I don't see how one week in the WAFL will improve his fitness.
Maybe to test out how his ankle and body holds up under the rigors of actual physical pressure and to see how well he can compete for the ball, lead etc. No point dragging him to AAMI against port for half a game though for example.
 
it's probably better to have north lose, so we hold onto our home elimination final. top four is gone.
How is it gone????? If Hawks or Pies lose one other game other than vs WC and WC win them all they are in

Also I would much rather make top 4 and have a chance at a flag than finish 5th or 6th win first week then lose 2nd week

Agree with this. We are still a chance. Earlier in the season we would all be backing ourselves to win all 3. Recent form is driving a significant degree of pessimism. Form can be turned around quickly - especially if JK comes back and makes a real impact. Assuming we deal to Port we will be favourites going into the Pies game. Win that and it's one game left. And if we rate ourselves as no chance to beat the Hawks at the G then how the hell are we ever gonna win a premiership?

And Collingwood will start favourites against us next week. And hawthorn again the week after that. It's mathematically possible. But highly improbable that we make top 4.
I agree it's not likely - trying to stay positive though. I would have said we would be favourites against the Pies at home. Assuming we beat Port somewhat convincingly.
 
The fact that we that we are counting on some of the best teams in the comp to loose as well as winning the rest of our games suggests that the top is realistically gone.
But one of the losses will be vs WC if WC win all their games. All they need is either Hawthorn or Pies to slip up in one of their two other games and then it's in the Eagles hands.

If we don't beat Port Adelaide then we should just shut up shop.

Unless we lose to port (in which case, our season is over anyway)- we'll deservedly be favourites against the pies and rightly so (given it's our home game, and given the close result earlier in the year during the 'away' game). Sure our form has been patchy, but in a way, so has the pies' form (their last few wins have been unconvincing...)
 
I'd rather he played in the WAFL this week, if only to spare him the plane trip
As long as he gets through it without soreness/any other kind of setback, bring him back fresh for the Pies game :thumbsu:
 
I really dont see why we wouldnt be favourites v the pies, cant see the boys wanting to lose more than 1 game this year at home...
I think we have every chance and think of the confidence going into finals..
When was the last time the pies played us at subi? 2010?? it may have even been 09?

I'm pretty sure 2009 is the last time in the regular season that we've played them over here, lost by about 20 points iirc. We played them here in the 2011 NAB Cup as well. Collingwood play well on the road so it's going to be a tough task.
