Geez, those games against the pies / blues / saints were so costly, weren't they?
Yeah.. but our wins against Hawthorn, Ade (twice), GWS, WCE, WB and North weren't too shabby.

Geez, those games against the pies / blues / saints were so costly, weren't they?
It was a lighthearted comment but ok.Do you remember how the Dee's intensity went through the roof in the final few minutes of the 2011 game when they realised we just needed one more goal to break the all time record? Of course there's something in it for them.
Saints' game was the big one for me. We'd just come off three good wins against top 8 sides and it was the last game before the bye, plus we were up by a goal and a half with less than 5min to goCan't see West Coast getting over the Crows without Nic Nat. Their stats just drop too much without him. Adelaide should easily win. Geez, those games against the pies / blues / saints were so costly, weren't they?
Any way to get the Dogs above West Coast so the Hawks have to travel to Perth for an elimination final?My ideal scenario for how next week plays out:
- West Coast beats Adelaide on Friday night
- We beat/smash Melbourne on Saturday
- Sydney versus Richmond; it'd be nice to see Richmond win, but if the Swans win then so be it.
- GWS beats North Melbourne
- Bulldogs smash Freo and give their percentage a boost
- most importantly, Collingwood win their final game of the season getting over Hawthorn.
If West Coast lose but can keep it close, we pretty much need a 10+ goal win over Melbourne to move above Adelaide.
After the Hawks game, I actually found myself idly humming "we're the big birds, playing the big game..." around the houseI'll learn their bloody song if they get up

Awful. For me in the worst stakes it's hard to split:After the Hawks game, I actually found myself idly humming "we're the big birds, playing the big game..." around the house
Is it the worst song in the league? It's right up there.
Let's hope they improve again tmrw night, weagles web is back. Strangle the crows front running fwds!Eagles will lose but not by much. Then if / when we beat Melbourne by 13 goals we finish 2nd.
We're the big birds, kings of the big gameI'll learn their bloody song if they get up
Missing Sloan and smith. Also, I wonder what pressure will do to Adelaide. Eagles in a sense have nothing to lose. They're outside the top 4 and it'll take a lot of upsets for them to sneak in. Adelaide however go in knowing that a slight **** up sees them lose a home final. And they know deep down they can't beat Geelong at the G. It'll be a cracking game.Let's hope they improve again tmrw night, weagles web is back. Strangle the crows front running fwds!

Hawthorn are no moral to beat CollingwoodIf they lose, Hawthorn will overtake them.

A win for us with an Adelaide/Hawthorn double defeat would just be deliciousHawthorn are no moral to beat Collingwood

Pretty sure if this happens we'd play Adelaide at the MCG and Hawthorn would finish anywhere from 5th to 7th depending on other results.Depends who you'd prefer to play in the QF.
Hawks obv?

But most importantly we'd play Adelaide in Melbourne.... I think.
They are steeling themselves for tmrw night, God forbid if they get an armchair ride thru the finalsMissing Sloan and smith. Also, I wonder what pressure will do to Adelaide.

I think this would be the dream scenario for us but having said that I'm confident we could beat Adelaide in Adelaide aswell as Hawthorn at the MCG.Damn, yep, you're right. I mis-read!
I'd be happy with that scenario.
