Dammit!!
I dont want the hawks to make it either but id say they are better than a 50 % chance from here. Would have been almost 90 % if they hadnt dropped the gws game.

Dammit!!
I reckon Freo will beat Port at Home.
Freo will be playing for their Finals life in Round 24. I can see them playing it like its their Grand Final.
Mathematically, they are still a chance, sure. But I don't think it's realistic. I have the Hawks finishing 9th with 13 wins and Freo finishing 8th because I think Freo can beat Port at home. But you're right. If Freo loses to both GWS and Port, then it may open the door for the Hawks to make 8th. But while I think Freo will lose to GWS, I do think they will beat Port at home.No its not.
Freo have gws away (which i cant see them winning even with darcy back) and then port at home (and port will be fighting for 2nd spot).
If freo drop both if those hawks are in so long as they beat richmond and NM (which they should).
So hawks can lose today and still make it.
If Freo loses to both GWS and Port, then it may open the door for the Hawks to make 8th. But while I think Freo will lose to GWS, I do think they will beat Port at home.
Blues or Hawks today?
Nil all drawBlues or Hawks today?
Your point about games after the Showdown is why i am picking Freo to beat Port in the last roundAnother note is that after showdowns, i think statistically both Port and Crows lose after those games as they play their Showdown games like a Final which are really physical and grueling contests. Crows would love nothing more than to come out and mess with Port's run into Finals so they'll be red hot to try and play spoiler in front of a sold out crowd.
Port having to try and beat Crows in a grueling contest followed by traveling to play Freo in Perth with Freo's season on the line while Port are coming off a showdown?....yeah i reckon Freo will win and hold onto 8th like you said.
I just did a ladder predictor and coming into the preseason this year I had us finishing 7th....if we win our next 2 we'll most likely finish top 2.
If we lose 1 of the 2 we should finish around 7th.
Not to mention two Finals in my ladder predictor in the first week are in Victoria, the AFL would be stoked as currently it's looking like hardly any Finals in Melbourne.

Voss is honestly a poor coach that relies on his 1 and 2 wood and doesn't have the ability to change things.Hawthorn match up well on teams like Carlton who prioritise midfield dominance. In fact, one can argue Hawthorn are the best at it as of right now.
Voss is pretty mundane and won't move his players around like Mitchell will to unsettle things.
Hawthorn should kick away and end Carlton's season.

Scott is a great example of someone who can and does change games often with moves. Voss can't or refuses to do the same.
I want the Hawks because Carlton missing the 8 would be hilarious after the carry on from their supporters and the mediaBlues or Hawks today?

If the Hawks win today, then they probably will make the eight, given their last two games. It really all hinges on today's game for them because losing means they have to rely on other results going their way, and that's never a good place to be.
Possibly but port will need to win to be top 4 otherwise its 5th/6th..a lot on the line for them and freo. Port are better on paper though.Your point about games after the Showdown is why i am picking Freo to beat Port in the last round
On paper is the key here though.. They are also massive chokers when it come to finals or games that shape final mostly finals though.Possibly but port will need to win to be top 4 otherwise its 5th/6th..a lot on the line for them and freo. Port are better on paper though.
Hawks winning will make it very likely they make finals.Hawks winning is much better for us to stay top 4.
Plus Carlton missing all together will give me endless laughter for weeks.

Geelong winning two very winnable games will keep us top 4 no matter what anyone else's results are.
I will not support Hawthorn making it at all, lets hope Carlton kill their season dead today so they can all go back under their rocks that they all scurried out from under once they finally started winning again...
In my ladder predictor, Bulldogs and Carlton win their next 3 and Port win 1 of 2 and we still finish 2nd...but even if I change Port to win all of their games we will still be top 4 if we win our next 2 (would put us in third)
This Freo win and Giants beating Lions has stuffed a lot of people's predictions because both Cats and Giants were pretty heavy underdogs going into away games out of their Home state with two top 8 sides trying to sure up their Finals runs.
Now both Lions and Freo are in trouble, Lions might not make top 4 meaning they've gone from "multiple Finals at the Gabba" to now most likely having to go on the road and win and Freo are in danger of dropping right out of the 8 altogether.
Basically, the only thing stopping us finishing top 4 is us...no one else.
Yup that win yesterday had massive implications for us, and should we win our last two games I think its more likely than not that we finish top 2.Geelong winning two very winnable games will keep us top 4 no matter what anyone else's results are.

2 schools of thought and it depends on hostility between the teams. If Port are pushing top 4 and the Freo players genuinely don't like them, spite is a terrific motivator to **** them over.Are you a believer in players who know the season is finished, won't quite give their all if faced with adversity during a given game?
This is where the final round may play a significant role in shaping the final eight.
Fremantle may know their fate vs Port Adelaide in that final game
Oh its Sunday alreadyCarlton being outcoached already
