We can still miss 4th and finish 5th if … we lose to Hawthorn and Sydney (away) and Carlton win their last two (Suns away & GWS home). Blues take our spot in the top 4 if that happens.
Finals have effectively already started.

It’s always the case and can be seen for most teams but we have ****ed ourselves and will be 2 or 3 wins short of the ideal spot (2nd)

We're a game behind Brisbane, and they have Collingwood next week. You think they'll win both and we'll lose both?

Fourth is the ideal finish I reckon. Smash a weakened Pies at home without Daicos and force them to play an extra game (and travel to a prelim?)

Top two is now dead, but it’s very likely we play the pies in Melbourne week 1 unless they lose to Essendon.
Essendon vs GWS is kinda a key game now, want GWS to win as if Essendon win they’d be playing a weakened pies for a spot in the 8 last round.

We basically can’t change from 4th if we win at least a game (Don’t see lions losing to saints or port dropping either game). Be interesting to see how we’d approach a win = going to Brisbane and a loss = playing the pies in the last game though.
Edit - nvm we can’t change spot, we badly need pies to beat Essendon

Good enough to beat anyone, dumb enough to lose to anyone. We're ready.
Since the year 2000, no one has won a premiership finishing 4th...
Just saying.

Read the last 5 pages of the Non-dees afl thread. There was a whole discussion about it last night.

Why are we still talking about winning a premiership from 4th?

Only way I see us winning it is if we win the finals series followed by a Grand Final challenge from the minor premiers under the Argus system.
