Is there anyone here who thinks we WON'T make finals? (September bound?)

[Finnishpie]

Can only imagine what would have been possible if we had a Richmond injury free season!

Or if Richmond had injuries like us!

 

[Soaring Magpie]

More likely to finish bottom of the 8 though. Relying on others to lose, alas.

The loss last week will cost us big time

 

[Kreme Pie]

I had to share this one too... it's just legendary moment in Australian Sport.
Couldn't stop laughing.

 

[Boris the Contradiction]

Now we all must become Sydney fans the next three games.

Carn the Swans!.

 

[Unknown Identity]

If you jinx us.. rargghhh..

After North won tomorrow only a game ahead of 9th.

Missing finals is a realistic chance from here.

 

[partypie]

I think if we can get Reid back and playing in the back half half for the duration,

You can forget about that now - injured his calf again in today's VFL game.

I just read that......

Too early. Don't forget Melbourne's loss to us last year.

Unless North lose tomorrow to the Bulldogs, we likely still need to win one of the last two, or hope that our % scrapes us into the 8. Still too close to call.

Ew. Never. No thanks.

Interesting stat..... not since 2002 have we had 4 players kick 30 goals in a season... and 2002 included finals.....

We'll be facing a weakened Port Adelaide outfit that has lost two games on the trot it really should have won.

Just need to get the job done next week and we can look beyond just scraping into the 8.

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

For someone who lost the stream after half time, can you fill me in on Sier's game please?

I never like to celebrate opposition injuries but Dixon out is huge for us and with Ryder semi-fit we are a strong chance for a very solid win.

 

[TradeDraft]

Not 100% but a Result in Win or Draw and we are a 100% In

 

[TradeDraft]

Squiggle has us at 97% chance of making the 8. I won't be confident until that ticks over to 100%.

Same Here Don't want to do a Melbourne of last year

 

[TradeDraft]

I think if we can get Reid back and playing in the back half half for the duration, he could be that quality kpb we are missing. Just saying, he’s done it before and can do it better than Dunn

Reid done for the Season I think

 

[Matt_352]

I'm not putting a cap on this year, we get guys like Howe, Goldy, Moore, Treloar back then we are good enough to win our 16th premiership

Don't want Moore Back-Body to Doubtful and Don't want to Push Treloar to Hard.

Howe be the Huge In

Goldy handy too and would also provide leadership missing after Dunn went down.

IF he can get his Back Right

 

[grayza2018]

Don't go the early crow! Port have really troubled us the past few years. No Dixon a big help but Robbie Gray the type of player who runs his hands together when playing us

Yes we do need to shut him down

 

[76woodenspooners]

Still too early to call it - plenty of permutations that have us miss out.

Only two rounds left to play and we could probably end up anywhere between second and eleventh.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Interesting comments from Buckley re Treloar. Said something like "he has enough time to make it back and it helps if we keep winning""

That tells me that if we make top four they wont feel like they need rush him back for a double chance game and would instead aim for a semi final, meaning he still has five weeks to get fit!!! Memories of Buckley himself missing the QF in 2003!!!!!

Miss out on top four and he plays EF but that means one less week to prepare.

 

[magpienato]

Right now my money is on us finishing 5th. But top 4 is still quite possible if we do win these next two games. We just need Melbourne, GWS or Hawthorn to drop a game and bang.
