Strategy The run home

[vast]

Honestly, I find it funny that we are still a decent chance to make finals. We are not a good side and during that 6 week stretch our bad play was masked by a couple of clutch moments and pure luck. We did not play more than a half of good footy.

We are actually a very low chance of making it.

 

[Mootsy]

We have our worst player in our most critical spot.
If we aren't chasing Goldstein then this club isn't going to hurt anyone short term

Draper would learn from Gold. Give him two years

Everyone will exploit us
Eventually we will run out of belief. 2019 the sun is setting

I'd be backing dogs 40+ if they didn't get bruised on a Sund in brisbane

How did you know this?

 

[vass44]

I still think we can knock off Collingwood last round and stay in the 8. Freo next week would be nice but unlikely

Change “the run home” to just “run home”.

As in run home to mum.

 

[Old Campaigner]

I think it’s more of a limp home at this point

 

[citizen-erased]

It's over
Door was opened for Port and the Dogs in recent weeks to claim the final spots

3 chances to beat teams below you to seal a spot in the 8.
2 blown. 3rd is to our favourite hunting ground.

Too many injuries
Playing too many injured

Let's change the thread title to "The limp and waddle home".

Ideal scenario for next round?

Collingwood defeat Adelaide
GWS defeat Bulldogs
North to have an upset win over Port

All three eminently possible.

 

[TheWeapon]

Freo is last chance I reckon

 

[Halftimehero]

Hopefully Adelaide just win this and put us out of our misery

Is that really how we want to sneak into the 8 though?

If all three of those occur and we beat Freo (as unlikely as that seems) then, for better or worse, we’ve sown up a finals spot.

We don't need all that to happen, if North beat Port and we beat Fremantle we are in the finals.

Dogs and Port are on the same points. If we win one and dogs win both, they’ll be ahead

ideal options I was expecting:

A/ we grow and set get a hard fought win galvanising woosha and the players.

B/ implode again, there is nowhere to hide and full football department review is initiated

 

[madrigal]

Dogs and Port are on the same points. If we win one and dogs win both, they’ll be ahead

And we will still be in the eight because we will be ahead of Port.

 

[JayJ20]

Ah because Adelaide and Bulldogs play each other, meaning they can’t win both games.

We’re still more likely to miss given our form won’t beat Gold Coast at the moment.

 

[Old Campaigner]

We don't need all that to happen, if North beat Port and we beat Fremantle we are in the finals.

And then what? Beaten by 20 goals by GWS in Sydney?

 

[Atavistic]

It will feel weird barracking for North to win tonight.

 

[Halftimehero]

The stars are aligning for us so far.....

 

[Nuggs Bunny]

To lose our last 4 and still make finals?

I this club

 

[Towno78]

I this club

Actually just realised that isn't possible (outside of a draw), we will have to win one

 

[pepsi]

Shut this s**t down!

Universal Love - We’re playing finals

Somehow despite all the s**t form, injuries, goal post gate, s**t umpiring and more s**t form we’re going to be there in the first week of finals. Let’s take a moment to be happy we’re back at the pointy of the season. But also what are your predictions? Will we win a final? Who will we play...
