Unofficial Preview Changes & Pre-match Discussion - Round 17 vs. North, Sat 09/07, 1:45pm MCG

Not a fan so I'll say Chrysler Hemi

What about a Holden or Ford V8 ute? Powerful and versatile.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Not to take the opposition too lightly, but FMD we need a percentage booster tomorrow. Would help to gap the Saints.

I prefer we win and let rest take care of itself

Hilux is a quality machine but hideously overpriced.

Take it from someone who spent 30+ years in the light transport industry . . .

DMAX RULES.

Personally..... while percentage would be good, it’s probably too late to close the gap to the bulk of the field. We just haven’t drawn enough games against the crap teams.

To advance up the ladder we simply need to keep winning and acknowledge that percentage probably won’t get us there.

That said, Carlton aren’t out of reach

West coast loss thread here was somewhat prophetic!

Even then , case in point. Even a one point win against the eagles would have us fifth on the ladder instead of seventh.

But we beat other teams we weren’t expected to beat. We’ve had far more unexpected wins than unexpected losses!

 

[KinderSmock]

Win the next 2-3 and hard to see us missing the 8

Really, Saints the only team that could force any one of those still around us out

Like us, Saint have a tough last 3 games.

13 in the past has been a magic number. Last season, we'd have pretty much qualified for finals as Essendon had only 11.

If you keep winning, your percentage goes up. Focus on the war, not the battles. Our big bad loss against the Doggies undid the solid win against Adelaide. Hopefully the Crows are disorganised and we give them another 48 point thumping.

If you keep winning, your premiership points go up. Percentage depends on the margin you win by ( it can go down) but you always get the four points. Can’t see our percentage ever getting close to many teams above us. We just need to win more games than as many of them as we can.
