Now we have to be Collingwood fans one week and Crows/Richmond fans the next. I feel dirty.

Under normal circumstances you'd expect the Dockers and Dogs to get the job done on North, but the Dockers may have ... docked for a few rounds. Richmond is always the last side you want playing fir your life.

Oh yeah, and we have to beat the top side and not lose inexcusably to another bottom side to go with all that.

Least this stops the grandiose delusions.
No it doesn't at all. It's the same as a loss for geelong in regards to us. If north lose all 3 and Crows beat geelong in round 23 we can make it. If Geelong lost it would have been the same scenario because we will have better percentage if we win both and they lose one. Especially considering we play gc.

To make finals we need North to lose all their games. Can only afford Geelong to win one game and of course we need to win our two remaining games and win them by a good margin at least.

Draw isn't much different to a geelong loss for our prospects, as their percentage is the same as ours. Still need them to lose one of the next 2, North to lose all 3 and us to win last two well. I think if all those happens then percentage should take care of itself (unless they're all very close games).

The draw hasn't really changed anything. Before it for Geelong to make the finals they had to win their last two games and Adelaide had to lose their last two. It only means that (if that does happen) that Geelong will be in the finals by 2 points and not 4. The Roos are in a bit of trouble as they finish with the dockers, bulldogs and tigers.

We are still on a tightrope to get in. North Melbourne must lose all three and Geelong the final round to Adelaide. We have to make up about 160 points on the roos, ie they must lose their games by a combined 90 points and we must win by a combined 70 points. Or something similar. Not asking for much. Our percentage and Geelong's is pretty much the same so as long as they don't thrash Collingwood there should be no worries about percentage there.
