't think travelling in week one will effect us three weeks later.

Nah.

Not playing the QF at an actual finals quality footy ground hurt more.

id prefer adelaide

 

[salim malik]

We will finish 2nd ,Port 3rd
Beat Port , 2 weeks break then demolish Hawthorn( who will have lost to Sydney first week) at Subi and after a travel free month front up in the GF gainst Sydney who will also be a traveling side
The perfect entre to a succesfull GF

We could effectively play Port 2 weeks in a row if they're our first final.

Wow never thought of that. That would be interesting viewing.

What are the chances of us playing a final at Simonds again? could really use the ground advantage since Geelong isn't.

Geelong finishing in the 4, especially ahead of us, is 50/50 to unlikely. And hard to see them making top 2.

 

[Kram]

Most likely Geelong could host a final down at their shithole against Gold Coast or Norf.

 

[Silent Alarm]

The wheels'll end up falling off Port a bit, I just can't see them as a great enough side to win it. They've also been incredibly lucky on the injury front. The Swans are a good side but we play other teams for ten more weeks, not them. And when we face them, it'll be once: and Freo's just as capable as them of playing hard, clinical, tough, smooth football.

For a realistic pessimist, I like our chances. I really do. The Hawks'll be in some good form but so'll Freo. And in the finals, has Freo ever really played cowardly or done stupid shit since Lyon came in? Aside from the Grand Final...

I'm on the same page. I think we'll drop one game between now and september and we'll be in 2/3 come the end of the year. and I think we can beat our first round match-up particularly if we are second (for obvious reasons)
