Just try to win every game we are in That's all we can do. I think we are better positioned to beat Geelong now than in a GF. Let Freo/Melb/Sydney take care of Geelong. Hope Tigers get taken out though.

Great pointWhy not take it a step further and ask yourself how often in the last 6 years did a Qualifying Final loser win the flag? Once.
What a year, as Ralph Fines might say "Its like a fairytale"
Things have rolled our way and maybe that will continue long enough to snag a flag. Are we the best list? Lets make the irrelevent for the moment. Truth is the AFL finals series pays little heed to fairness. The fact that the top 4 teams start the finals with an equal chance of winning the flag is patently wrong in a comp that should reward finishing on top. Its been made worse since the finals week off came in which has taken away one of the advantages the QF winners had of a week off while others continued to play. Now the QF winner had a disadvantaged compared to their PF opponent going week off, week on week off while the other has the perfect prep of week off then 2 games leading into the PF. No coach would advocate 2 weeks off in 3 as a good prep for the PF.
Has this changed anything? Well in the 10 years prior to the chance 18 out out 20 (90%) of QF winners won their PF. Since the change 5 of 12 (41%) of QF winners have won their PF. Losing the QF wont help our chances of a good finals campaign but it might enhance the chance of actually winning the flag. My answer is yes
I am going to the Lions v Tigers up here and I will be cheering for the Lions too but I do not think they are up to it TBH, Freo will beat the Dogs over there no repeat of 2016.In all honesty our 2 worst matchups are Doggies and the Tiges.
Be cheering hard for Brisbane and Freo next weekend.
The only thing this thread is a bad omen for is the prospect of GC retaining a grip on reality.GC, please fix up the spelling mistake in the thread title. I’ll start thinking it’s a bad omen…
by 10 seconds more like itWe will win every final by 10 goals
The team Tom Longeron plays for.Who the hell are Gellong?
I think we can get them in the QF, but in the event we both make the Grand Final I'd have little confidence.We need someone to knock Geelong out for us.

Underrated post.
Ja, will you please fix the typo in the thread title. It’s driving me (more) bonkers?
Your wish, my lady.
Tidied up the punctuation as well because I'm a motivated self-starter who goes above and beyond.
A motivated self-starter who goes above and beyond would have fixed up Fiennes in his post as well.
That Tom Longeron certainly ripped Travis a new arse a few times I remember that much about him.Underrated post.
