Is it on?

[King Huskii]

8 games to go.

4 wins gets us finals
5 wins gets us a home final
6 wins gets us top 4
7+ wins probably gets us top 2

The next month will set us up. I don't think our boys would fear any other team at this point.

How's our run home looking

Think we can win six.

I'm thinking 6 more wins is very achievable. Cox back next week...Moose 3 weeks later. Full power for finals. Let's go FREO. We're rollers...we're rockers...mighty FREO DOCKERS!

 

[Piggy Smalls]

How's our run home looking

Away games vs Hawthorn (Tassie), Essendon (MCG), and GWS.

Home games vs Richmond, Geelong, Melbourne, West Coast and Port.

Only three of those teams are currently in the 8.

I get back to Australia on September 22 - I miss MOST of the finals! I can't be blamed for jinxing us lol

 

[Bigger]

Bugger. I was deadset going to blame you.

You'll only miss one final as we'll get a clear run to the preliminary

 

[Pivot Piece]

Draw opens up massively from here. We shouldn’t get ahead of ourselves like people did after the Melbourne game but our destiny is definitely in our own hands from here

 

[im_a_lazy_sod]

After being 0 wins against top 8 teams, we are now suddenly 3 wins

5 if you don’t include percentage that differentiates 8th to 12th all on the same amount of points

It’s never as good or as bad as it seems

I am starting a new job when I get back. I joked with my new boss about needing to go to the GF, he said. "I promise you will get that weekend off"

 

[Bastyy]

why are we posting in here again?? did we not learn from last time??

it only stopped going for a little while after the Bulldogs loss

On that note you can all thank me for the Sydney win because I didn’t watch it

Other than the last 5 minutes when I was in Harvey Norman buying a fridge and the poor salesman couldn’t get me to look at the prices

Then I made myself walk out but then went **** it and ran back in to watch McDonald miss

I was a mess , hooting and hollering on my own amongst the tv’s and fridges

 

[rubydoomsday]

ladder position misleading atm because of our 'extra' 2 points from the draw.

we're in a good position, but are we the 3rd best team in the comp? nah. don't be fooled by the ladder.

on our day, we've just shown, we can beat anyone, even the best in the comp. but realistically, on their day, Swans, Blues, arguably Pies, Dogs, Geelong and Brisbane can all serve it up to us.

yes, we've beaten some of these. but i still think we're about the 6th best team in the comp, with some hungry teams below keen to spoil the party if they didn't have consistency issues of their own (Port, Dees, GWS) and even others who will give us a game (Hawks, Dons).

we win 3 of the next 4 we're well placed for finals, and '22 exp should help dispel some of those jitters. but a lot of big games to win yet.

how far we go will come down to character and mentality in the end, the skills are coming good and the games we've blown badly this year were more due to focus and execution than ability.

What kind of logic is this?

 

[King Corey]

Get on with it and just win the whole ****ing thing you blokes.

Give the rest of Australia a team to support in September that doesnt turn the stomach when our own teams are nowhere near the action.

I'll even forgive you for Peter Mann and Peter Bell.

Oh "sorry for the intrusion".

So no love for Collingwood or Carlton

Damn...we have to beat more teams in the top 8!....or it doesn't count...right?

GWS and Port don’t look like they’ll be in the eight by the time we play them

Fingers crossed!

 

[FreoGirl]

It’s so hard living in WA and being in a position where you need to roll the dice and look like a dick if you buy airfares months in advance, but 2013 showed what a nightmare it was if you waited.

 

[Taylor]

If the games between sides with a game or two of each other are split evenly, this is how the ladder turns out. It shows the importance of winning the games against the teams you're way above on the ladder.

 

[go_the_dockers]

Win this week, and then win in Tassie vs Hawks and I will start thinking about top 4.

We always suck vs Hawks in Tassie
