Can we do this, and will Port beat Carlton?!

Just the matter of beating the most dominant team of the past few years on their home turf. Then hope a tiring Port Adelaide can beat a hungry Carlton. Hmm.

Carlton couldn't even manage to beat a horribly out of form Essendon side, and Port are hard to beat at AAMI. I think port will win comfortably

I'm a believer believing we will overcome the 5% chance of making finals!

Carlton/Essendon matches are always close. Plus, Carlton were inaccurate which kept Essendon in it for most of the match. Port will be favourites, but something tells me Carlton will just want it more.

I'm hoping for a miracle to happen for us; Selwood, Stevie J and Hawkins to get injured in the first quarter.

We were at $5.75 to beat WC in that game, they were @ 1.12

Then that means that if we lose and North win, Nirth make top 8 but if Carlton, North and us all lose, Carlton make top 8. We are by far the outsiders in the race to finals. Keep thinking that if we had beaten the Bulldogs in round 1, we would be in a way better position!

Gastro for the whole team?

Also the Adelaide game that we lost by a couple of goals after leading at 3 quarter time

One more consideration for Port is that they will have their last ever game at AAMI and want to win for their fans before heading off to Melbourne.

Also, we can do the Pommie thing and play for a draw

(As long as Port win)

Even better

Welcome

What if Carlton and the Lions both win? That would be the most bitter-sweet feeling ever.

That would suck. Do not want.

I'd be happy with a win over the Cats - but it won't happen. Couldn't care less if we made finals or not.

 

[Haso]

I'd be alright with that. We could be proud of the boys for a massively against the odds win, and also slam Port for their incompetence in not beating a dejected Carlton.

The win over the cats would be insanely good, however the finishing ninth would feel s**t.

If Brisbane beat Geelong and Port Adelaide can knock off Carlton, Brisbane are then in the eight!

 

[patfullfankezz]

No pressure or nuffink.

 

[paulige]

I'm not concerned with what anyone says about our chances of making finals.

It's the final round of the season, if we win we will be sitting 8th. How exciting is that??

I'm not in Australia at the moment but I'll sure as hell be hanging off my phone watching the scores.

It was apparently impossible for us to beat West Coast in 2007. It was also impossible for us to come back from 52 down V Geelong this year. I think it's just as impossible that we beat Geelong this week.

Go lions.

If Carlton get found to have an equivalent supplements program to Essendon, we're in finals!

No pressure, but someone make it happen.

A nice cameo in the members video with big Sauce.

 

[POBT]

It makes me sad that the comp is in a position where this is even possible.

 

[Rally]

My gut feeling is that we're all out of flukes and luck for 1 year.

Having said that, if we beat Geelong there's no reason we can't go all the way. I'm booking Grand Final tickets tomorrow.
