Where is the guarantee that a Vic side will finish 2nd?

If we want to make it to the gf finishing 2nd is so important. Getting to stay at home and get the week off is the only thing that got Collingwood into the gf last year.
There's no guarantee, but it only matters if a Vic side doesn't finish 2nd (is my only point), which probably looks unlikely as it stands. I'd still rather we finish 2nd.
 
Reckon Charlie moved pretty well last night

Get a good rest in this week and he will be Cherry ripe for the back end of the season

Watch Charlie's game. I had him in my votes. Did all the team things, goal assists, knock ons + 2 goals. I will watch the B & F votes for this game

Or GWS or Port.
We have Sydney, GWS, Freo, Port, GC all vying to make the 8 which I think at least 4 of those will (GC the outlier), GC will if they can win of their 2 home games coming up vs Port, Pies and Melbourne. Then Brisbane is only 1.5 games out of the 8 at present as well (but don't think they'll win more than 5 games of their remaining draw).

The way the ladder is going wouldn't be shocked to see a Carlton v Pies qualifying final.
 
I went to the Gold Coast game with the last of my children I could convince to still attend.
I turned to him at quarter time, with us being 10 points down and said: “I think we are stuffed mate”.
Simply could not predict what happened next.
I went with my 16 Y/o son and our reserved seats (level 1) were at that time of day looking directly into the setting sun.
Sat through the shocking first quarter squinting and thinking this could be the low point of the year, season
over and the pressure on Vossy was going to be off the charts.

As there was a sparse crowd we decided for the first time ever to move to the members side wing at 1/4 time and grab two of the many empty seats also on level 1 and have the sun behind us.

We all know what transpired in that amazing turn around and I like to tell my boy it is all because we moved. :D

You are all welcome. ;)

Just watched the replay, did Jonathan Brown really say he left the game thinking that Essendon were the better team?

I thought I may have missed something first time around but really, we controlled the game for three of four quarters, largely held up well when Essendon did take over in the third and then emphatically finished them in the last. Bizarre interpretation to say the least.

He definitely said that on on the couch last night
 
Went to the game and watched the replay - I am not sure how the media/B Scott were so impressed by their performance.
Barring a patch in the third quarter we looked a much better side I thought.
The I50 count may cause a little bit of concern we weren't able to break through their press but most of their inside 50 kicks were long high bombs to the pockets straight to our interceptors, nothing through the corridor that we had to worry about.

S Burgoyne and J Watson are absolutely atrocious as colour commentary, just so much bumbling and stumbling over themselves trying to get a point out.
Along with J Selwood & N Jones I can't believe 7 as our national free-to-air broadcaster don't have any better options for special comments.

TDK absolutely enormous, Elijah & Cinc fantastic. Cripps lifted in the last when we needed him.
Great to get a win like that with most of the leaders slightly down on output.

Hopefully Harry and Mitch pull up fine plus we have a big contingent of returnees post-bye.
Cerra, Motlop, Martin, Cottrell, Pittonet & Cuningham waiting in the wings.

we will be the worst team to win the premiership :p
 
Strange that the maggots were able to call us for a throw on Cripps that they would have needed to guess as it was on their blind side :rolleyes:
Cripps gets nothing from umps so frustrating!

Think BT does the hiring so him and his fellow dramatist in Brayshaw appear more competent.

We won off the backs of our lesser likes which is a good sign. Their big guns misfired too and their lesser likes couldn’t match our ones output.
 
Haven't completely read through this thread so not sure if someone has already posted this but thought this was worth noting.



Pretty impressive all things considered.

We’ve had a tough run with the fixture & injuries so to be sitting second at half way is pretty darn good!
