If Tigers win today they lock in final v Cats? Simple equation - no goals needed etc for %?

Unless they win by something unrealistic like 210-209 and their percentage drops below GWS

Nope. Richmond already has a better percentage than GWS so a win is all that's required.

If they don't win and Port end up top 4 then 14 wins (and decent percentage) gets a double chance. Lots of teams kicking themselves this year.

Sorry I don't quite understand this. If Richmond win they finish third, if they lose they finish sixth. I can't see how percentage affects that.

Edit: I take it you mean GWS rather than Port. So yes I suppose it's theoretically possible for them to win but drop in percentage. Would be a hell of a game!

Yes it's locked in. They'll go to 60 points and have a better percentage than GWS.

Big game for Melbourne town with Tigers at the MCG week 1 finals

 

[vaughany]

Richmond have a 1.9% jump on GWS but percentage should be irrelevant for them. Just win and take third?

You can easily win and drop percentage, if your percentage going in to the game was over 100, but since Richmond's percentage is quite close to 100 (compared to, say, Adelaide's) it's unrealistic for Richmond to win by a scoreline that is sufficient to drop its percentage below the Giants, or for Essendon's percentage to drop below Melbourne's in the same fashion.

If GWS wanted Geelong in week 1, a 20 point loss, rather than 44 points, would have given the Giants a decent chance, even if Richmond won. Now, the only way it happens is if Richmond doesn't win.

The EF's are traditionally the big games in week 1? I would have thought they get Thursday-Friday night.

That would be very tasty. An Adelaide derby, and tigers v dons at the G.

And then there's a return to KP for the Giants. No guarantees of a repeat but cats fans would happily take that.

This will almost certainly be the case.

Would need some stupid score to make our percentage drop despite winning. Mathematically possible, but seriously unrealistic.

West Coast shant be playing finals

 

[HTT]

Thurs night: Adelaide v GWS AO
Fri Night: Geelong v Richmond MCG

You're right. Port and Sydney are virtually locked in where they are. Richmond will go to 3rd if they win as they're ahead on points. If they lose they stay where they are due to having a poorer percentage, hence why they're sixth now after Sydney and Port won.

Personally I'd love a Geelong v Richmond first final. The loser would probably get Sydney.

You just don't know that

 

[Adz]

I really can't see 7 not asking for Tigers and Geelong for the Friday.

 

[Great8]

Atleast the MCG is guaranteed a final in week 1 now

 

[citizen-erased]

Adelaide v GWS - Thursday 7th Sept, Adelaide Oval 7.50pm

Geelong v Richmond - Friday 8th Sept,
MCG 7.50pm

Port Adelaide v West Coast - Saturday 9th Sept, Adelaide Oval 3.20pm

Sydney v Essendon - Saturday 9th Sept, SCG 7.25pm

This my tip assuming don't completely choke it up today

 

[citizen-erased]

West Coast shant be playing finals

Crows guaranteed top spot

If rumours are to be believed that lever is heading to Melbourne, they can move melbourne's pick earlier into the draft

Kennedy needs a good day out to get the Coleman

Get them feeling the eagles will win tonight.
I hope not cos I want the dees in, but I can see Adelaide treating this like a light training session

 

[catters078]

Thursday night -Port vs Melbourne or eagles at adelaide oval...either way I think port will host the Thursday game

Friday night- Adelaide vs GWS at adelaide oval

Sat arvo - Sydney vs Essendon at SCG

Sat night- Geelong vs Richmond at MCG
