Very happy with mine...

Perfect. Essendon on top and Carlton and Collingwood sitting outside the eight:thumbsu:

From what I can see this is how I rate our draw.

2 completely unwinable games: St Kilda and Western Bulldogs

5 unsure games: Sydney, West Coast, Brisbane, Fremantle and Hawthorn

1 easy win: Richmond

I can see us winning all of those 5 unsure games, but we do need to win 4 and have a good percentage.

This just shows how important this game is against Sydney. If we don't win, I can't see us beating West Coast, Brisbane, Fremantle and Hawthorn, but if we do win, we can afford to lose 1 of those games and still make finals.

In reality I think we will lose 1 of West Coast and Brisbane, but I think that should be enough to make finals (hopefully).

Anyway, this has been a great year for the club and even if we don't make finals we have done a lot better than I expected and I think we have a great side for the future.

Good summary.

My only point of difference with it is that I see the Freo game as tougher than the Brisbane game.
 
Winnable Games: Sydney, Western Bulldogs, Richmond, West Coast, Brisbane, St Kilda, Fremantle and Hawthorn.

Losable Games: Sydney, Western Bulldogs, Richmond, West Coast, Brisbane, St Kilda, Fremantle and Hawthorn.

We have self belief.
 
We seem to do well in Melbourne.

Round 15 - 2008
Essendon 25.13 (162)
Brisbane 18.8 (116)

Although I see Brisbane as a bigger crucial game. They influence our spot on the ladder more than Freo.
The last time we played Brisbane was on that fateful day in 01. :(

I cried after that and I was only 8.

But yeah, I think the Lions have a good record at the G. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

5 of Brisbane's 8 wins have been at The Gabba.

Their 3 wins elsewhere have been against struggling sides such as Richmond in Round 7, North Melbourne in Round 10 & the Hawks (who had a ton of injuries, including Rioli) in Round 12.

To tell you the truth, I have a feeling that we can redeem ourselves in Melbourne. Crucial game, but if we're fit, it'll be over before it even starts. They haven't shown enough outside The Gabba to convince me otherwise. I think they've been hugely overrated by the media.

Yes it is possible that Essendon can finish on top gaining the minor premiership with both Collingwood and Carlton missing out on making the finals with Carlton finishing on the bottom.

With Adelaide placing fourth it will mean that we will play the Crows first week of finals at the MCG, a place where Crows are less dominant and not used to as much. After thrashing the Crows, we will play Brisbane after they upset the Saints in the Semi. We will defeat the Lions easily to cement our spot in the GF. We will play against Adelaide in the GF who upset Geelong in the Prelim, then the Grand Final will be Deja Vu of earlier in the finals series.

This is how the finals wil play out:
1ST QF
ESS def ADEL
2ND QF
STK lost to GEEL
1ST EF
WB def HAW
2nd EF
BRIS def SYD

2nd Week:
1st Semi:
ADEL def WB
2nd Semi:
STK lose to BRIS

3rd WEEK:
1st QF
ESS def BRIS
2nd QF:
GEEL lose to ADEL

GRAND FINAL:
ESS def ADEL

Its gonna be a good year...I can feel it :thumbsu:
