It's better for us if Port win... they could take down a few teams who are around us if they are still a chance of finals. Can see them capitulating if they lose today.

Can't see them catching us even if they win today.

He's always been like that though. People get seduced by the big number of disposals he gets, in reality he's a poor kick of the ball and is no better than what Rosa was to us when he was at his best.

Cripps is a super young player he is in absolutely everything. I reckon we'll be arguing about sheed over cripps for quite a number of years

Looking at Port's draw, I expect them to capitulate now, don't think they will play finals.
Was poor today IMO
Good to see Schulz go goalless.
Now 21 goals behind Kennedy and out of the Coleman race.
IMO only Kennedy, Cameron, Franklin, Betts, Cloke, Bruce, Riewoldt, McCarthy and Walker can win it from here.
Can't imagine Betts, Bruce and McCarthy doing enough so really only Kennedy (46), Cameron (34), Franklin (34), Cloke (31), Riewoldt (28) and Walker (27) are in the hunt.

And another similarity to our 2013 season happens. Unexpected loss to Carlton. This shits starting to get a bit scary with Port. If they finish the season in 13th then I'm calling the exorcist.

I said before the draft he was a better clearance player. I said 5 years but I think he is already ahead of Sheed.

Man, what's going on with Port. They have some seriously good players but their confidence seems shot this year.
GWS predictably getting smashed by North out of the middle without Mumford.

Cripps' big frame will make him great for clearances, not sold on his disposal however.

Well if he wasn't contracted another 2 years I'd say it was a small possibility

Looking at North's draw, they will probably win 7 or all 8 of their next 8 games. Smokey for 4th imo.
Some really good/important games for us in the next couple of weeks.
ATM NM are putting GWS to the sword.
Next week Freo take on Collingwood (if we concede 1st spot is Freo's then a belting would really hurt Collingwood's top 4 chances).
Also next week Sydney take on Richmond (either result could work, Richmond losing would mean that they are very unlikely to be a top 4-6 chance, Sydney losing would open up 2nd spot, for a time).
The week after Sydney play Port. If Port lose again then top 4/6 is out of the question and top 8 is becoming more unlikely.
Richmond play GWS. If GWS lose today and in a fortnight their season is over IMO.
Also in round 14 Adelaide play Geelong. If we slip at all these two teams will be competing with us for 6-9 position. Either losing would be good for us, I think I'd prefer Adelaide losing slightly (only because we know we have Geelong's measure).
Then in round 15 Port verse Collingwood. By this time Port's season may be gone so obviously it will be better if they beat a team like Collingwood.
North verse Geelong this round as well. Would probably prefer Geelong to win.
We verse Adelaide in a must-win and then Hawthorn play Fremantle (again, if 1st/2nd is conceded to Fremantle then it is better if they beat Hawthorn).
Finally in round 16 Geelong play the Bulldogs (who may be higher on the ladder by this point).
We play Collingwood (another ultra important game).
Sydney play Hawthorn (either losing is great, let's say it is better to be fighting Sydney for 2nd than allowing Hawthorn any opportunity into the top 4).
And Port play Adelaide (and ordinarily match up well on them).
So IF nearly all of this was to go our way from now until the end of round 16 the ladder could look like this:
1. Fremantle - 14 wins
2. Sydney - 13 wins
3. West Coast - 12 wins
4. Geelong - 10 wins
5. Hawthorn - 9 wins
6. Richmond - 9 wins
7. GWS - 9 wins
8. Bulldogs - 9 wins
9. Collingwood - 8 wins
10. North - 8 wins
11. Adelaide - 7 wins
12. Port - 7 wins
All of a sudden we are effectively 3 games in front of 4th placed Geelong (because of percentage), 3 games and a small amount of percentage in front of Hawthorn and 4 games in front of Richmond, GWS and Bulldogs.
With Geelong having GWS, Brisbane, Sydney, Hawthorn, St Kilda, Collingwood and Adelaide I can't see them catching us if this was the actual ladder at the end of Round 16.
Hawthorn have Carlton, Richmond, us, Geelong, Port, Lions and Carlton.
So they may well get to us. But if they do then I don't believe that either Geelong or Richmond will (as Hawthorn play both in the run home). Hence, top 4 will be looking almost certain (if our form doesn't suddenly drop off) if we win our next three games and the above results happen.
Of course, it goes without saying we take things one step at a time.
