Ladder shaping up nicely…. With the ladder standing as it is and assuming top ranked finals side wins.. our draw is

QF Melbourne mcg
PF port mcg
GF Brisbane mcg.

I’d happily take that home state advantage in the PF and GF and have the double chance on neutral territory in the QF.

That said, two rounds to go and Melbourne every chance to return to 2nd spot

You don’t think Carlton could sneak into 4th?

Melbourne have Hawks and Swans at the SCG

Carlton have Gold Coast up there and GWS here

Pretty decent chance of making it I reckon.

No

Wouldn’t change my point anyway, I’d prefer a neutral QF and home state advantage PF and GF.

Wouldn’t make much difference to Collingwood if it was Melbourne or Carlton
 
Can see Port coming 2nd if we knock off the Lions next week
Fast footy is where it's at. Collingwood Port grand final. Two best teams all year. Short flat spots before finals whilst they were probably loading up their training to peak for finals.

While I doubt we beat Brisbane at Marvel (we would at the MCG), Port will 100% be barracking for us next week because Brisbane have the Saints at the Gabba the week after

So we’re Ports last realistic chance of giving them second
 
Port doing a number on GWS. Playing themselves back into form.

My ladder predictor now is:
Collingwood
Port
Melbourne
Brisbane

This is predicated on us beating Brisbane on Friday.
 
unlike you to pick against us 😁
Next Friday is the battle of the no-hoper Hawthorn bunnies. It's all about how you go in the big Hawthorn blockbuster. And we got our blocks more busted than Brisbane did when Hawthorn busted their blocks. Therefore, Brisbane comfortably.

I think you've over thought it. I don't really get it. Why are we so keen for Melbourne in the qualifying final?

Just a personal view that if we win that and other games go according to ladder position… ( big if) then we will have an easier path to the premiership with home state advantage in the remaining games.

I don’t think there’s any “ we” with that theory, it’s more a “ me” lol

Edit I should have put a wink or smile at the end of my previous post because it was not serious.
 
We aren’t leaving Melb. If we have concerns regarding teams we face at the MCG, we got no business playing finals.

Our best can beat anyone

“ we” are a bunch of randoms on an Internet forum, and our concerns or otherwise have no bearing on the outcome.

Speculating on the variables is just harmless fun.

I'm more anyone but Port in the QF. As I think they're the only team who can compete with us if we're on and I think the home ground advantage diminishes in finals when teams are going to be up regardless of the crowd.
