The Scum and Port will be the teams we'll overtake that are currently in the 8
Never said it will happen, was just answering the question from Walshawk "I don’t think it is possible to win 15 and miss." Was just showing it is possible , there is multiple scenario's of 15 wins not getting in the 8. Now in all likely hood of that happening this year is .0000001% but it is still possible. I think the Bulldogs have a nice run and potentially can win 5 (dependent on the Swans game) which gets them in + they have good %. So 2 of the teams in the 8 need to have poor ends to the season. Which current teams will drop out?

What I came up with![]()
Agreed.I’ll put my right one down. No team with 15 wins (or 60 pts) misses out
I tell what I find frustrating and that's having to double up playing the away venue in the same season. Playing both Port and the Crows at AO for eg. If it was fair and equitable system you play once there for the year and you play the other tenant once at the G. Could be just me that has an issue with it but still.Yes, a very close season like this really does highlight the inequities in the fixture. At least we've had double ups against both Tigers and North. Our draw looked pretty hard at the start of the year relative to our ladder position, and we had a relatively rough start, but I wouldn't be surprised if it improved as the year went on, given some of our double ups have been against teams that have fallen from last year (e,g Tigers and Pies), and we'll only play the current top 2 once.
It is not easy to fix the draw with the number of teams in the competition, but they could do a better job by trying to at least even it out over a window that is greater than a season by throwing out the idea of using the ladder as an equalisation factor which is just silly. Where you finish should never dictate who you play. The key metric should be playing teams an equal number of times and evening up home vs away, obviously that can't be done in a single season, but they could write the fixture over a multi-year period. TV rights is probably a big reason why they don't want to do that, as had to predict the blockbusters for Friday night multiple years in advance (for example).

Generally you’d play at least one of the sides twice so there’s the chance of the double travel (we had crows at the g earlier)I tell what I find frustrating and that's having to double up playing the away venue in the same season.

Yes but the double up should have been Port if as I said it's a fair and equitable system.Generally you’d play at least one of the sides twice so there’s the chance of the double travel (we had crows at the g earlier)
They bet their right a few years ago and sadly...Mods on this board are always betting their left testicle on stuff.
Why would we then get 2 home games? Sometimes it’s 2 away and1 home out of the 2 non vic sides, it is what it is. We got 2 home and 1 away from the nsw sidesYes but the double up should have been Port if as I said it's a fair and equitable system.
That question will be answered in 3 weeks.Why not us. Finals or premiership. Just why not. Some would say be realistic whilst others would say why not. Is the glass half empty or half full?
