Preview Finals Start Next Week for Us

[BEEG]

Hate these Melbourne type get ahead of yourself threads

Lets just get through the next two weeks and see what happens.

I would prefer to finish fourth rather than third. I think we'd be a chance against Tigers but not Eagles. Also don't really want De Goey to play two matches in a row on the Perth surface.

Given the bye, it would be 2 games in 3 weeks at Perth Oval if it does happen to be the Weagles.

I'm happy to take my chances against either side if we happen to make the 4. Will likely need to beat both to go all the way.

I worry that you worry about everything TD.

Playing 2x finals would be a great year given the last few. Would exceed the expectations of many. Where did you think we'd finish Dave?

Would you prefer 5th to 4th? - It's a legitimate question.....

More Chance we can win a Final Finishing 5th then 4th

If we make top 4, would we rather finish 3rd and travel to Perth or play Richmond at the G?
If we play WCE, I reckon we're a good shout- especially with no Nic Nat. However, a loss would mean travelling back to Victoria which isn't ideal either.
Thoughts?

I would say play Richmond, playing them before sudden death is a better outcome. Much rather play them in a qualifying final than a prelim.

We play who we play.
No easy pathways in September..

Dave if we finish 4th and lose then we play the level of game we would have been playing if we had finished 5th anyway, but have a free hit at a prelim first.

Tend to agree - it's a bit of a conundrum

TD, top 4 at the start of the year was not on many people's radar. It's an achievement in itself, that said I think we are a chance on our day against anyone.

No easy pathways in September..

One week at a time, one opponent at a time.

We beat who we beat on the day and we move on to whoever the F&^K is next.

GO

Personally would love to take out Richmoan week 1 and then have someone else knock them out in straight sets but I'm an optimist and it could happen.

I worry that you worry about everything TD.

And I worry that you are worried about Dave worrying.

Win or lose any finals I'm happy to be back in finals and it would be a great experience and exposure to our younger players. Often you need to lose 1 or 2 before you can really push for the flag. Eg. Tigers made 3 finals in a row and lost them all, bulldogs lost their first final series then went all the way. So if we do finish top 4 and go out in straight sets ill be upset but i think if you told me before the season started thats how the season played out i would've taken it. Plus we have to many injuries to do real damage this year. Hopefully we can carry our form into next year and make a real charge

Another week.....another "final"

If we make the top 4, that will be one of the greatest team efforts in the modern game. Considering our injury list for most of the year, we have no right to be in the 8, let alone be fighting for a top 4 spot in rounds 22/23.
