Only if we finish on same points as Dees. 2 points is better than a loss, but a win and in the 8 with 1 game behind 4th would be better.
I watched the replay (I rarely watch on TV and never watch it at all if we lose) - that's 2 hours of my life I'll never get back.
That was completely unconvincing. Hopefully we'll beat up on the Kangas next round and get the whole 4 points. But it seems the boys are doing their best to play themselves out of the finals. Still, there's a longish way to go. Go Cats FFS!!!

Annoying we didn't get the W - all the sides we are competing with for spot in the 8 have low percentages, so the extra 2 points would likely mean a couple of ladder positions at least.
This was talking about the Melbourne game
I so underrated Selwoods ball usage while i was thinking he was cooked getting 20 possies he was still delivering the ball inside 50 with poise. Now any mid getting 20 is a miracle.
Realistically, we all, and Cats knew the midfield cliff was coming. Talked ad nauseum about it for past few years. Most of us thought this year be OK while we wait for Bruhn, Clark et al to develop with both Guthrie and Danger as A graders and Blitz and Atkins as gut runners. Gutherie season done plus Selwood retired is now a bridge too far.
Trying to accept it. 2022 was worth it.

When you consider we've basically played most of the year without our best 3 midfielders from last season (and multiple injuries to those seated 4-6) it makes sense.
No Selwood, no Guthrie and limited Danger would have meant no 2022 Flag, does mean no 2023 flag.

True and Melbourne are unlikely to lose more than 1 game on the way in which means Geelong have to win all remaining games which is highly unlikely. If we can make it into 5th or 6th I'd be very happy.

I really thought we'd win comfortably against Sydney. I thought we had turned a corner against Melbourne. To put in such a non-committed and insipid performance one week later was a rude awakening. I guess it's hard for the older players to get up for each game. This is a good week to rest some of them. Isaac Smith, Dangerfield (obviously not recovered from injury), Duncan, Bews, maybe even Blicavs. I'd like to see Mullin, Dempsey and Knevitt come in and give Neale a go at centre half forward. I doubt Cameron will play. If we can't beat NM at home then so be it.

Danger doesn't need a rest. He needs to play.
I am not sure why the expectation is set that sav needs to be an A grade key defender or bust either.
Playing as a key defender in our team is not exactly an easy role at the moment with the quality of entries
Melbourne lost to GWS, lost to our middling side missing a few important pieces, lost to Essendon, lost to Freo at home, almost lost to Gold Coast and Richmond. Even Carlton gave them a game.
People need to reassess what likely and unlikely actually mean. Talk to Melbourne supporters about how good they are. If they lost that thriller to Gold Coast (umpires had a fair say) and we won on the weekend we'd be on even points. And their only injuries really have been Salem for a while and then Oliver for the past month.
