Top 4/Top 8 thread

[dean33]

The Lions may not be able to move on the ladder though and if they scrap the bye they might decide to rest players, certainly won’t be going flat out I wouldn’t think.

Even if they can’t make top 4 they are more likely to play Essendon if they win while a loss gives them the red hot giants. Plus the fact the eagles are worse than useless outside of Perth.

Doesn't matter if we drop both games. You aren't catching us and the Bulldogs % is too big

Port or Geelong are your only chances

Bulldogs would only have to lose to hawks by 1 point. And then to Port by 50. I’d say that’s a real chance...

Essendon should win this week, but with a team that consistently lets the other team score quite freely… you never know.

 

[powerrrrrrrrrrrr]

Can’t remember a year where the last two weeks was left too play with so much up in the air.

Top 4 team still too play one another and the 5-8 teams still undecided and fighting for positions.

From Ports view, I think we will lock in the top 4 today with a win but I think if we are going to have a good crack we need to get up too 2nd/3rd.

I don’t think many would want to finish 4th as if they loose the QF they will likely then face the lions. The lions have had us in their pockets for the last few years so I’d rather avoid them.

Of course the moto that you have to be able to beat the best to win can be said but if you can get an easier run through the finals then of course you would go for it.

Avoiding the lions for who ever looses that 1v4 QF could be huge.

Alternatively I would much rather Port just win the QF and hit some form for the pointy end of the season. We haven’t had a run of consecutive weeks where it’s really clicked all year so hopefully we start too see that.

Nope, a loss would most likely have them playing the Eagles again.

 

[timokane]

west coast win tomorrow then the top 8 is set

 

[Halftimehero]

How do you work that out?

If Essendon win both their matches they go to 44, Eagles win tomorrow they go to 44, Eagles then lose to the Lions next week then the Bombers make it on %.

Ahh yes you’re right. Still think they try and win, don’t think you play with form just before finals.

 

[schmuttt]

Essendon will make finals assuming they win both their games, Eagles aren’t beating Brisbane in Brisbane.

 

[GOTHELIONS16]

Nope.

We will see...

 

[GOTHELIONS16]

Nope.

You saying that is just denying fact it is possible. Bulldogs losing to Hawks and Port by a combined total of 50 points is unlikely but definitely realistically possible. It can’t be denied because it’s objective truth.

What will the fixture look like for next week? My prediction given Port Dogs, Geelong Melbourne should be on at the same time as well as WC Brisbane, Carlton GWS and Essendon Collingwood on at the same time.

Friday night: Richmond vs Hawthorn
Saturday early: Sydney vs GC
Saturday afternoon: Adelaide vs North
Saturday twilight: St Kilda vs Fremantle
Saturday night: Bulldogs vs Port
Saturday night: Geelong vs Melbourne
Sunday afternoon: Essendon vs Collingwood
Sunday twilight: Carlton vs GWS
Sunday twilight: Brisbane vs WC

Dogs Port Fri night.

Wouldn't be right given Geelong and Melbourne will be impacted by Dogs Port game. Both games should overlap

3 games at Marvel next week, and if the AFL scrap the bye, they'll want top 4 teams having a longer break. Dogs Port will be Friday Night

This I'll be it I reckon
WB V PORT - FRI, MRVL
BL V WCE - SAT, G
RICH V HAW - SUN, MCG
STK V FRE - SAT, MRVL
GEEL V MELB - SAT, GMHBA
ADE V NM - SAT, AO
SYD V GC - SUN, GMHBA
ESS V COL - SAT, MCG
CARL V GWS - SUN, MRVL

There's zero chance more than one finals bound teams get fixtured to play on Sunday. Rich v Haw & Adelaide v North are locks

 

[Bald]

Nope

Touché.

 

[Angus Young]

Dogs huge chance to miss top 4....

who would of thought

They've certainly dropped their bundle, absolutely must win next week.

 

[Great8]

So Saints are gone now and the 8 could be done and dusted by tomorrow

Only if Essendon lose to Gold Coast, and I can’t see that happening.
