Come onnnn Pies hold on. Come on Freo. Daddy needs a new finals campaign.
Pies aren't going to win by enough to make it relevant.

Can't quite see us beating Richmond by 90 odd tomorrow.

Still, be good to give Dees supporters a bit of a fright. Also opens up a chance for West Coast to overtake them, which doesn't look impossible with Adelaide resting some important players.

Everything on Freo now!

Pies have steadied...should win from here.....think the Dees were 41 down at one point.....like us against them a few weeks back...it takes a lot of petrol out of the tank to get back close let alone get up and win.

I always use the "magical 30" formula...if a side is 30 or more in front at any point...they usually win.

40 or more in front......increases the win rate dramatically.

Not overly fussed if we don't make the 8, I don't expect we will thanks to our % yet again but FMD I would love so much for Melbourne not to make it after the massive media wank-fest over them and their floggish supporters going on about them playing finals. Them missing would be the most Melbourne thing ever.

So it's about five goals for the Eagles to get in... Gives them plenty of impetus in a game where Adelaide would be more concerned with self-preservation!
Melbourne are imposters and dont deserve to be in the finals but neither do the WCE downhill skiiers

Didn't realise how much of a flog Tom Mcdonald is, complains to the umpire at every opportunity, had a massive crack at Cox after missing that goal but has made 3 horrible turnovers this quarter, massive campaigner!
He's a GOP, outside of Hogan they really haven't had much luck in any KPF so he's simply filling space atm.

That game could be pretty much summed up in that 20 second period where the Pies have a run on, fumble a bit, push forward, quick kick into the F50 for a strong contested grab, handball to free player in the square which is too deep by a little and he stumbled into a touched behind off his knee. Then the kick in occurs immediately straight to a Pie about 20m out, and he misses.

In the next forward foray into the square , hyphen will attempt to mark uncontested, spill it, get tackled and snap a goal whilst the rest of Melbourne watched.

Would have been great for us is the Pies didn't shit the bed after being 41 up, but they did, good news in that they managed to beat them though. Now either the Eagles win for the lols, or we smash the Tigers and Freo also win.

Kinda want the first option just to see the massive backpeddling occur, because it will be a thing of beauty.
