Final round vs Sydney

[RoaringTiger]

If we need to win this to make the 8, does Vickery come back in? Massive selection question!!!! Hopefully we have this dilemma!

Jumping the gun a little bit, I think. Let's worry about Adelaide first!

We beat Adelaide and Sydney. c'Wood or Essendon drop a game and we are playing finals.

Very difficult. But not impossible.

 

[Bojangles17]

100% focus on Adelaide. Right now

One week at a time

That's why I bought it up now because we may not be in that situation in rnd 23. Interested to see people's thoughts whit still a potential outcome!

Actually feeling like I am jinxing things here and regret opening this thread. Mods can you please shut down? Thanks!

Maybe we bring back Hampson so Maric can play down forward like the natural forward he is. That was the reason we got him. It would be a good time to show the footy world how devastating this combination will be.

As bad as the Saints are its disrespectful to forget them. Yes we should win, but its still got to be done.

As for Vickery it depends on if Griff continues his current vein of form. He cannot possibly come in if Griff keeps it up as we cannot experiment with 3 talls in such an important game even if long term i hope we can make it work.

We need Essendon to beat West Coast too. West Coast's percentage is too high for us to overcome so we need to finish a game ahead of them. They have Melbourne and the Gold Coast in the last two rounds. If West Coast win next week there will be no finals for us even if we win all 3.

I disagree, If we win all three, the Hawks beat Pies in round 23 and Adelaide lose to North in round 22, we are in regardless of the WCE v ESS result. Although we could finish 7th if the bombers win - despite that I still hope they lose!!

Currently it sits at this:

West Coast: 9 wins, 10 losses, 111% (Essendon, Melbourne, Gold Coast to come)
Richmond: 9 wins, 10 losses, 104% (Adelaide, St Kilda, Sydney to come)

If West Coast win all three how do we make up the percentage? Unless we smash St Kilda by 100+ and West Coast struggle to put away Melbourne they will finish above us if they win all three.

Lets just get past Adelaide first...

Short answer we dont. West coast 7th and Richmond 8th.

Lock thread, two weeks and way to many "if's" early

 

[TigerImposter]

I'm glad there are people on here like my older bro who has tediously drawn up ladders for the last 32 years trying to convince me how we can make the finals
All these years I thought he was insane I'm now convinced he's normal and I may have the issue
All these years I just tell him if we win we're chance and just nicely send him off
He's been hassling me again texting me complex equations and scenarios with various ladder predictions which I delete without bothering to read them
After all of this I'm now getting sucked in again which scares me bc it has a recent historical probability of 29/32 of failing
My Conclusion is I'm not getting involved , but just sticking to the cliche ,"taking it one week at a time" and keep winning Tigers bc that eases my stress levels and increases our odds
I'm really glad now that there are people around who do all the worrying for me. Much appreciated guys and great thread

Fills in the time between games. ;-) seriously tho - we have to win all three. Else it will take a miracle.

The Hawthorn Geelong game is massive for us. We actually want the Hawks to win. This will leave Sydney and Hawthorn atop the table by a game and considerable percentage. Would mean that Sydney have a top2 position locked up regardless of winning/losing in round 23. They then might rest a few players.

 

[partycorolla]

Regardless of the position of our season come round 23, I think we need to be playing TV/JR and Griff in the F50 together, rotating with Ivvy in the ruck. Seems to be a formidable forward line for the future, provided they all figure out how to play together and not on top of each other.... especially with Martin/Lids/Titch/Lloyd/Cotch/Gordon and maybe Garlett eek, hanging around down there for crumbs......

Quite frankly would like to beat them at their best. And using this logic, wouldn't hawthorn be resting players against the pies. Not going to rely on other teams injuries or to lay down and make it easy for us. Would prefer to beat the best, god knows we've lost to the worst this year!!

We can do that through the four weeks of the finals.

If we need to win: No
If it doesn't matter: No

Amongst the six wins they included GWS, Brisbane, St. Kilda.

Let's just worry about Adelaide for now. These guys have turned from beatable to machines in the space of one week and the train is heading straight for us next week. Let's hope we have enough composure and class to withstand their force

Yay go cheats.
