At least Essendon, in their injury ridden state, are able to beat the three easy-beats in 2012. GWS, Gold Coast and Melbou...

I know they have a few injuries but Essendon look nowhere near a top 8 side at the moment.
They might cling on to their top 8 spot but really don't deserve to play finals ahead of the likes of Geelong, North, St Kilda, Freo, Carlton and Richmond in their current form.

How do Carlton and Richmond deserve to play finals ahead of the Bombers?? Richmond just lost to GOLD-Freaking-COAST two weeks ago...

Essendon were done by freakin Melbourne, and the Hawks were done by freaking Richmond, and the Swans were done by the freaking Tigers, so whats your freakin point.

Ummm actually they have Crows Roos Carl Rich Coll
NMFC isnt the easy beat that WB are
They arent beating us at home, roos will beat them on recent form, Carlton and richmond id toss a coin and Collingwood should thump them.... so of the next 5 they might win 1 or 2.....or 0..... they arent playing finals

Richmond also beat Hawthorn and I still think Richmond are playing better football than Essendon at the moment and would be more competitive in finals.

Why are early season wins worth less than a late North surge - assuming we make it? I agree our form is horrible, we badly need a lot of key players back make a finals impression. Still possible we can miss out ... from 8-1 ... geez.

2 wins and we certainly do. 1 more is probably enough ...
Mute point in our current form anyway
The losing margin in each of Essendon's three July defeats was greater than that of Richmond's past six losses combined.

That happened yes....in round 10, 9 and 7 respectively. We are at Round 18 now.
Since then Hawks have been on fire, Carlton has dropped like a stone, Essendon is treading water and Richmond hasn't really defeated a bigshot since unless you count the Saints. I'd say a defeat to a bottom-tier team two weeks ago would have more relevance on current form than one back in Round 7 wouldn't you say? I freaking would.
Edit: Typo. Round 18 rather.

Crows at AMMI... Ouch.
North at Etihad... Ouch
Carlton, Richmond and Collingwood at the G... ouch.
If they are going to pinch one it would be the Tiges, but Essendon have no hope in the other 4.

No doubt but if we are talking top 8 then close-enough (as in close loses) isn't really good enough now is it? The losses that the Bombers have incurred have been heavy, but they have been able to get over the line where Richmond hasn't and that is what counts in the longrun.

6th Roo's, 7th Saint's and Bomber's 8th.
Yeah they have the wins on the board and Richmond doesn't deserve to make it. But on current form, Richmond would be more competitive in an elimination final than the Bombers.
