So the not 15mtr rule not relevant at the SCG.

Dogs and hawks winning interstate so they deserve to be in finals…if they finish the job off.cats got to beat dockers to confirm finals appearance it seems!

 

[patience]

Live ladder has ESS down to 10th

Their natural habitat.

 

[Gunf]

Hmm looing at the ladder still a very good chance that top 4 is completely interstate sides which would piss off the AFL and the MCG/MCC

Che? We are unlikely to beat Freo over there but we will play finals.
Hawks will be lucky to make it the 8-dogs will get to 6th maybe?

It's crazy that at the moment, 14 of the 18 teams have a percentage over 100. Essendon, West Coast, North and Richmond the only ones with a percentage lower than 100.

 

[Vdubs]

The Dogs have the ability to do this but they are so unreliable

Current form counts.
Beating teams 3, 2, then 1 is a massive statement of their ability.
Have never doubted their list- now they are putting it all together.
Their talent and age profile is enviable.

 

[Gee Class Loco]

My Flag Fancy is giving the Swans a good old touch up...
Beware the Bulldog.

Swans game making me feel a little better about our showing against the Dogs

We might have been lucky it was wet and muddy at K Park last week. Dogs a class above, might have been a 20-goal shellacking.

Rubbish.
Dogs were lucky the oval was a disaster zone. Effectively it halved an already skinny ground.
Not saying we would have won, but saying we may have been belted by 20 goals if it was dry is ridiculous.

They would not have thought they were lucky arriving at Geelong midwinter last week- just handled the conditions perfectly and showcased their talent.

They're currently belting the Swans by 10 in good conditions - 20 is probably a bit much, but 15? Easily a possibility

It suited their game style. They are an in tight contested team.

We are the opposite.

Nah cant subscribe to that.
Dogs may win the flag though. Who knows.

Siri, show me the definition of "bruise free"....

Could update this with a picture of the Sidney Swons.

At least this makes our loss to the Bulldogs look less awful.

We are the opposite.

The best teams should be adaptable- any place, any time- it was our HG after all.

Here's a hypothetical I thought about during the week. If we were to finish 6, and GWS 7, our first final- home at Geelong where we never beat them, or at the G?

 

[BotsMaster]

This is a result of the injuries the Swans have.

They worked harder than us too.

That’s what happens when you don’t manage players when you can

 

[patience]

The stands are empty.

 

[BotsMaster]

Did everyone tip the Crows or Hawks?

I agree with that.

I’d rather play any team at the G. Apart from the Hawthorn hammering we have been pretty poor at home this year.

Pretty sure I read during the week that it was still mathematically possible for Sydney to miss the finals

 

[And_ROOS]

Hawks putting Croms to the sword. We really need to belt Adelaide next week. Hawks just running it out of defence, zero pressure from their forwards.
