Geelong - absolutely they can.Can either Geelong or Carlton go all the way? Both teams are in-form right now and the teams I am scared to play against come September

We'll know by this week regardless.Too tough getting it done outside top four.
Cats blew their chance against Sydney. Had to ice the game in final minute.
You can guarantee Melbourne, Brisbane and Port losing a couple more but they already banked enough wins.
Carlton have to beat Collingwood and they probably make finals (remarkable).
Win against the Lions and the hunt for top 4 is well and truly on....
Why do people keep stating Melbourne are certainties for those games? They almost lost to MCG bunnies Brisbane at that ground. They did lose to Fremantle there. Lost to GWS, umpires saved them vs Gold Coast, got thumped by Essendon, lost to an out of form Geelong side without Dangerfield, Guthrie and Cameron.I don't see it.
Melbourne's our best target and they are 1½ games clear of us. They face Adelaide, Richmond, North Melbourne, Carlton, Hawthorn and Sydney.
That's a fairly easy fixture.
I think they smash Adelaide who are fatigued and faltering. Richmond's a middle of the road team and won't have a ruckman to stop Gawn.
The only game I see them going in 50/50 is Carlton. They possibly lose two games but probably only drop one to Carlton who are in red hot form.
Even if we win all our games, we just won't get in now. As I said, they were able to sew up their top four aspirations by beating Brisbane.
I highly doubt we'll win out from here, but if we did, we'd make top 4. That's where catscollector's wrong.Why do people keep stating Melbourne are certainties for those games?

Richmond and Carlton have plenty to play for and their form is around the same level as Melbourne's. Sydney on their day, on their home turf are still a decent side too. Adelaide are unpredictable but have weapons and may bounce back.
They'll drop two I reckon.
Brisbane have to travel three times and have only won a road trip outside of Marvel twice this year - vs North Melbourne (neutral ground) and GWS (genuine away match). They're no certainties vs Gold Coast or Freo, and will drop the Collingwood game. Lose this week and drop two more and they would fall out.

But you are also assuming we are certainties and have a tougher fixture than Melbourne. We drew with Sydney when we had the game in our hands with 10 minutes remaining. We blew a golden opportunity no matter which way you look at it. Sydney are bloody atrocious (won't even get near the eight).
Wins against North Melbourne and Essendon are ok but expected.
I see us dropping another couple of games as well. Collingwood is the main one. We have already lost 7 games for the year. We just aren't top four quality.
Dropped too many games we simply should have won.
Melbourne been in the same position but managed to get it done. That's the difference.
If Oliver returns, just completely alters their fortunes entirely.
You mean they would do a Richmond on themNo you're not.
Collingwood would take a giant steaming s**t on either of them come September.
Yes and no. The Gold Coast game is the one that has really hurt us. We are a better side than we were then
I'm not assuming. In your hypothetical you said IF we win all of our remaining games we have no chance of top 4. I disagree with that notion. Would be close to a 50/50.But you are also assuming we are certainties and have a tougher fixture than Melbourne. We drew with Sydney when we had the game in our hands with 10 minutes remaining.

I feel much better for having read your latest masterpiece.I guarantee you the 2022 Geelong team won't win the flag either,
Agreed, cant see Melbourne jumping above Brisbane and dont see them beating Collingwood in the first week so might aswell drop to fifth, give cats 4th and have the home final against whoever finishes 8th.Geelong will win the flag if they make the top 4.
By the way there was no difference in winning or drawing the Sydney game. Melbourne and Brisbane's % gap is wide
Fair enough, our thumpings and their close games have tightened it up but do you really think when comparing our fixture lists that we can make up % on them? If we do we will be going better than I thought and likely winning every game.Melbourne's % is 125 v 123.
We are both nearly identical.
Come back to me if I'm wrong about this SeptemberI feel much better for having read your latest masterpiece.
