Round 23 - Pick the upset

[ibd77]

Fremantle by approximately 83 goals

Oh please do, that would be hilarious. I dare say Hinkley would back door his exit if a hiding occured.

But what would most likely happen is that if the Crows did beat the Bulldogs, we will beat Fremantle but Freo kicks the last goal of the game to knock us out of the top 8 by percentage.

Personally, I think Freo will win this weekend with Lyon gone.

 

[kaiserchief13]

Well if this year has taught us anything then Freo will beat Port.

The game will be meaningless as well

Love to see Carlton, Essendon and the Crows have a win.

 

[PerthBoy86]

Essendon over Collingwood is probably the likeliest, but it wouldn't be as big an upset in terms of odds. GWS vs GC and Geelong vs Carlton would be the biggest upsets. I don't see the Hawks getting over us, too much for us to play for, it's almost like a final. They'd have to play phenomenally and we'd have to really slip up. Stranger things have happened, but if we lose, I'll have almost given up on us this season anyway.

 

[Milux]

Just putting it out there, but the lowly tigers against the red hot lions is my upset

Not sure how this works lol.

 

[greatwhiteshark]

If there's one thing for certain in 2019, it's that there'll be one huge upset in Round 23 - with one highly fancied team going down. Which game do you think will the one to change the finals narrative?

For mine, I do think Hawthorn might be able to pull something out of the bag and knock off West Coast.

Sounds more like you hope that happens rather than actually think it will happen. Eagles won’t be letting this game slip.

 

[JackFlash]

I've tipped the Suns to beat GWS. If the Crows got up it will be a miracle which is incredible for a team playing for a position in the 8. Dogs by plenty.

 

[JayJ20]

If we beat Collingwood, I'm hoping GC give everything they have to beat GWS.

Hawks beat eagles

Adelaide then beat bulldog and go above hawks because of a bigger win and go above the hawks

Port then beat freo by a massive margin and go above Adelaide and hawks

No chance are Hawthorn beating the eagles with what’s at sake for them, same with the cats and pies. Only upsets I can see are dockers and saints to get up.

 

[HBF]

Carlton won't beat Geelong down there. Just too big a task for us. If Essendon show up they could possibly get Collingwood

 

[The_Big_Ship]

Dees and Crows will win.

 

[Fadge]

Would Lions over Tiges be an upset?

Mines Hawthorn over West Coast.

You're a good judge.

IMO 2 of the following three win:
Lions over Tigers
Hawks over West Coast
Saints over Swans

 

[HairyO]

Is Saints really an upset ?

 

[Marc_Remillard]

Melbourne fans are very upset right now

 

[Football Tragic]

Very strange that if Brisbane beat Tigers it would be considered an upset?! Surely 4th playing 1st the favourite really should be Brisbane. The only reason its not is because Richmond are always front and center in the media and 'Melbourne-centric' focus while Brisbane is 'off Broadway' and (despite winning 9 in a row) slipped under the radar. Brisbane should be favourites here or at least on even money but the odds are purely based on supporter speculation so that's why Richmond are favourites at this stage.

 

[yeee_haaaa!!!!!]

Hawks over eagles is the stand out for an upset. Hawks will be in the 8 if they win saturday night, pending sunday results, so the incentive is obvious. They play well against the eagles, and would have beaten them easily 7-8 weeks ago if they'd converted their chances. Eagles coming off a brutal encounter with rich that has cost them hutchings and left a few others pretty sore with a big question mark still hanging over a couple of their key players 36 hours out with 1-2 late changes a huge possibility. Hawks in contrast had a training run under the roof at marvel. This one is game on

 

[FRUMPY]

If Melbourne don't lose by 10+ goals, it will be a huge upset. They are already demoralised and now have to travel to cold Hobart to play the last game of a horrendous season. Big flogging coming up.

 

[Xtreme]

Adelaide to beat the dogs

Hawthorn to beat Eagles and get into top 8

Yes please!

 

[RAPPA]

Geelong - because after round 23 they’ll be upset at having to play their home final against the Tigers at the G

 

[compact72]

Yes please!

Hope we have the same support that you gave in 2016

Worked a treat

 

[Damon_3388]

Freo over Port in Adelaide?

Melbourne over North in Hobart?

Hard to know which version of each side will show up for those ones.

 

[Chaisa]

My gut suggests that the Hawks and Crows have a real chance this week. Freo have a real shot especially if the game is "dead" while both the Saturday arvo games could see boilovers.

 

[Xtreme]

Hope we have the same support that you gave in 2016

To be honest I was damned if I did damned if I didn't. Didn't want a Bulldogs or Swans victory . On the brightside Geelong were nowhere near it so that was a blessing

For this scenario to play out, the Crows would have to beat the Bulldogs by around 65 points more than the Hawks beat the Eagles. I can be a bit pessimistic about the Doggies at times, but I can't see Adelaide winning by that margin. If the Crows do get up, it'll be by about 10 to 20 points.

Can't see the Eagles losing to the Hawks considering they can still fall to 5th and a sudden death elimination final.
