Port lose to Brizzy, Crows beat Geelong, Showdown 3, Ken hates games against the Crows…

Man can you imagine the Crows putting us out in straight sets!

Fukcin' riot time.

 

[PowerBaz]

I can't believe even after winning 13 in a row we still somehow blow top 2.

Ken needs to man up for Showdowns.

He hates them, extra ‘pressure’

Nicks would go out of his way to actively want to beat Ken.

Crom have to make the eight first.

Only 39k on a Friday night. It holds 54.

This obsession with Collingwood missing a few players is pathetic. We were missing 7-8 for weeks on end and no one batted an eye lid.

It’s 3 players after basically 2 years injury free.Time for them to get over it after they had an amazing run.

VIC's gonna VIC

 

[Expat power]

Port would have to win by about 300 points to make up the percentage gap Hodgey you dope.

Doesn’t he mean if we win the next two they also have to win the next two?

 

[Pappagallo]

They will demolish the Saints

Yeah they will, but they were discussing the prospect of resting players before finals and Brisbane still need to win to lock us out if we beat Freo and Richmond.

 

[PAFC66]

Crom have to make the eight first.

They'll beat Sydney at home and west coast.

Saints are trash

They should easy.

I am not so sure. Sydney play well at AO against the Crom.

They’re their best 3 players which most teams would struggle to cover.

 

[240volt]

No just like we normally lose finals

Where did you pull that stat from?

 

[Pappagallo]

Actually scratch this I added tonight’s win to the live ladder. We can still get 2nd if we win both and Brisbane lose next week.

Hodge still has sh1t for brains though.

 

[ClintEastwood]

How come Brisbane can share the same colors as the Crows, but Port and Collingwood? NO!!

Maroon my arseh*le.... that's orangey red.

 

[240volt]

They should easy.

Easy? It’s not just them winning other teams have to lose for them to get in.

TBF It’s an official sell out at a ground that isn’t the pies home.

Sponsors and corporates of the Marval home teams are to blame for the no shows.

 

[Coobk001]

My own personal opinion, but that nails the coffin shut on our chances of making a GF. We blew it in the 4th quarter against Collingwood. We won't beat Brisbane in Brisbane, we'll probably get smacked, and Collingwood at the MCG could get even uglier.

Its a negative slant of course, but based on the history of watching this team I can't see either of those results going our way. Best chance for us is for Melbourne to win a QF and for us to land on their side of the draw IMO.

 

[Interstater]

It's happening.

 

[Portmagpies36]

Top side by a clear margin should be able to cover them, they had those players against Carlton and Hawthorn when they were well beaten

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

earlier this week i looked up flights to qld because i was thinking brisbane finish 2nd and port finish 3rd.

yesterday i found out tonight's game was played at docklands not mcg, and i thought brisbane can win this game and can finish top as collingwood are banged up and are resting players, and their last game is against essendon who probably have to win that game to make the 8.

so the 2 v 3 qf could be collingwood v port, which is a lot more palletable. of course we have to win both our games for that to happen.

given the heat is off hinkley we probably stuff it up and finish 4th and then will have to travel to the gabba

 

[Coobk001]

Really blows me away Collingwood are so good though. They've made so many shit players into great role players. Murphy, Frampton, Noble, McCreary, Cox, Ginnivan, Markov, just so many potatoes that have fit into a system amazingly.

 

[tribey]

Brisbane winning the flag given how far they fell in the mid-10’s while losing Polec/Yeo/Crisp/Docherty for peanuts would be a very sobering outcome, all things considered.
