Just thought I'd throw it out there. Yes we've been playing dreadfully but none of the last 3 are unwinnable, unlike last week's game. Being back at home will do them the world of good. I've also got a feeling they'll be wanting to make a statement after the SJ/Mackie events of this week.

Damn right we can win the last 3 games but unfortunatly.....
Melbourne: Havnt beaten us down at Kardinia for god knows how long, AND they are going backwards at the moment

West Coast: A bit iffy at the moment, and play at SS once every 1-2 years

Richmond: Well yeah, not the hardest team to beat but could be a great game

So the games arnt all going to be high quality, and are not going to be extremly hard for us if we hit form and possibly even wont have much effect pressure wise on us going into ROund 1 of the finals. Also IMO i dont think we will have as big of an impact in the finals like last year as we have pretty much blown our oppertunity at the second chance.

But saying all that, i'd love to win all the games (and i think we will) and finish 5-6, host the first week and play someone like the Roos in a Semi.

It can't be Bris or Bulldogs in a semi as neither will make top four. If we make a semi we would play the loser of 1v4 or 2v3.

Ah yes, you're right - the key word being semi.

I was speaking of the first week where we'll more than likely come up against Brisbane or the Bulldogs.

We nedd to finish 5th or 8th to have a decent chance i believe.
if we finish 5th or 8th we can't play the Eagles in a Prem if we reach that far as they will be on the other half of the draw, i still think we will finish 5th and win our last 3 games, most likely play bris or Dogs first up followed by the Swans who will finsih 4th and lose to the Eagles.

If we beat the Swans we would play the winner of Adel vs Saints which i think will be the Saints, that would be both teams grand final day as i reckon both would beat the eagles in a grand final.

but if we finish 6th or 7th, we could have to travel to bris first up if we finish 7th, then the Crows away the 2nd week then the eagles in a prem away, 3 weeks in a row on the road, couldn't do damage with that draw

anyway still a long way to go, lets win this week first and hop the Saints beat the Roos, damn Pies couldn't hold on for us last week

della!

Shame the Weagles aren't playing us this week as these antartic conditions would give us an edge.

With our current form not one of these games is a certainty but if there has ever been a time for the boys to step up and fight it out and show some heart this is it!!
