Not a good weekend for Sydney fans.
Absolute disaster for Sydney, dropping from likely Top 4 to teetering on the brink of the 8.

Also horrible for Port.

Geelong staved off oblivion - if they hadn't won, they would have been toast.

Crows with a sneaky little wedge into the Top 8.

Do you have top 2 chances readily available?

Yep not making top 2 from here would be disappointing but it's not the end of the world if we have to play Richmond or Collingwood at the MCG, or GWS at Spotless. I believe in Simmo's post match press conference he did say the club would now target top 4.
 
Also looking back turns out Champion Data was right about North a few weeks ago - they predicted they wouldn't make finals. Still possible obviously but teetering towards the edge. This weekend in Hobart vs Eagles suddenly becomes a season defining moment.
 
St Kilda v Richmond +28
Collingwood +6 v North Melbourne
Sydney +55 v Gold Coast
Essendon +35 v Fremantle
Brisbane +24 v Adelaide
Geelong v Melbourne +7
Carlton v Hawthorn +49
West Coast +47 v Western Bulldogs
Port Adelaide +5 v GWS

5/9.

1. Richmond 23.7
2. GWS 18.9 (+2)
3. West Coast 17.5 (-1)
4. Collingwood 14.4 (+5)
5. Essendon 13.2
6. Melbourne 10.1 (-3)
7. Hawthorn 9.5 (+4)
8. Brisbane 6.0 (-1)
9. Port Adelaide 4.3 (-1)
10. Geelong 3.4
11. Adelaide 0.4 (+2)
12. Sydney -3.8 (-6)
13. North Melbourne -8.1 (-1)
14. St Kilda -11.0
15. Fremantle -16.1
16. Western Bulldogs -25.3
17. Gold Coast -26.5 (+1)
18. Carlton -40.2 (-1)

GWS, Collingwood and Hawthorn rise, Sydney plummet.

Essendon +22 v Sydney
Richmond +9 v Collingwood
Geelong +3 v Brisbane
GWS +35 v St Kilda
Gold Coast +21 v Carlton
Adelaide v Melbourne +4
North Melbourne v West Coast +16
Western Bulldogs v Port Adelaide +23
Fremantle v Hawthorn +17



And the predictive ladder

1. Richmond 16.8
2. West Coast 16.2
3. Collingwood 15.1 (+2)
4. GWS 14.4 (+3)
5. Port Adelaide 13.6 (-2)
6. Hawthorn 13.0 (+3)
7. Melbourne 12.94 (-1)
8. Geelong 12.9
9. Sydney 12.7 (-6)
10. Essendon 11.9
11. Adelaide 11.6 (+1)
12. North Melbourne 11.2 (-2)
13. Fremantle 8.8
14. Brisbane 6.9
15. Western Bulldogs 6.6 (+1)
16. St Kilda 6.3 (-1)
17. Gold Coast 5.2
18. Carlton 1.9
That ladder would give the winner of Melb v Haw a likely shot at Collingwood in the semi, and Richmond in the prelim if they managed to win that

One thing to be super impressive in terms of accuracy and all that, but to be able to present like this, in particular the second image, is fantastic. It just answers every question that people are likely to ask pre-emptively.

Except a team could emerge from here like 2017 Richmond

This is round 19 2017

Where two teams start a game, anything can happen

The Dogs of 2016 would've been in a similar position too.

The most important thing is to make finals first, then with a bit of luck you can win the whole thing when you hit form at the right time.
 
I would have loved to have played Tigers at the MCG during the season, but Pies will have to be our measuring stick now.
Be interesting to see how the pies go against the tigers. Their loss against us stands out like a sore thumb in their results over the last few months.

Be competitive against the tigers and our result against them looks better and better

I think the result against the Pies was revealing as to the pecking order. The Vic press will beat up a big Melbourne club like Collingwood, and they are playing well, but not top 2 well.
 
Pies draw has been super soft. Big footy community on here are so over-rating them, like Melbourne a month ago.
You know what, i think you're right.

I haven't seen anyone on BigFooty mention we haven't beaten any top 4 teams and only 1 top 8 team and that we are pretenders and that we have injuries.

Never heard that.

The difference this year is that there is a team massively out to the top right by themselves.
