How many of the next five games do you think we will win?

[Ambrose Burnside]

I will flip out massively if we lose. Just like every week.

 

[BlueandGoldforever]

We are now 2-1. Two games to go.

[MIKE85]

If we win our last 3, I reckon we might finish second. Cats Richmond and Brisbane are a chance to drop a game each at least, could even snag second on percentage with 12 wins if lots of results go our way (which they never do) lose to the dogs or saints though, and it’s fold city

 

[Cuzz09]

Doesnt matter.

If we finish top were playing in Brisbane.

Better to rest our guys and scrape into 8th now then reset for 1 last shot at it

[MIKE85]

With a pretty finals bye, we could play week one in Perth. Probably won’t be getting a prelim in Perth, but we choose out of Adelaide or Brisbane depending on who we play, and where the advantage is.

Geelong v Tigers is the big one in round 17. If Geelong win that, then we just need to win 2 out of our last 3 to make the top 4.

 

[KERRPOW]

I think we will struggle to come up against the dogs. The dogs are a trash team but they will get themselves up for this game.

Saints another tough one.

Loo norf

 

[Cuzz09]

prob need to be 8 goals up at 3 qtr time v dogs.

seeing as we only kicked 9 v Ess the backline better be up for it.

[MIKE85]

Brisbane have got Collingwood, GC, Swans & Carlton. Could win them all, or could easily drop one, maybe even 2?? Cats could drop either of Richmond or Bombers game. Richmond have Cats and Crows, so only chance for a loss there is Cats. So top 4 still a chance even if we drop one of our last 3, top 2 a good chance if we win all 3. Surely all these other teams around us are fatigued and banged up as well.

 

[RookiePick]

Ideally we win all three and then the chips can fall where they may.

We are getting invaluable exposure into some of our youngsters/depth so that is the silver lining to our injury crisis. Not sure our MC would give them a look in otherwise.

Tigers got the job done last year with 5+ of their top 22 out of action when they had to. Good sides find a way, even if it's not pretty.

 

[Ok Boomer]

I think we must win all 3 to finish top 4. Relying on Geelong to beat Richmond is not a comfortable position regardless of how well structured Geelong are.

 

[MIKE85]

I get all optimistic and confident when we’re 5 days out from our next game. Then dogs kick the first few and it’s sky is falling, fold everything

Game day melts are therapeutic.

The science backs it up.

Just get Nic to play the best 2 months of his life and drag us to a flag and he can retire and we'll rename the Stadium after him

We def need to keep fighting for Top 4 instead of conceding the fact we arent playing home finals and being content with 5th. Right now its not so much about the double chance, its about denying premiership rivals an easier ride into the GF.

If Richmond have to play 3 do-or-die finals to make it to the GF that helps us out massively if we are their opponents - they will have had to be psychologically switched on and pumping at 100% longer than we would have to in order to reach the same destination, which may give us an edge for our 5th flag.

As for where we should be playing finals, my vote would be to stay in Queensland wherever possible. Less travel and we need to prove to ourselves that we can do the job there. A SF win at the Gabba would be a huge mental boost to this side.

Geelong v Tigers is the big one in round 17. If Geelong win that, then we just need to win 2 out of our last 3 to make the top 4.

Surely just one other result can go our way and Cats beat the Tigers next round. Must beat Saints next week

 

[BlueandGoldforever]

We are now 2-2. I thought we would go 4-1. Maybe being too optimistic but if we had a full squad to pick from I am sure we would have played better last night.

We have to beat St Kilda. At the very least it will instil confidence back in the guys.

 

[BlueandGoldforever]

Well, we ended up 3-2. It should have been 4-1.

 

[Rowan18]

3-2 is a pass for me. Didn't deserve to win bulldogs game and the saints win shouldn't have happened given our injuries.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Hopefully the second quarter vs the Bulldogs didn't decide our season

Saints win was massive. Will Geelong beat Richmond? Richmond have a lot more to play for

 

[Karim Abdul Yeo]

Let's not forget about Lions, they have Swans and Carlton, specially that Carlton game looking to make the 8 and lions have some big outs, it could potentially turn nasty for lions finishing 5th if they drop both.
