Who did you have missing? North Melbourne?
Yeah but if they pull a win that I marked as a loss, they'll make it and the Cats vs Crows game will decide who makes it and who misses out of the two. Assuming they both win the games you'd expect them to.

All guess work but I have North to beat Demons and Saints - and lose to Freo, Bulldogs and Richmond.

Going to be some huge games coming up. popcorn.gifs at the ready.
 
We won't beat the Eagles. Not going to happen. We'll go 2 and 2.
Just like we were not going to beat Richmond? I say lets go one week at a time. Focus on the Bombers and get a win. Focus on the Lions and get a win. When we come up against the Eagles who knows what is going to happen!

I think North will drop out and our game vs Geelong will decide 7th and 8th and a game against the Bullies or Richmond.

We win the next two and we've won 5 of our last 6 going into a home game against a West Coast side that's starting to slip up. With that momentum will build more confidence in possibly jagging a win against West Coast and securing a finals spot
 
Be very interesting to see how long McGovern is out for, their season hinges on him IMO.

LeCras to no doubt miss with suspension too.

Was surprised to see McGovern come back so quick, might have rushed that one. They said it was at the worse end of hamstrings scale. 4-6 weeks. Think he only missed 2 games.

Eagles beat Richmond in Melb. Eagles are a much tougher side. Don't get too carried away with our win Friday night.
 
If we make the finals, the worst outcome would be to play Sydney in an away elimination.

I'd back our bigger bodies against the bulldogs in finals footy.

I think eagles will go out in straight sets in the finals, they are too reliant on too few players, shut down Gaff, and Hearn and you will starve their forward line. Make McGovern accountable and forwards will win their one on ones. Finals football pressure will also create cracks in their "weagles web" full team presses just never seem to work as well in the finals as they did in the H&A.
 
if our team knows we will get a finals spot if we beat the Eagles, at home in front of a screaming crowd hungry after two years of missing i would tip us. No gov and possibly Le cras as well.
 
North have a tough draw, last three games are all against sides above them I expect them to drop out. 12.5 wins should be enough to get in the finals, both Geelong and Adelaide will make it IMO

If our CEO is any good, he will be planning building this game up. Our last home game, against Worsfolds old side, against the club and supporter group that was absolutely brilliant to us in our biggest time of need, against a top 2 side. This is a critical game, we have two weeks to prepare for. Could see us get a home final. Could make the trip to Geelong next week so much easier.

I would start talking about ticket sharing now, for those who won't be there.
 
In my opinion, we won't drop the Essendon or Brisbane matches. Yet I don't think we're good enough to beat West Coast at the moment - if we do it'll be a ripper of a home victory.

It might be percentage that decides whether we make 8th spot or Geelong does. We need to bring our A-game, smash the Bombers and Lions, and not lose to either or we're stuffed!
 
We will lose to one of essendon or brisbane, but beat WC at home.

Its been one of those seasons...

We have not lost too many games to sides below us (as of their current positions). Giants and Port.
We won't beat the Eagles. Not going to happen. We'll go 2 and 2.

The Eagles won't be easy .... but I funnily enough feel more confident about beating them than beating Geelong in Geelong. Got to win the next 2 games, Essendon away and of course the Dons will try their hardest and Brisbane in front of 45,000+ at home on a Saturday Night.
 
IMO If North lose today the the top 8 will be sealed by round 22, last round will be meaningless. Both us and Geelong will be tied on 50 points with us percentage above them due to a big victory over Brisbane. North the next closest on 44 points going into the round, if they manage to best Richmond which I doubt seeing as the game will be pointless for them the Dangerfield cup will be for a home final.

Cmon dees, however if North lose to Richmond on the Friday night instead of Melbourne today which is far more likely the Dangerfield cup will still be pointless.

Think he will get 3 weeks for that hit?

Bollocks. I hope the bookies underate the Eagles like you. It'll be money in the bank. Anytime a team has an excellent midfield and dominant forwards along with a solid defence then lookout. Eagles could go all the way.
 
Hopefully we win the next 3 to take the pressure off the last round.

If the Cats win two of the next 3 (which they are likely to against Collingwood and St Kilda), it doesn't take the pressure off in the last round. If they beat us, that means we've both won 3 of the last 4 and it comes down to percentage, which we currently trail in.
