[timokane]

either suns or freo but ill go with freo

 

[Clark G]

After losing tonight, the Western Bulldogs are more in danger of missing the top eight.

Bulldogs are fine, Hawthorns the one that needs to watch out. They will need to beat one of Adelaide away Brisbane away or Collingwood at the MCG.

 

[Mr Meow]

The Dogs should (somehow) still be fine if they beat Fremantle and win the other games they start strong favourites in. They can probably afford to lose to GWS.

if hawthorn cant beat 1 of those 3 then they don't deserve to be in the finals.

 

[Mr Meow]

It's possible that 2 teams won't deserve to make it, and that 1 of them does anyway. Hawthorn could be such a side.

 

[kaiserchief13]

Hopefully Hawthorn but probably Freo unless they can go 2/3 in Collingwood, Bulldogs, Brisbane games

Just need 1/3 of those games to make it assuming we win the Carlton, WC & Port games.

I can see us going 2/3 but then dropping one of the games against the other three if our current season results are anything to go by.

Dogs smash everyone below them but can’t beat anybody above. Hawks looking shaky so it will depend on how well the Calvary gel now that they are returning.

Unfortunately the Hawks can get 15 wins and still miss the 8

You think teams need to beat one of Collingwood, Brisbane or Adelaide in an away fixture to deserve a spot in the finals? Geez, that's a high bar. I guess we're going to have roughly 3-4 teams playing finals this year that don't deserve to be there...

Collingwood is at home.

WC and Carlton games are locks. Port away could be an L. If lose tomorrow Freo very much under pressure

 

[bzparkes]

Probably the Dogs.

History suggests they struggle to beat anyone in the top 8 so if it comes down to that in the last rounds, Freo are most likely to win.

 

[FootyLad0]

Based on simulations i've done 10 times it should be Freo or Dogs but don't forget Hawks have to play

Carlton at Home (should win comfortably)
Crows in Adelaide (very tough)
Pies at Home (very tough)
Dees at Home (should win)
Lions in Brisbane (very tough)

May only end up with 2 wins and that could very easily put them in 9th.

Everyone is acting like Freo is already a shoe in but they still need 4 out of 5 to pretty much assure a spot. 3/5 and it's 50/50 at best.

There's 16 mentions of Fremantle in this thread. The surprise win against Collingwood has just stopped them being big favourites to miss out. I don't know where you're getting that everyone thinks they're a shoe in. Maybe you can link me to the appropriate threads.

 

[voorhees]

will be the Hawks
they will be the unlucky one

Well for instance on Access all Areas Damo and Lloydy were discussing teams that could miss the 8, and only spoke about Gold Coast and the Bulldogs.

Oh by everyone you mean a couple of media guys. I thought you meant the masses, or at the very least BigFooty.

It's fairly common on those shows to run doomsday scenarios of the losing teams from the weekend prior, by the way.

Better than that. The Bulldogs need to win 5/5 to catch Freo on 3/5, and that’s less than 50/50 on its own.

Yes maybe youre right.

 

[Papa G]

This week won't tell us much. 7 of top 9 are all playing bottom 9 teams and should win.

Only GC v Brisbane is an 8 point game.

Next week there are 3 top 9 matchups, which will be more interesting.

Don't forget GC have a game in hand. Hawks have toughest run home.

Could come down to percentage. Might add some interest to this boring season in this stale competition.

 

[Freomaniac]

Freo

That's the spirit. LoL

Whitney Houston I will always love you lol
