Forgot about the other game. How did they end up choking that?

The bottom two streak continues. More priority picks will be asked for

It was glorious.


Utterly, utterly glorious.

I think GWS winning doesn't change much for us re top 4 hopes. If we win out we still pass them given that would also entail beating them in the last round. GWS, Freo, Geelong and Port playing games against each other helps us (if we can beat the Giants).

Leon is creaming his pants rn

You are correct.

I see a lot of upside in that GWS result

Only if Brisbane shit the bed and the dogs win all games.

Otherwise there isn't one

 

[The_torpedo]

can't stand gws

wish brisbane kicked straight and beat those hi vis clowns

i feel ill at the thought of them winning the flag

 

[Cadillac]

If we win all our games we’ll jump them with our percentage. Don’t need to worry too much about them

Great call

 

[Sentinel]

I think we almost certainly make top 4 if we win out from here.

If we win only 2, for top 4 we need 3 of the following to occur:

• GWS to lose to both Freo and us
• Brisbane to lose to both Collingwood and Essendon
• Port to lose to 2 of Melbourne, Adelaide and Freo
• Freo to lose to 2 of Geelong, GWS and Port
• Geelong to lose 2 of Freo, St Kilda and West Coast

GWS winning today didn't move the dial much at all regarding the above as we'd still have needed 2 of the bottom 3 to occur (plus GWS to lose to either Freo or us) to make it.

Freo not looking too good so far.

Today has been shit

 

[Golden_6]

GWS winning today doesn’t change our top 4 chances in the slightest.

Win all 3 games and we should be good.

GWS winning today doesn’t change our top 4 chances in the slightest.

Win all 3 games and we should be good.

Not if Geelong wins.

Its hard with so many moving parts.

If we win all three we will probably make top four unless Freo lose all their home games. If we only win 2 of the 3 I think we probably end up 7th. Thats probably where the GWS result could hurt, if we lost tomorrow and won the last two we’d still be a decent chance at a home Elimination Final.

 

[Sentinel]

Not if Geelong wins.

That hasn't changed by GWS winning though. Was already the case.

Yeah them winning has an impact if we lose 1 and finish in the lower half of the 8. No impact if we win all 3 (since we'd beat them and pass them), if anything it helps us potentially move above Brisbane.

 

[Leon]

Can we hypothetically, possibly, mathematically possible etc finish second, anyone?

 

[Sentinel]

We can still even finish 1st, but obviously won't.

True but I’ve been informed that Collingwood has an exactly zero percent chance of beating Brisbane next week

Man it would be crazy if we finished top 2.

 

[W W Biscuit]

Not to dampen everyone's spirits, but remember what happened the last time we had three very winnable games in the last three rounds to condolidate top four.

 

[Next Waiting]

Can we hypothetically, possibly, mathematically possible etc finish second, anyone?

Yes. We can. If Geelong lose to one of Saints or Eagles, the Lions lose to the Pies or Essendon and Freo beat Port in the last round we will finish 2nd if we remain unbeaten

 

[Sentinel]

Yes. We can. If Geelong lose to one of Saints or Eagles, the Lions lose to the Pies or Essendon and Freo beat Port in the last round we will finish 2nd if we remain unbeaten

Geelong can also lose today for us to finish above them, if we win out - but that would also require Freo to lose to GWS to pass them.

 

[Next Waiting]

Geelong can also lose today for us to finish above them, if we win out.

True. I'm just taking it for granted that they are not going to lose today going by the first quarter.

 

[Next Waiting]

True. I'm just taking it for granted that they are not going to lose today going by the first quarter.

Hold all tickets. That was a decent roost from that Freo guy.

 

[Sentinel]

True. I'm just taking it for granted that they are not going to lose today going by the first quarter.

Did you not see the 2 earlier games today with 30+ point comebacks? Plenty of time for Freo yet.

Just watched the last few minutes of the Norf V Eagles game and with 2 minutes to go Norf were up by 13 and all you can say about those last 2 minutes is LOLNORF!
