Still hard to predict. Im hoping hawks win all their top 5 games. It looks tight up top. 17 wins and÷ top 2. 18 and % top spot. Not sure if anyone will go undefeated. R23 for us at subi vs freo could be massive. Imagine dockers and port 17 wins each,playing for home final. Play 2 weeks in a row
So Port could concievably lose R23 @ pattersons, finish 3rd, have to return to Pattersons the following week, get rolled again due to back to back Nullabor trips... then face potentially Adelaide at AO, who would be off a home final the week before. Ouch.

Are Port safe in the top 4?

They face very tricky games against Sydney and Freo (in Perth) that I have marked down for losses. They have a crunch game against the Pies in Melbourne that could go either way, and then also face tricky games against Essendon, Richmond (in Melbourne) and Gold Coast (Metricon). If they lose 3 or 4 of these they might not make it.

no, im just being realistic

are your feelings hurt?
Just another troll. The post you responded to outlined the remaining games for both sides, I think most would agree that Freo have the easier run home (to which you disagree, that's fair enough) you just went "lol nup" without even bothering to rationalise it or expand on why yours is easier. You beat us last time we played so fair enough the "better team" comment holds true for the tme being.

I feel this is just a massive waste though and you'll reply with another shitty one liner.

you mean the post where he says that Swans have to play WC, Hawks and Port, so therefore concludes that they are unlikely to have big wins and finish with a lesser percentage than Freo, even though we're already 6% ahead, but fails to mention that Freo have to play Port, Hawks and Geelong?
was that the post?

well that is the consensus
10 straight wins and a higher percentage despite our poor start to the season
was that honestly a controversial point to you?
Is the consensus that Sydney is better than Freo? Maybe, but I for one will be surprised if Sydney beat Freo in a PF or GF. I would back Freo's midfield any day of the week to dominate contested ball - and Franklin and Tippett won't be able to do much without the ball.

If the AFL fixed the draw in our favour and made sure we only played the good teams at home we'd probably have a few more wins too.

Yes, that's right. The AFL - all of its employees, management etc - are just focused on making it easy for Sydney.
Do you and the other morons actually real use how dumb that sounds?

you play more games at home than we do so stop whining
do you honestly believe that theres a conspiracy theory? just like when Swans win a close game and everyone comes out and says "umpires were the 19th Swan", despite the fact that we're one of the bottom teams for frees for?
im not interesting in debating idiots who blame their teams problems on conspiracy theores

Swans have an easier draw, have a better team, and are already 6% above Freo, so it isnt just likely, its a near certainty
Haha okay. Let's reassess in a month. After travelling to WC and Hawthorn, and Essendon at home.

Round 20 will be huge, so let's see where the two teams sit after Round 19.
