[StCicatriz]

Poulter is one seriously soft footballer

 

[BrutThough]

So do we care which of Cats or Dogs win?
Giants fans horribly nervous right now.

I'd prefer Dogs to lose so GWS can play finals.

 

[BrutThough]

That should be enough for the Dogs. Very little motivation for Geelong to fight back here.

Over to you GWS.

 

[jwikked]

It's a shame we can't be the ones to knock the dogs out of finals (again)

 

[Munga]

Good to see the continual undermining of the structural integrity of the league with tanking in full effect. Cats throwing the match and no one wants to win out west.

 

[Plugger35]

The Dogs downhill skiing to a win over a half strength Geelong team that are planning their Mad Monday costumes.

I hope GWS win tomorrow, they are more deserving of playing finals than these soft pretenders.

Carlton will have an easy win against them if they meet them in an elimination final.

 

[seasonedsainter]

So an away final against the AFL Swans the mostly likely scenario now...

 

[seasonedsainter]

Dees a huge barrack tomorrow! Although we'd hold no fear of the SCG it would absolutely bring them right into calculations...

 

[jwikked]

Need GWS to win tomorrow. Can’t have those knobheads playing finals

 

[Plugger35]

We need Melbourne to win tomorrow, if they are legit they should win but they might tank it to make sure they finish 4th and play the Pies.

 

[Diehard Saint]

Considering how the Swans actually made finals ( the North and Dees debacles) that would be a travesty.
oh, and Mc Cartin getting off at the tribunal.

Surely Port don't lose to the Tigers regardless? Can't see them throwing that and then relying on the dees to win also. Either way the dees will know by the time their game starts.

I guess that game doesn't really affect us. But I'd prefer the dees to want to win and want to finish 4th and port winning allows that. So go port and dees ha

Yeah if Port win like they should against Richmond the Dees don't need to tank for 4th unless Goodwin is gambling on a Swans win.

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Still a real chance for us to wind up 7th.

 

[#1_pigeonracer]

The Dogs are trash, struggling to beat a half strength Geelong team and if it wasn't for the Bont they would be getting flogged.

Hopefully they lose, they don't deserve to play finals ahead of GWS.

This can't be true as I read their non-bulldogs thread which is largely dedicated to in fighting about how s4it we are.

Personally I'm fearful of the SCG. When did Sydney last lose a final there? Massively going for the Dees today. The good thing is the Dees have nothing to lose by winning (they'll remain fourth) so they should give it a red hot crack.

 

[Sully111]

I think they're less of a threat than GWS so I don't really care

 

[George]

If Richmond beat Port then Melbourne have incentive to beat Sydney, although they may tank it and get the home final v Pies

 

[saintbill]

Port don't look overly interested in winning this one.

Pies at the G a far easier game than Brissie at home.

Dees would be pretty happy to play Pies week 1 of the finals. They match up well.

 

[George]

Also, if the Swans kick 44 points and the Giants kick 56 points, we'll end the H&A as the best defensive side.

 

[George]

Unfortunately, we ended the season bottom four in scoring;

Points For
15. St.Kilda - 1775
16. Hawthorn - 1686
17. North Melbourne - 1657
18. West Coast - 1418

Probably end the season 15th ranked offense and 1st ranked defense. Clearly know where we need to improve. Probably need to be top four in both.

We had a super young inexperienced forward line all year. Hardly a huge surprise. King alone makes a huge difference.

 

[BrutThough]

It would be good if Port could get a bit of a run on here.
