Could North 2017 be worse than Freo 2016?

Could North 2017 be worse than Freo 2016?

The wheels are off. Unreal. 9-0.

They genuinely could miss the 8 at this rate. 10-6 after today.
Remaining fixture:
Collingwood @ Etihad
St Kilda @ Etihad
Bulldogs @ Etihad
Hawthorn @ MCG
Sydney @ Hobart
GWS @ Etihad

Realistically they have to win the next two to have a shot but simply don't look like winning either on form. Won't beat the Dogs, Hawthorn or Sydney. GWS @ Etihad is a maybe but at that point it could be all over.

I know I'm way ahead of myself, but if we win tomorrow, it doesn't matter if we lose to WCE (As long as we don't get pumped) because we just have to win 3 more games than North on the way home (If we do that our % should overtake theirs).

Want to win both.

 

[schmuttt]

Want to win both.

So do I, but we would realistically just have to beat Port, Blues, Saints, GC (Sounds dumb yes I know) and one of Eagles/Hawks/Cats.

 

[RandB]

Norf'n it up nicely.

 

[wowlace]

Has there ever been such a fall from grace?

 

[Crimson Azure]

300 games for Scott Thompson.

Thanks a lot for leaving you flog.

Hi Crimson!

Brent Moloney had bigger arms

Incidentally our missing the 8 could come down to a five point loss to Norf.

Or it could come down to the fact that we're an immature side that can't play four quarters against top sides.

 

[booshboy]

Yep Norf are gone, had we not *ing lost to Essendon, id say we were a chance for the 8.

 

[d33my]

Yeah we won't play finals and it's not really because of Essendon (all teams have bad games they drop).
It'll be more because we didn't beat Saints (x2?), Port (x2?) and yes North to an extent.

Also needed to pinch a win v Hawthorn/Adelaide/Sydney

 

[wowlace]

Yeah we don't deserve to play finals, just not good enough yet. But it's good to still be in it at this stage of the season (mathematically).

Or Essendon

 

[wowlace]

Whoever drops into 8th spot is going to have an embarrassing loss anyway. You don't want to do a Richmond and make finals for the first time in forever and then get touched up by a scrub team.

Well the 5th place finalist is gonna be one of GWS or West Coast

We would get smashed

 

[booshboy]

you know you're in trouble when your own clubs Twitter feed is questioning whether you can put in a 4 quarter effort. Maybe we truly are no longer the biggest joke in the league.

Watching brisbane gives me nightmares of Melbourne under Neeld
No young players really stepping up, shitty gameplan, senior blokes struggling etc

You truly feel bad for them
Essendon have shown way more than Brisbane this season

Eh. If we make finals we'll have to beat WC in Perth and Geelong at Skilled anyway

Yep you got me there

 

[ThePuppetMaster]

Can't say I'm thrilled with the umpiring in Carl v WCE.

Which decisions exactly?
