High Stakes

[E Shed]

With one round to go Essendon are currently in 8th spot and are the only team that can be dislodged from the finals. Either of Hawthorn or Port can bump them if Essendon lose their last 2. Interestingly Essendon's last round is against the Hawks which sets up a ripper if we get up tomorrow.
Of course Essendon can shut the gate by getting the points tomorrow.
Makes for an interesting game! Hope our boys come to play.

yeah today is massive
we've destroyed ports chances now lets destroy essendon's
bombers vs hawks will be epic if we win

Alot of Hawthorn fans will hoping we beat Essendon today.

Ess - 38 - 99.47
Haw - 36 - 92.96
Port - 36 - 88.50


Port should beat North next week meaning they will finish on 40 points. Its just all a matter of how much % they get from that game.
If we beat Essendon this week and then Hawthorn beat Essendon the week after (although they did lose to them previously in the year) Hawhtorn should make finals ahead of Port by % only.

But who knows i think the most likely finish of the above three teams is going to be;

Ess
Port
Hawks

Should be fun though, espically if we win today.

In a season that is petering out without ever really getting started for us, we want to win so that as neutrals we can watch games like next weeks Hawks v Ess go at each other with it all to play for. Last realistic chance for a win too so lets finish the home part of the 'home and away' with a win, keep essendon sweating for a week more at least and give us an extra game actually worth watching next week.

Be good to win, because we're sure to get the snot kicked out of us the week after at the Cattery

Nah, we'll smash the pussy's

 

[DockersMad]

I love your attitude silverscope.

Seriously, this is a big game. I'm leading the office footy tipping by 1 point and I've backed our boys in to bring home the bacon for me. I know second will pick the Bombers and I'm hoping he also got Friday night wrong like me.

This is serial.

The Kangas just beat the Saints. We've got nothing to lose now.

Get your money on Freo.

 

[Jetau]

Yep, the Kangas beating the Saints means we will get pick 4 at worst, even if we win. I was really ambivalent about wanting us to win today, but now I am 100% hoping for the win. Richmond would be some kind of chance to beat the Eagles next week anyway, which would leave us with pick 3 again.

But of course Melbourne could beat Saint Kilda next week and we could end up with pick 1.
