Prediction How far do we go in the finals?

[stefoid]

Honestly, it's not a half bad idea

I am constantly amazed that when we kick it to a leading dalhaus that we err towards over his head instead of at his toes where he would murder his defender.

 

[RedWhite&Blue]

Kick grubbers into the F50 and make every contest a ground ball you reckon?

I actually don't mind this idea.
The ball comes in high and the Eagles will love it and feel in control.
If the ball comes in low bouncing unpredictably then any defenders stress levels go through the roof.
Put Dal, Clay, McLean, Hrovat and Daniel in there and I honestly think we'd have field day.
Might be time to think a bit leftfield with the gameplan because the script has pretty much been written and so has the result... Unless we do something different.

Drunk as * so maybe this will explain. Have faith in our team, the boys believe so we should believe. Back them 100% because that's is what motivates them. Stop being so ******* negative and enjoy the season. We have came so far so why give up now? We all thought it would be a s**t season because of injuries but done so well.

Back the club and players and be happy with whatever result we get.

In Bevo we trust

I went to the game last night with my Crows mate and he was filthy at how they played. Sloppy skills and a lack of intensity.

Our midfield has better depth than most teams, but I can't see us winning the flag this year without Adams

Where would the Crows be if they had even half the injuries we have had. They lost one player through suspension and went to water. I did read some stats that said the crows had their top 25 available for over 95% of games this year. The healthiest list in the comp. Good on them, not their fault but they don't have near the depth if injuries strike from now on.

If we travel to the West we don't go through I don't think . No Defenders means we can't beat that forward line.

Just a question - how long is it since you have beaten us at Subi/Domain? Know you seem to beat us at Etihad in latter times but can't recall the result when you have had to fly West?

 

[frenchconnection]

Just doesn't feel like it was meant to be for us this year.

When the injury gods hit you it's a real uphill battle and a bummer. Can remember it happening to the Eagles back in 1993. Anyway at this stage it looks like you will have to travel West for the first final. May the best team win, and just hope it's a good game.

 

[frenchconnection]

On top of that... If we win tomorrow we finish equal third or fourth depending on Hawks game, barring percentage.
Is starting to show how our set shots has come back to bite us in the ass big time. Had that been half decent we would have finished 4th or 5th regardless of how certain game's turned out.
However we go, its been a good year considering our forward line, goal kicking and injuries.
Still a shot in every game we play this year.

It's been a strange year as far as the teams in the 8 go with so many teams with only percentage separating them Just maybe for the first time since Adelaide won it from 5th under the final 6 system, perhaps the winner may come from teams outside the top 4? Mind you feel that it's for Sydney to lose the GF as they are on fire.

Last win was 2010. And before that 2006.

If we do play WCE in Perth, then I hope we can for once return the favour and beat them on home soil in a final. They did it to us a while back, we were favoured to win and we lost. Time for pay back.

 

[TempleKelvington]

It was too much to expect Norf to fire a shot and beat GWS, they were totally out classed, but I did hope. I have come to hate the AFL Hare Krishnas, it their fault, they let Weagles win.

It will be a similar story for the Pies today against the Hawks. It's possible, but highly unlikely. Hard to believe we win 16 games and we still not in control of our destiny.

1999 qualfying. We fell of the cliff after that game.

Yeah.....that was a shocker....MCG, I was there.

 

[gimp!]

That Naitanui goal... Thought it could be good for us at the time, but all it did was solely * us. GWS still get a double chance, but we'll finish on 15/16 wins and play in Perth.

 

[The Inbetweener]

our horrendous goal kicking has come back to haunt us. People kept saying our % wouldn't matter as long as we kept winning. Well, not only has it cost us a double chance, we don't even get a home final despite (probably) finishing 1 game off top spot

Genius

 

[Bemoreboyddog]

Well it's official. Our finals series will be over before the first weekend of finals starts.

 

[Lizard Lukin]

With a full side you would probably be a chance, unfortunately this one could get messy.
Hopefully a bit of luck goes your way next season.

 

[SCRAY72]

It's been a good season, could of been better or could have a lot worse with all the injuries to key players.
Alas it will end at Subi, we simply have no one to play and stop Kennedy it is as simple as that,Dogs midfield will have to control possession to restrict supply to Kennedy Darling and LeCras to have a chance.
Looking forward to 2017 hopefully membership hits 40K again.

 

[charcoalchicken]

I give us pretty much no chance in Perth against West Coast, just hope they have a good crack and push them and don't get absolutely smashed.

More than likely we'll get absolutely smashed though lol.

 

[BrisDog]

When I watched Nick Nat kick that goal against GWS and then today that Hawthorn Potato ruck man kick a goal from 60 to level the game I finally realized that there is no God. All those Sunday's mornings wasted. 13 years in a Catholic boys school. Literally hours spent kneeling praying to the almighty - it took was a second game spud with a 2 metre ball drop to mongrel punt one from a million yards out.....

 

[Dog 36]

I don't know whether we will win or lose vs WCE but I do know that we will give it our best and as we have all year against all odds fight for everything.

 

[the bee sharps]

we'll beat west coast then probably get kill by the cats second week

 

[OlympicDoughnut]

Will lose, and Norf will probably beat the Crows

We'll have to beat WC (away), Hawks (G), Sydney (away) and then Cats (G) in successive weeks to go all the way. TAB have us 50 to 1. We should be 1000 to 1. But as long as there's a heart beat......climbing Everest might be easier but would be a flag second to none if they pulled it off.
