See this is a clear case of a cognitive dissonance between where we are at. If there was a bottom 10 comp right now we are not favourites, we are a very average team.
Who would beat us in a genuine finals type scenario in the bottom 8?
We would be comfortable favourites....unless we played Carlton, but lets face it, if we were to face them in finals we would beat them too. This is why what we have done this season is so ******* annoying.
NB....THIS IS NOT CLAIMING WE ARE A GOOD SIDE....WE CLEARLY AREN'T, but the shittiness of the rest suggests we are outside top eight and not entrenched bottom 8. EDIT...I JUST READ BOTTOM 10...shit

already typed the post so leaving it there.
Let's imagine the bottom 8 is the top 8.
DONKEY Finals
QF St. Kilda v Collingwood
EF Richmond v Essendon
EF Freo v Brisbane
QF Port v Melbourne
Port would likely play Collingwood or Richmond in a Prelim (in this absurd scenario) both teams we have beaten this year, to set up a Shitty GF against St. Kilda or Melbourne (both teams we have beaten comfortably this year).
