Analysis Grasping at straws - we're still mathematically a 60% chance of making Top 4

[Roo Lives Again]

Another melt thread.....oh good





An oval is an oval. We can win anywhere against anyone. Favourites get beaten everyday. I love being the underdog. People have forgotten all the good things this team can do that we've talked about all season. We had a bad game and I won't go into all the reasons why on this thread I've done that on other threads already. The Crows team that faced West Coast will be a different one that goes into the finals. West Coast believe they can win it all from outside the top 4, and they can. So can we.

I have fond memories of Collingwood beating Geelong last round last year to ensure our finals berth…can they do it again…Nope.

Pies are not a completely terrible team, thrashed Geelong and even GWS at Spotless.

Hawks will probably beat them. But it doesn't matter. Just got to string a few good games together and we'll be in the granny. That's all it takes.

How did the GWS North prediction go?

 

[PCORF]

5% chance

Probably a better chance of winning the lottery.

Watch Collingwood roll over like a bitch tomorrow. Bookmark it.

Yeah not great, I know tomorrow is a long shot.

I guess we can see you next year then? Thank goodness.

No I'll stay around - I know you'd miss me

The Boomer factor didn't lift North but I think the Swan factor will lift Collingwood. Will be good to see Hawthorn out of the Top 4 for once as well

It won't make a scrap of difference. Swan hasn't played all season.

It is what it is . Playing north in the first round of finals should provide us with some belief Aachen which is probably eroded from the Eagles loss. We must make a few key changes though . I'd love to see knight and Milera in.

Who would people rather week 2 of finals, Hawks at AO, or GWS at Spotless?

what sort of question is that?

if we can't be confident at home we're nowhere

they can't and neither can we.

 

[Roo Lives Again]

they can't and neither can we.

I don't believe that. Especially as this year there is a bye. Alistair Clarkson agrees.

Rather be having a rest waiting for our prelim

 

[DD#23]

I don't believe that. Especially as this year there is a bye. Alistair Clarkson agrees.

when did he say that? If it was any time after their loss to West Coast of course he said that.

did you also know contested possessions aren't important?

Some very short memories when it suits. Some very long memories when it suits. Not much rational thought in between after losing, even though to a very strong side in very good form.

Stay positive Baccs. This board needs it even if it doesn't know it.

IMO Collingwood v Hawks was always the biggest chance for an upset. IF they can pull off a miracle and big bad Cloke can snag a couple we're right back in it.

If they can't, this season is as good as gone

 

[Rotayjay]

So, two of our three possible 'get out of jail' cards are now expired. Personally, I think the chances of Collingwood beating Hawthorn are **** all, but I will very happily eat those words tonight.

I still don't think a team from outside the 4 can win it, despite the evenness. That loss was so pathetic, it's almost fully persuaded me that we are a class below. You better prove me wrong Crows! I don't care that I'm being very negative. This is a time for negativity - a very good season and a small but realistic chance at a flag is probably gone.
