Our season in the hands of the Bulldogs

[dunno4]

The way I see it, if you load up that ladder predictor from the AFL site, the only way we can possibly make the finals is if the Bulldogs beat the Kangaroos in round 21 and Essendon in round 22. (oh, and of course we win all our remaining matches by big margins)

 

[Pedro]

Unfortunately we are headed for a finish in no mans land of abouth 10th.

 

[Rocca Flys High]

Don't think so.

I think we need to beat Carlton by 30 something and win the remaining matches.


Essedon lose all
Kangers lose the last 3

And thats maybe 8.

Carlton has helped but will have to lose to Collingwood.

 

[jefffff34]

If we beat Essendon we are 1 game out.

 

[M29]

Everyones season outside of the top 5 is over regardless.

 

[jefffff34]

The title of worse ever premiers sits nicely with me.

'Worst' you mean.

 

[Text_Walker]

We will beat Carlton but Im not sure on Essendon

 

[Rocca Flys High]

With No Matty Lloyd and Neon Davis on a roll, why can't we win?


I see a good victory and 8th place.

I respect this man right here. Rocca flys High says the truth, but how can we make it in to the finals. Explain...

Stop clutching at straws, you guys have known for weeks your season has been as good as over - what's with the sudden change of heart?

They are bulls*it predictions Rocca flys High - and conveniently have a lot of underdogs winning and Collingwood win to make the finals, the simple fact is - it's not going to happen and I'd be planning for a hopefully successful 2005.

And all those pencilling in Essendon as an easy win this week, havn't you guys learnt anything in the last few years seriously? When you've been favourites to win each time, we've come out and played our best footy for the year. It's far from a foregone conclusion and I am surprised how many of you are so confident of victory on Friday Night...

 

[dunno4]

After having no price quoted to make the 8 at centrebet last week, we are now $41 to make the 8 and $501 to win the flag.

Hird will put on a clinic, as he almost always does against the Pies. With Clement a doubtful starter, only torrential rain will prevent Essendon getting back on the winners list this week. Pies blew it earlier in the season against Carlton, Melbourne and the Swans.

 

[Rocca Flys High]

Clement will play according to the news.

I hate when the team fades.

The pies nearly lost to richmond, that was just pure fading

 

[The Scarecrow]

It started to look almost the same last week against the Dockers, really we can't make the 8. There's still a slight chance, but I really can't see us making it, we'll finish around 10th or 11th.

 

[Inside50]

Im not going to worry about it until after this round. It's to much guesswork from this far out. But we might temporarily be in the 8 on friday night Round 22..

 

[Captain Sensible]

Sorry guys but if you are relying on us to beat anyone then youre sunk.



We have a priority pick to think of.

Well the Bulldogs can only win 1 remaining game and still get the priority pick so we won't be playing to hard. With Rawlings and Murphy out of the side we can't place too much expectation so the young players will be developed further and we will most likely roll over for the Power and the Roos to guarantee our picks. After that we will try and beat Essendon unless we pluck a win somewhere else and have to drop this game as well.
I wouldn't be hoping that we are going to help you out with a win.

beating Essendon would do us just fine

 

[labrooy]

The sad fact is that even if we win the remaining three games the best we can realistically hope for is to miss the eight by percentage. Whilst it is mathematically possible to make the finals it relies too much on other (unlikely) results going our way.

At least we can hold our heads high and point out that we played out the season hard instead of accepting mediocrity in the name of getting priority draft picks. What a cop out!!
