Not sure what you mean. Even if Carlton win tomorrow, Hawks have two winnable games and are only 6 point behind us. We lose both and hawks win two they jump us.

I mean it's impossible for us to drop out of the 8 this weekend.

 

[MadMundy]

Gold Coast have given us somewhat of a reprieve, we still need to hold up our end of the bargain though.

Ah ok, well I didn’t mean this weekend hence the comment about upsets in the next fortnight.

Doesn't mean anything unless Carlton win tomorrow


Then the actual big task is needing to win 1 of the last 2 games, 2nd and 3rd on the ladder as it stands

 

[Lach72]

Essington.

1.9 on the last quarter to two goals…

 

[FreoRicci]

Essendon have Sydney then Brisbane next.
They’re good as done.

Hawthorn have Carlton, then Richmond and North.
Win tomorrow, they’re in the finals you would think.

Bulldogs have Adelaide, North then GWS. They’ll be staying.

Carlton have West Coast after tomorrow then St Kilda. They’ll stay.

Really depends on tomorrow.

Collingwood has Brisbane then Melbourne.

Fremantle really screwed themselves with the draw now.

You reckon Carlton are a sure thing next week against West Coast in Perth.

I don’t think they are. They could lose their next two games

Would love for them to beat hawthorn but then lose to WC lol

 

[FreoRicci]

Yep. Easily.

West Coast are cooked. They’ll fall under Cripps etc

Yeah this is the saddest reality

What’s most damning about that is tho they’re every bit as young as us with even (questionable granted) less talent, certainly top end anyway.

Wonder if their supporters etc bang on about being too young , just wait till next year etc?

Clearly Sam Mitchell isn’t thinking that way and it shows throughout the team

I don't think the club or JL uses the the youth excuse.

 

[longsuffreosupp]

We need to win at least one or we're cooked..

Yeah and how many games do they play in Melbourne again? Be nice wouldn’t it to stay in our own beds for most of the season.

At the end of the day, if we miss finals, we have nobody to blame but ourselves. We've pretty much had finals, even top four served up to us on a silver platter, everything was in place for us to clean up and storm forward into September as one of if not THE form team in the competition, but at every stage, when the pressure was on, we let FIVE games slip from our grasp in the final quarter.

 

[s_wd6]

We need to win at least one or we're cooked..

If Carlton lose tomorrow then we win one and we're still cooked.

 

[ilikepotatoes]

And unfortunately I can't remember a time in recent memory where Carlton have ever done anything but **** with us

There's been maybe only a handful of games I've wanted them to win in these past two three years and they've lost every single one. They're a bunch of useless campaigners.

It's almost the perfect combo of ick.

Carlton and Sam Mitchell ****ing us over should the Hawks get up tomorrow.

Just frustrating we've put ourselves in this position in the first place.

 

[mike91]

Bruest sub in a must win game. I somewhat admire the mindset Mitchell is keeping throughout the season, regardless of the situation, he backs the kids and plans for the future

a late out due to soreness.'

Bit of a boost for the Blues.

 

[Joao]

The Hawks are the most even team going. Not sure Jiath makes that much of a difference.

If it was Day or Siciliy, that would be a big problem.

 

[Ge3ks]

This is gonna be a ripper game.

 

[Ge3ks]

Both teams just playing on, always moving. Terrific to watch. None of this slow methodical possession footy that we keep resorting to.

It’s almost as if they fully appreciate and understand the situation the find themselves in
