They can’t make the 8 if Carlton just win..

 

[gtrxuone]

With wins today to Bulldogs Hawks and the Blues looking good at ht.
Only Freo are a chance of a top 8 finals appearance..Its all on us again

 

[Doctor Feel]

Essendon being top few early then slowly tumbling down from second has been pretty satisfying.

 

[FishingRick04]

super Sunday

Dogs v GWS
Blues v Saints
Freeo v us

They couldn’t have done it better

Dogs and Blues win, Freeo are cooked and we play netball

It's extremely unlikely we will finish lower than 3rd. Would need over a hundred point total turnaround between us and Geelong combined.

Yes, but feasible. Geelong is playing WCE at GMHBA, and a 50 to 100 point win is not out of the question. Look at Bulldogs (96 point) win, Hawthorn (63 point) win and Carlton, early in third, is already 30 points over WCE. If we don’t show up against Freo who season will be dependant on beating us, a 30-50 point loss is possible. That gives you the turnaround.

After going ballistic at how unfair it was that Sydney got crowd support last week in one of his team's few trips of the year out of Melbourne, Collingwood coach Craig McRae

is now talking up the 'noise of affirmation' and the home ground advantage they get from the MCG.

Funny that.

Magpies’ home ground advantage. It’s enough to make McRae smile

Last week Collingwood coach Craig McRae was criticised for blaming an away crowd for the Magpies’ narrow loss. Turns out he was probably right after Collingwood sink Brisbane by a point.

Honestly, I'd probably rather play Sydney at the SCG in a qualifying final than GWS at Adelaide Oval.

 

[Greasyrhys]

Goodnight colollingwood

 

[scotty13]

North are uncompetitive without sheezel , not saying there good but 1 win a year bad

North aren't too bad...

If you take their wins from the last 5seasons and put them into this year, they would be second on the ladder (potential to drop to 4th next week).

So would I. I'd almost rather play away vs anyone in a QF. We shit the bed at home.

 

[Grave Danger]

Freo fans didn't want to cheer for the Weagles anyway...

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Carlton's VFL team is making a mess of Schoey's audition.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

You sure? Carlton will be struggling to win today in Perth.
They have zero up forward.

78 v 23 at 3/4 time suggests yes.

They will probably be done before our games starts.

PowerLil loves this!

 

[gbear]

Collingwood not making the 8 = priceless

 

[Fizzler]

Was tossing up whether I should tip Carlton or West Coast, thought surely Carlton can’t **** this up? Then I remembered Schofield is coaching the Eagles, and as we know, In Schoey We Trust. If he somehow doesn’t get the full time gig, I wonder if he’d be interested in a return to a post-Hinkley Port Adelaide.

Yeah nah **** these useless campaigners

 

[Portmagpies36]

Carlton's VFL team is making a mess of Schoey's audition.

Eagles 1 goal 5 behinds since quarter time against half a VFL side is unbelievable. They really don’t give a shit those West Coast players. Hard to believe the West Coast were favourites.

Perhaps they want to make sure freo don’t make finals

The fight West Coast are showing today they won’t get within 100 points of Geelong.

 

[davesnothere]

There's no teaching Ashton Moir.

 

[Portmagpies36]

Perhaps they want to make sure freo don’t make finals

So Fremantle need to beat us next week and rely on Hawthorn, Carlton or the Bulldogs losing. Hopefully that will motivate the Bulldogs to beat the Giants. Hawthorn will beat North and Carlton should beat St Kilda.

 

[Visenfest]

If Hawks, Bulldogs and Blues win next weekend, top 2 will already be sewn up when our game starts, and Freo will be out of contention for finals.

 

[pastmyprimus]

So West Coast decided to start mad Monday early

78 v 23 at 3/4 time suggests yes.

Never seen that coming, this won’t help Schofield’s chances.
Very poor performance.
