Oppo Camp Get in Eagles!

[Mr_Bojangles]

As a West Australian Cat I'm feeling cheap, nasty and very much used having to go for the Eagles at the moment.

My ideal scenario for how next week plays out:

- West Coast beats Adelaide on Friday night
- We beat/smash Melbourne on Saturday
- Sydney versus Richmond; it'd be nice to see Richmond win, but if the Swans win then so be it.
- GWS beats North Melbourne
- Bulldogs smash Freo and give their percentage a boost
- most importantly, Collingwood win their final game of the season getting over Hawthorn.

That would leave the ladder looking like:
1. Sydney - 17w
2. Geelong (swap if Richmond win) - 17w
3. GWS - 16w
4. Adelaide - 16w
5. West Coast - 16w
6. Bulldogs - 16w
7. Hawthorn - 16w
8. North Melbourne - 12w

Likelihood of happening probably ain't great, but a girl can dream can't she. This involves actively barracking for Collingwood which goes against everything I have been taught - you barrack for 2 teams, Geelong and whoever is playing Collingwood.

Alternatively, if we would rather play Adelaide week one of finals, North gets up over GWS, meaning they finish 7th and Hawthorn finishes 6th.

It is an insanely close ladder where you can play around with the results of the final round in the ladder predictor and have the Hawks finish anywhere between 1st or 7th.

Crazy year.

I'll learn their bloody song if they get up

Really don't want to go there. I still wake up in cold sweats with the eagles theme song in my head after hearing it endlessly after the 92 and 94 grand finals. Its an awful evil song.

Do you know what's even worse?
"We're, a happy team at Hawthorn"
or
"We, are, the navy blues"

Go EAGLES!

Yeah, Hawthorn's the worst.

I'm excited at the prospect of heading to a minimum of two big games at the G if we land a home final week 1.

Having said that, I realised I haven't attended a winning final since the big dance in 09. Was at the St Kilda and Collingwood losses in 2010 (missed the Freo game in between), living in England 2011-2013 and was there for every minute of the 2014 straight sets debacle in 2014. Attending 6 losing ones in a row would be a touch demoralising.

I'm praying hard to the footy gods for a West Coke win. They're flying high!

 

[Isaac Norm Smith]

I haven't been confident all week that the Eagles can topple the Crows. For some reason though, my confidence is growing. Sloane is a massive out for them, and their midfield is their biggest weakness. Nic Nat is a big loss, but I believe the Eagles have the form and the confidence to give it a good shake. Would love to see a Cats vs Hawks QF, go Eagles!

 

[Mr Meow]

I've had a similar feeling. With Sloane out, if Nic Nat wasn't injured it would have been the cherry on top for them gaining midfield ascendency. If they keep their mojo in spite of his absence (a big if) they can match up fairly well on them I reckon.

The only othe team song I know virtually all words to other than ours is actually the Hawks - before the boos come in, the reason for that is that the Geelong Supercats use that as their team song with some good change:

We're a happy team at Geelong
We're the mighty Supercats
......

So I don't mind hearing too much, especially at the basketball but when it is played at the footy I just sing the adjusted words

Carn Eags.

*gags*

 

[Hoooops]

WOOOOOHOOOOOOO

 

[Mr Meow]

Eagles on top - need to put the foot down.

 

[catempire]

More like BADalaide. Amirite?

 

[Hoooops]

Need more eagoals.

 

[catempire]

Get in!

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

Eagles need to settle, and take the game on.

 

[Mr Meow]

Well that hurts.

 

[Cataholic]

For all that they made negligible impact on the scoreboard

 

[King Cold]

If Adelaide lose tonight and GWS win tomorrow, the Crows are likely to finish 5th and face the prospect of getting knocked out by North in an elimination final.

According to the main board flogs, the Crows winning the flag this year is written in the stars, so I'd love to see egg on the faces of many of the flogs that post there.

North can't beat Top 8 sides sadly

 

[Two Planks]

Eagles should win from here.

Just need pies and roos to win and we will play crows at the MCG next week
