Game Day 2024 Non-Swans Game Day

[The King!]

Scott: “We’ve earned this position on the ladder because we’ve played good footy throughout the year “

LMAO, by the end of this round, you might be out of the 8 … not to mention a percentage of only 98%

And he is right they have earned their eventual 11th spot

 

[J_Moore]

I’m so glad we’re above the pack. The ladder is crazy lol

Honestly still can’t rule us out of slipping to 2nd/3rd

Carlton & Geelong both have North/West Coast/Saints in their run home.

Highest ranked side the Blues play is the Power, but they’ve got them in Melb (we play them in Adelaide)

We’ve got Adelaide at home as our easiest remaining fixture.

I mean it’s unlikely we drop 4 out of our next 6, but it’s not impossible.

They need to win 4 more than us essentially

3 gets level but assume % puts us ahead

So yeah our worst case has to be 2 wins out of 6, we have a tough little run too, but if we win this week and next then I think we are safe.

Surely we can win 2 more? really 3 more?

Dogs Port Crows? but the even Pies and Dons should be fine

Yeah win 2 and we’re fine, failing some of the strangest margins imaginable.

I don’t think the first of those two wins is coming on Sunday, though

I disagree I think we win this and drop some dumb game like Essendon at Marvel

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

Scott coming across as a mumbling sore-loser kid!!

This is news to you?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

lol biggest pretenders Essendon boy I’ll be glad if we get them coming 4th

Crows at home have us dropping watch us rest half the team

Kirk captain?

No haha, but haven’t seen him mumble so much

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

Melts on the Essendon board are delicious

Blitz is better

Agree but they’ll struggle to make the 8 now, let alone finish 4th.

 

[Jewelsbon]

My son in law (who I adore) is a bombers fan and he is gutted, he really thought this was the year to end the drought.

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

Reddit is pretty funny, here’s one:

Sorry Essendon. I really want to but I can’t any more. I have wasted my youth and just can’t bear it and longer. It just hurts so much and makes you wonder what the point of football is. I’m sorry.

Teams it’d be perennial torture to support:

1. Essendon
2. St Kilda
3. Fremantle
4. North Melbourne

The order of 2nd-4th is debatable. But nobody is knocking Essendon off top spot.

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

The way the ladder’s going and how our games are sequenced, we might get to mathematically end the season of the Dogs, Port, Pies and Essendon.

Can’t wait !

Gold Coast would be getting there this season if they miss the 8

Rest half the team before a week off…..

The problem with this order is that they have won 16 flags. Hardly the definition of torture. If your ranking criteria was based on the last 20 years then you might have a case.

St Kilda are the clear number one for mine - at least until they win their next flag. In that case, then Freo would assume the all-time misery mantle.

 

[Kiama Chris]

Wow. A win and they could have finished the round in 2nd. Now they might finish outside the 8

Possible but more likely 7th.

 

[Kbroome]

Possible but more likely 7th.

Will most likely be 8th i believe unless Melbourne beat Freo which would make them fall to 9th.
GWS, Melbourne & Port can jump them and their matchups are:

GWS: GCS @ Engine
Melbourne: Freo @ Optus
Port: Richmond @ Adelaide

 

[momentbymoment]

So Essendon likely to be edged out of the 8?

 

[momentbymoment]

We are a very dumb football team.
- from the Essendon board.

Fact check true.

The mumbling of a humbling.
