When do the Purples play the Bulldogs?

EDIT NEXT WEEK. ROSS IS GONE!!!

 

[Quinz]

Just flicked over to the Saints Dogs game having no idea of the score and... what the hell!

Sink down the ladder Sydney you 2nd round pick giving bastards.

 

[whatis]

Glad Richardson is gone.

 

[Brer Bear]

Haha the purple floggos think we got looked after by the umps. Turn it up how many games have the maggots won for them this year?

 

[boondy]

Glad Richardson is gone.

Noise of affirmation . Complained about umps too much .

 

[Dazzler9]

Cats run home is way too favourable for them to not finish first, but keeping them playing and preventing them from resting in R22 is big. Maybe they have a dumb slip up, but just keep the bastards honest.

Mate, I'd prefer they just cruised into 1st place while 'managing' players in the final rounds. It tends to be a curse more than a blessing. See Richmond last year, Port in the early 2000's, several others over the years.

You're better off having to fight for your place against the better sides, than sewing things up early with some soft kills in the run home.

Looks like sacking your coach gets you a win against the bulldogs for the caretaker.

Who's up for giving Simmo the flick after he wins us a preliminary final?

Bold of you to assume the Bulldogs will be playing in the GF

 

[Yamumluvsbigcox]

Swans 2nd rounder sitting at pick 22 atm !

Who would we rather win on Friday night?

Draw

Possibly Richmond cos a cocky tiger gets wounded very easily. Let them prance around until round 22 like they’re already in the GF.

 

[Cuzz09]

I think Collingwood will win.

Richmond have just been beating average sides of late and the pies have played decent sides.

I'd rather see Collingwood win. Richmond has a cruisy run home and are lurking dangerously close to the edge of the top 4.

Not sure about that.

Collingwood have only won 1 of their last 4.

Richmond beat GWS last week.

Richmond beat GWS last week.

Richmond beat GWS, who then absolutely pummelled Collingwood without both their captains and their 2 best mids.

 

[Cuzz09]

Ah well I still reckon Pies beat Tiges but dont care really.

A draw would be nice this Friday. I'm always appreciative of just how much chaos a draw can add to ladder positions

Could get lucky next week, I see Hawks beating Brisbane as a definite possibility. We've had a few chances at it and have screwed it, so fingers crossed next round is us locking in 2nd spot!

 

[Forward Press]

When was the last time a preliminary finalist finished second last the following year?

Don't think it has happened in AFL era. Closest would be (stand to be corrected):

Melbourne 1998 Prelim to 3rd bottom 1999 (LOL)

Richmond 2001 Prelim to 3rd bottom 2002

West Coast Semi Final 2007 to 2nd bottom 2008 (not so LOL)

 

[MKMatty]

Melbourne 1998 Prelim to 3rd bottom 1999 (LOL)

Melbourne also hold two other unenviable records; swiftest decent from premier to last (1951-54), and only wooden spooner to win their first and last game of the season (1997)

Won't be easy getting over norf - we have mounting injuries, and half our defense might be out. Worried about the norf game.

I just want Brisbane to cop the L when they face in R22. What they want to do in R23 or even before then is up to them.

Depends on the situation before round 22. If Geelong drop another two before then and we keep winning, I’d prefer Brisbane joining us in the top 2. Imagine the melts from the Vic media. Adelaide and GWS taking 5th and 6th would top it right off.

Edit: Thought the cats were only 1 game clear.. doesn’t look likely they’ll drop another 2 before Brissie.

Double edit: They are only a game clear.. Ladder hadn’t updated If they lose 1 more before Brisbane I’d definitely want Brissie taking that one.
