Prediction Finals

[Jezzitizle]

Our form is known, and at least one home final is locked in.

What are your expectations for September?

For mine, I want to see us win a final just so the lads know they can, but with the progress this year, as long as we don’t get wiped off the park, making finals is a pass mark.

Discuss.

Prelim or GTFO

 

[freo_leo29]

2 finals minimum


if we somehow finish top 4 and lose both then I'll be pissed but it atleast we take in 2 finals

 

[VolgaBoatman]

It depends where we finish and who we play. If we finish 5th and play Western Bulldogs or Carlton, and maybe Richmond then sure, I expect us to win that.
If we finish 4th and play Geelong - I think in their current form they would beat us, then say we play Melbourne at home the next week, we could easily go out in straight sets based on current form - we would need to turn it around pretty quickly in our forward half.

 

[Cobbler]

Home final is locked. MUST win that.

That home final could be anywhere in first 3 weeks.

To lose it even if it’s a prelim would be upsetting.

Anything after a home final win is gravy IMO, but I still dare to dream of the ultimate.

Before the start of the season, I thought we might just scrape into the 8. Finishing 4-6 is a little above what I expected.
That being said, our best is very good and we could win a couple of finals if at our best. Conversely, our poor is pretty poor.
I am just going to sit back and enjoy the ride and take whatever happens into bigger expectations next year.

 

[gaskin]

Depends but we have to win our home final. That is my must. If we finish top 4 then that is at least a prelim appearance and I will be stoked with that.

 

[s_wd6]

Haven't played finals in so long I've forgotten how to emotionally recover from a loss, and I'm not too keen on remembering. Flag or Bust.

 

[Sweetback]

With a relatively toothless forward line and seemingly doing FA to improve it, my expectations are relatively low. We might compete well against other unbalanced sides like the Dees, Lions or Dogs, but I think against sides with both good defence and offence we will eventually crumble.

 

[noise36]

Looks like we wont finish top 4 which means a premiership is next to impossible so I think a pass would be winning one final, a good result would be winning two.

 

[MrDanggazz]

The home final should be locked, no excuses to not beat 8th placed, Bulldogs, Saints, or Carlton at home.

 

[Schauermann]

We should win a final.


Better 3 or 4.

 

[wild side]

If we play Richmond at home, that is a 50/50
In fact, most pundits would have Richmond Favourites

 

[King Tenz]

If top 4, prelim minimum. If 5/6 then just the one win will do me fine.

 

[Vimal Anand]

Other results doesn't matter we just need to win against GWS.so that we can avoid Richmond in elemination final.. if tigers are the opponent our chances of winning atleast 1 final will be close to zero

2015 PF remember sitting on the train on the way home with my head down staring at the floor realising that it was over.

It's great to finally have hope again.

 

[BStaff17]

I think we finish 5th now which will most likely means we play the Dogs.

As Carlton winning will mean we come 4th so if Carlton play finals we will avoid them anyway week 1.

I think a similar result to 2010 where we win a Home EF with a young group would be a icing on the cake to growth this season.

That would leave us with probably Collingwood week 2 at the MCG. We could pinch that but as long as we don't embarres ourselves I think I would be content.

 

[Gimme the Fyfe]

If the Saints smite the Swans we're good too.

If not, imagine the irony if Mundy gets his 6 from 6 and we go down in the GF.

It would be legendary to win it from outside the 4. A historically remarkable, come from behind finals campaign would be so apt for us as a club that is would the sweetest of redemptions.

 

[Docker82]

We need two of the teams between 2 and 5 to lose.

Melbourne and Brisbane are playing each other so there’s one.

Carlton could beat Collingwood imo. St Kilda won’t beat Sydney.

Most likely scenario if we win on Saturday is 5th but you never know.

 

[Freoforever86]

if we have a home Elim, winning that would be my pass mark. Everything else a bonus, but that’s not to say I wouldn’t be disappointed losing week 2 or 3.

 

[salim malik]

We will play Geelong away with another chance if we finish in the four or Carlton or Bulldogs in a home knock out for a 5th finish.
Win against Geelong its happy days but lose it will be against the winner of 6th and 7th Collingwood or Richmond. At home but tough.

Close to zero against Richmond? Have you heard of a bloke called David Mundy?

If we come 4th and lose week 1.

We play the winner of 5th v 8th.

We play the winner of 5th v 8th.

Great, that's a better outcome.

 

[StingBitten]

I reckon if we finish 4th we beat Geelong away and platform into a GF (Like 2013!!)

I reckon if we finish 5th and host a home final we lose against an average Vic-side with more finals experience (Like 2003!!)
