Richmond with Cotch & Nank back do us a favour and beat Lions by 50. We beat Hawks by 40.
Finish 2nd.
Finish 2nd.

Friday night is going to be very interesting. We want Essendon to win to lock away top 4 but if we win against the Hawks we probably want the Pies winning to keep the pressure on Richmond.
I actually think Soldo is better than Nank. He made Hickey look like a St Kilda discard

I want Pies winning, absolutely.
On one hand, it keeps pressure on Tigers. And if the Tigers lose, they slip to 5th, which I'd welcome.
I'm not interested in an insurance policy for us losing to the Hawks. We just have to win and win well. No point hoping for a safety net.

Just read Nank may not be back, but Cotchin is.
That would also work. I neglected to include in my scenario that we beat Hawks and finish 3rd.
So if Tigers finish 5th they play Elimination at home and if Im not mistaken, they would play the loser of 2v3 away the following week.
So they either play us at Optus if we lose v cats or cats at home and then play Brisbane at the Gabba for the Prelim (assuming Lions beat Pies).
In both scenarios, the tigers face an elimination final interstate and that will be their undoing.
A lot of water to pass under the bridge yet though...

You're mistaken.
Loser of 1 v 4 plays winner of 5 v 8
Loser of 2 v 3 plays winner of 6 v 7
If the Tigers finish 5th and we play Geelong in Melbourne in 2 v 3, if we win that in week 1 it would also mean Richmond have to come through us in Perth in a PF. That could actually be the crucial part.
Of course, if we lose in week 1, we probably get the Dogs in week 2, which I'd prefer to avoid.

Ok in that case (asuming it finishes Lions cats WC Pies) and assuming Lions and WC win, it wont make much difference if it is semi week or prelim week, they will travel interstate. If they get to play finals at home the whole way through they most likely make the GF, if they travel to QLD or WA I reckon they get beat.
What we dont want is Cats 1, tigers 4th as that would mean (all going to script) they dont leave the G for 12 weeks straight (including byes).
Hawthorn will just roll over. They are that kind.
Just like they did with Fev in his 100 goal season. No dirty tricks, no rough play, no clogging just one on one with Fev so he got his 100th goal.
I presume hawks will do what they did with fev and not clog it up so lots of goals will be kicked.

That Collingwood game was the worst. Lost Nic Nat, lost by one point, blew top 2. And I was there too which made it suck even harder.
Not as upset with the Richmond game, that Collingwood game was the killer. They were in abysmal form and we made Cox and co look good.
I think we'll finish 3rd.

I think our chances of top 2 are done.
We will know before the Lions v Tigers game if we have a chance or not.
Agreed. If we lose to Hawthorn and finish 5th we may as well stay home for the finals because we wont trouble anyone anywhere. What Collingwood does shouldn't factor into the equation beyond ensuring that Richmond have to turn up on Sunday.

Increasingly unlikely but not done. Depends on margins. Why can't we beat Hawthorn by 60?
The other consideration is if we finish third, as expected, what is our preferred road trip in week 1: Brisbane in Brisbane or Geelong in Melbourne.
Preference
1. Geelong MCG
2. Brisbane GABBA
3. Geelong GMBHA (is that still a possibility?)
Both teams had the 6 day break.
Hawks just had their massive send off for Roughy so not playing with that emotion either.
We'll be fine.

We can win every game from here if we rock up with the mentality of wanting to put in 4 quarters. We can kick up a gear when we need to but seems that once we think its a winning score go into preservation mode and not get injured.
6 day break wont be a problem mentally as the players will know they have a weeks break before the finals.
Yeah would be a great result. Hawthorn is a danger game though.
