16-6 and a percentage in the mid 130's should get the job done to finish in the top 2.

15-7 and a percentage in the high 120's should get you into the top 4.

There is not much wiggle room if you're currently 6th or below.
This year, 18-4 gets you top 2, 17-5 gets you top 4.

I think you will be getting 2 home finals.

Will be interesting if there is a scheduling conflict only 1 of the weeks do they play both at SCG or 1 at each venue.
As much as Swans fans would prefer SCG for our chances in a home final the fact of the matter is ANZ is not fit for AFL football to be played on let alone Finals Footy. That is the disappointing thing.

For Collingwood not so much.:eek:

I'm not overly familiar with League, what has to happen for us to play at the SCG?
If the League top 8 is made up mainly of NSW teams then most of the finals will be played in NSW. ie. ANZ & SFS.
ATM top 5 is NSW teams with the Broncos, Warriors & Storm sitting 6,7,8. So it is looking promising.

this. a more arrogant bunch of supporters you wont meet. Which is truly surprising, given they have won absolutely nothing in their 20 years of being in this comp - unless there is an award for the best draft/trade fails ever -
Freo may well go through and finish top 2. But with games against a Hawthorn side that will be desperate to finish top 2 themselves, and a Port side that have been the form side for basically the whole season, and a trip to Kardinia Park, Im staggered at the Freo mentality that it will be a complete soda.
It isn't Freo supporters that are saying that. In fact, the Freo posters are saying the opposite.

The games against Geelong, Hawthorn and Port are all winable but they're all losable as well. Taking on good sides is never a soda. In fact taking on any side requires your best efforts or you'll get done. Look at Norths against Brisbane or even Geelong against GC. You only have to be slightly off your best and you can easily be done by any side.

Don't criticise Freo supporters for what other people are saying.

Yeah Kram is right, Catsmaninamerica is a massive troll - you only have to go back the crap he was saying at the end of last season. Just hit the ignore button, he doesn't say a single useful word - ever.

Well Port and Hawks lost games they would have expected to win. Its an amazing battle for the top 4 and its as if it will come down to beating the teams you should beat rather than those around you ....
