Last years result and its subsequent 2019 fixture is out of date as a reference point. After 20 rounds we can however judge this years performance and we stand up to being a top eight team.
So of the finals bound top eight and possible top eight we have the following:
Possible/probable top 4:
1st Geelong yet to play
3rd West Coast we Won
4th Richmond yet to play
Given WC was round 1 it is fair to say we are as yet relatively untested as a top four team this year. Our next two games will tell that story.
Possible/probable/might get lucky bottom 4
5 Collingwood we Lost
6 GWS we Won
7 Essendon lost
8 Port Won
9 Crows Won
10 Dogs Won
We have won against 4 of the 6 teams in this pool - we have definitely earn't finals position 5-8 team at worst.
And assuming Collingwood hold their spot but Essendon crash out two of Port, Crows and Dogs will make finals 5-8 positions, making us 3 wins v 1 loss in this group.
Which makes us four wins so far out of the top eight teams as per current, with wins yet to come in the next two rounds.
And as we all know finals are a different kind of competition and anything goes.
So Scott can go and shove that up his jumper and respect the fact that we have beaten teams from all sorts of fixture peculiarities to be deserved of a top eight placing and finals contenders.
Sheesh.
