Analysis The run home

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Then why has no team won it from 4th? The ladder rarely lies.

If we finish 4th, we play Collingwood at the G then more than likely Carlton in a semi. A team we just lost to

As I said, its an oddity.

Collingwood is a team we have beaten also

Don't bother, he has his knickers in a twist and won't listen to reason.

Like I said mate, we get an easier run to the GF if we finish 2nd or 3rd.

I'll happily see you chuck a heap of money on us when we finish 4th for the flag though seeing as you're so condident

If we're relying on not playing the Pies we aren't winning the GF regardless. I'd rather take the MCG QF and go from there than an away QF.

The definition of listening is hearing someone else's point and then counter arguing it. Atleast I have something to counter argue, you've got nothing to add except this

Not what I said. If everyone thinks we can beat the pies then we get in prelim if we lose the first final away to Brisbane. We lose the first final to Collingwood and we have an away prelim to Brisbane.

I'd rather the first

Mate your previous reply to me was jibberish. I'm happy to engage in a productive conversation.

Not really mate it makes sense I'll try slow it down for you

If you think we are 'good enough' then why be scared to face Brisbane then

 

[Johnny Karate]

I wanna win as many games as possible. Losing to Collingwood in the qualifying final at the G means a preliminary against Brisbane at the Gabba.

Actually losing the qualifying final to Brisbane gets us a prelim against Collingwood at the G if people wanna cope so that's actually a better path

What if we lose a qualifying final and then lose a semi against Carlton? Why don’t we do both?

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

When was the last time 1st played 4th in week 1 of the finals and 4th had a winning record against 1st during the season?

These are the sorts of questions you need to ask and why all finals series aren't the same.

I'm not scared to play anyone, anywhere. If we are good enough, we win, if not we lose. That's how it goes.

I'm not going to be a negative Nancy and write us off from the results of this game though, like you.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Its all irrelevant unless we make the proper adjustments, next two weeks will give me a better idea.

Try again I didn't write us off, I said losing our way to 4th isn't better than winning our way through. Again. Pretty simple.

 

[Topkent]

Pretty sure we go back to second anyway when the pies beat the lions at home next week and we beat hawthorn

You said that did you?
I'm not going back through posts to contradict you, cause ultimately I don't give a ****. So if you did say that, you are certainly correct.
Goodnight TK, I can't be ****ed arguing with you any more.

Not if Port win both.

Who they got

GWS at home, Freo away.

They haven't played yet have they? There'd be a third

I was encouraged by our ability to regain control as the quarters went on, but worried about our start to all four of them. The systems felt ok today, aside from the glaring issue. We look a better team with Trac up forward and Brayshaw playing like a man possessed in the midfield.

Topkent makes a fair point. We most likely have to go to the Gabba in the finals if we finish 3rd or 4th, so we may as well just try win out and back ourselves in.

Where did I say we shouldn't win out?

You didn't, I'm making a separate point.

Which one of us you reckon should be more worried that we agree with each other

Richmond at home

I'd be ok with Port at Adelaide oval for a qualifying final
