Autopsy Swans by 31 in a Dire and forgettable game.

Simple way to look at finals.

We're two games behind Freo in eighth (who have a game in hand)

Because of our percentage we are effectively three games behind them.

There are five games left.

I admire the positivity of some but we ain't playing finals.

Yep we simply need the Eagles to win the derby, alongside North beating GWS (I believe without Xerri)

 

[The King!]

If you **** about you can get us into the top 4

I remember doing this last week and found a way to get us into 2nd

Then I remembered I tipped WCE to win 5/6 alongside North

Carlton are genuinely dog water, Freo will smoke them.

Port are also terrible especially with all their injuries, Freo will smoke them.

Fremantle are overrated. Too many passengersand too many followers. They won't win either of the games against Carlton or Port easily as they don't put their dominance on the scoreboard. Both Port and Carlton can score quickly. It wouldn't surprise me if we see in at least one of those games Fremantle dominate for 3 quarters and lose on the back of a poor quarter. Port also have a couple of younger players at SANFL level that any half competent coach would have in over at least 4 of the players that are supposedly best 22. Don't be surprised if a couple of them get a chance at senior level and grab it with both hands.

Sweet we then finish 9th

We have to hope to beat GWS by 50 or so and then hope that they lose to Saints or North and don't pick up a game against those above them

DQ interested in your thoughts on Green, I know you have been a bit underwhelmed, are you starting to see green shoots of development?

Yes, I think there’s been a few green shoots.

He’s nowhere near physically ready for AFL - but he showed some reasonable skills in recent weeks.

I’ve gone from worried to intrigued.

You still can , thanks for pushing me

Fremantle miss out. GWS are in. Sydney's only hope is that one of Melbourne or Carlton beat Hawthorn or Gold Coast choke / both of Adelaide and Brisbane get a hold of them.

Heeney is a genuine pleasure to watch

Was the genuine match winner for us today. Such a genuine gun and that one handed mark he makes it look easy.

Just the ability to snap a goal brilliantly and stay composed on his wrong side, the guy has no ****en fear in the contest. We have a lot of guys who complain and argue , he just gets on with it.

I am a happily married man but Heeney is also a good looking rooster .

I bet he could bat 3 for Australia as well.

Early on I recall he wasn't anywhere near as good on his opposite foot, but he's cleary worked on it and either side now up close he's chance.

Yep just really admire the clear work ethic

If Freo win tomorrow against Collingwood I wouldn't be surprised if the mathematical models give us about a 10% shot of making finals (winning all remaining games)

I would be very surprised if Pies lose to Freo at the G, that’s a long shot.

If we keep winning I promise a few teams will go to water. Looking at Freo, Dogs, Suns and Hawks.

Big game next week for us, will determine if we can keep going. Giants have a few extra days rest which does make a difference this time of the year. Still back is to win, hope Paps is back.

Good to hear DQ, I think he is a better project than Stretch and we have invested. I am hoping another pre season and he will be close to ready in 26, Obviously Grundy in rare form so not a huge need yet, but hopefully season 3 we start to see something more consistently

 

[Faysals Swans]

I miss Roosy calling our games basically had his Swans scarf on

Do you remember the game where Goodes had the kick after the siren against Essendon? Roosy nearly jumped out of the box tell Goodes not to play on

 

[Donza]

Is this a Autopsy or maths class?

 

[melbournehammer]

Bye bye Ladhams Bice and Roberts lets get some of the kids in with some energy because that was lethargic as heck

im not a huge fan of any of them but seems harsh on guys who arent really the problem with respect to lack of energy. I mean ladhams came on and had almost as many hit outs as grundy for the same time period on the ground

unfortunately our team is very star dependant - and absent papley we dont have any ginnivan types who are straight out look at me flogs but whose personality brings energy.

Education is always welcome Donza

Pistol came on, played 20 minutes and almost had more hitouts than North Melbourne did the whole day. Got a goal assist for Heeney, too. One of our better sub performances since Campbell in last years QF v GWS or Bice v Freo earlier this year.

Grundy attended 8 ruck contests in the 4th quarter for 7 HOs

Ladhams attended 16 ruck contests in the 4th (coming on fresh) for 8 HOs

Ladhams just doesn't do anything that others can't do

In the 3rd quarter for reference McLean had 7 ruck contests for 6 HOs

In fairness, as much as I hate a tall as sub, Aaron Francis v Port was pretty special. Probably the best quarter he has ever played, 3 goals and gave us a chance. Arguably one of the best sub performances ever

Great call - that match is erased in my brain.

Happy to win another game.

Don't really understand all this finals predictor focus.
Cliche and all that but just take it one game at a time.

PS If you want real angst, if Richmond beat WC (and they are well ahead in the 4th Qtr) then North will be 2nd last and with no 1st rd draft pick next year (traded to Richmond).
