Injuries are going to be a huge factor in positioning for the 8.
Magpies lost Tom Phillips tonight and the Lions have lost Harris Andrews.
Hopefully we come out without any injuries in the next couple weeks.
Playing WCE without Shuey is a bonus , hopefully they have some more misfortune.

Anyway when finals come we will need to lift and our prime movers will have to be playing there best football
Marshall , Steele , Hill , Billings , Jones need to be killing it.

Phhht...Tom Phillips. Poor kicking and not damaging.
 
grrr... Dogs in front at three quarter time. Their last two games are Hawks and Dockers and so we really need WCE to have a good last quarter.
 
Dogs win. So Saints will most likely have to win one more game now to play finals, and we have probably the hardest games left out of our competitors.

Pies, Dees, GWS and Dogs all in the race as well as us.

That West Coast result was flattening. If they get up, we have one hand on that finals spot.

Now it is completely up for grabs and we need to scrap for it again.

We can beat both GWS and WC but it would have been nice to have the safety net of not having too.

In a way I am glad we have to scrap. It's a damn tight competition and it's best our boys learn early that nothing comes easy. The first 15 minutes of the game today, until Hill (of all people) stuck a good tackle on Frawley, it seemed like we thought we could roll them in first gear.

Saints vs WCE
Saints vs GWS

Dees vs GWS
Dees vs Essendon

Pies vs GC
Pies vs Port

Dogs vs Hawks
Dogs vs Freo

GWS vs Dees
Gws vs Saints

Gotta think Dogs win both.

If GWS beat Dees and we lose to WCE it all comes down to GWS vs Saints.

If Dees beat GWS I think with percentage we likely stay in 8?

How is it flattening? Win Thursday Night and we're above them. Great result for us and makes Thursday night a huge game.

If you beat the Eagles and lose to GWS you need the Pies to lose a game. If you beat GWS you're in assuming all other favourites get up.

Yeah, lots of possibilities but on form and "on paper" favourites you would think it comes down to we have to beat GWS in last round.

We should have West Coast covered next Thursday, the Dogs ran them off their feet.

Our midfield barely got out of 2nd gear today, Hill looked like he coud've run back to Noosa at the end of the game.

I'm concern about our inside 50 entires against them.

Look at how easily Andrews and May dominated us the pervious two games. Seems like we will feed directly into West Coasts hands.

GWS also have Ade this Round.
Melb also have Freo this Round
 
No point limping in because all the others around have fallen over. Finish 5/6 and have a good crack at winning a final.
I'd rather limp in then not make it.

And with lockdown in Melbourne extended, the two weeks between rd18 and the first finals will be much funner if we are in the finals race than lamenting how we screwed it up.
