So an easier one?
Dogs playing Giants Swans Freo Cats twice is harder. All in the eight.

To be fair most people had Geelong and Freo on the edge of the bottom 4. It's not really the league's responsibility to predict who will rise and fall year-on-year.Dogs playing Giants Swans Freo Cats twice is harder. All in the eight.

We're a strange team. Over the past 14 weeks, we've played some excellent football throughout that entire patch with 3 absolute shockers in between (Lions, Power & Crows).With the Dogs can they put together 6 weeks of good footy that they will now need? Seems like they throw in a shocker every 3-4 weeks
Whereas I think we will be competitive every week but we may throw in a bad quarter but will be competitive the rest of the game. That bad quarter can be costly though
Yes the only real blip since their run was the Geelong game. I think Hawthorn will feel confident against anyone in finals except maybe Geelong. A fair chance for a home elimination final if they win their last two, as they should.With the Dogs can they put together 6 weeks of good footy that they will now need?

It's simple inaccuracy. I find it weird it's not emphasised enough. There's all the emphasis on their dominance in clearances, contested ball etc, but when the Dogs lose they still often having more scoring shots. It will be inaccuracy that'll cost you guys the flag unless you fix it.We're a strange team.

A straight kicking Bulldogs is a scary prospect. Best side in it IMO.It's simple inaccuracy. I find it weird it's not emphasised enough.

Even if they lose, they will still make it if one of Saints/Port win.I feel sick saying this, but the answer is Hawthorn….I’m actually expecting the Dogs to lose next week and not make finals at all.
I’m aware, but I don’t think that’ll happen, but hey it’s 2024 & in this season anything can happen…Even if they lose, they will still make it if one of Saints/Port win.
If it is Dogs-Hawks it'll be Dogs first final at the MCG (or in Melbourne for that matter) since the 2016 Grand FinalBe a cracking final.
Strangely enough, favors Hawthorn at the MCG.
That's a nice summation of most of your contributions to threads thereCarlton.
This is very true, but Hawthorn would have 20 players selected before Bulldogs 12th player....If you lined up the players from both sides and selected them school-style, I wonder when the first Hawks player would be picked.
The Bulldogs will likely miss though, won't they?There is a non 0% chance that both teams make finals and can go quite deep in it.
I think this season is arguably the best in recent memory in as much as there are currently 11 teams competing for finals and bugger all separates teams out bar maybe Sydney.
Come finals time, I think we will see Doggies well and truly in the hunt and Hawthorn either just missing out, or going in there with the mentality of it being a free swing!
Sicily and Moore would go in the top 6 on 2023-2024 form. Newcombe and Day are just less fashionable versons of Libba and Treloar who have improvement in them. Hawks 13th-23rd players are better.If you lined up the players from both sides and selected them school-style, I wonder when the first Hawks player would be picked.
You can usually assume that in the second week of the finals and beyond, that your pressure will be matched by the opposition.Probably Dogs tbh.
Their ceiling is higher and if they reach it are a chance.
They also are more inconsistent though and could shit the bed on Sunday.
Even money with the bookies and they usually know their stuff
