WOW, good to see our supporters haven't got caught up in media click-bait crap.Magpies win - Pies certainties for the flag beating the 2nd placed team with their VFL side, Lions no hope for the flag.
Lions win - Meh they only beat a VFL Pies side, still have to prove themselves.

You got it in a nutshell. This bullshit if we don't win we can't win the premiership is just media trash.
We are in the four. The finals are a re-start.
All that is required tonight is rehersal for the real thing.
The rest will take care of itself in September.
We won threepeat for fook sake without realy dominating the home and away season.
We should not lose sight that September is our focus not a home and away match.
It would be nice to win but it's not the be all.
I don't think we're necessarily out of it if we lose tonight .
I totally agree.This is our first final.
There are more instances of teams being written off without their stars and winning that I've had hot dinners. The players who come in have a lot to prove.Further to the above re: Collingwood’s “Outs." Moore, Daicos, DeGoey etc...
My mind is a bit foggy now but I seem to remember a similar game during our era when we had significant numbers of our quality players out due to injury, suspensions etc... and the media and supporters pretty much wrote us off the same as they seem to write Collingwood off and placed enormous pressure on the opposition to win. They said Brisbane can't win they are missing their stars etc...etc…
We come out and smashed them (sorry can't remember the other team)
Akka after the game summed it up in one sentence. "Everyone was so focused on who we were missing, they forgot to look who we had in."
So let's not forget the Pies are a quality team irespective that they have a few out. Fly will remember the Brisbane era. He will remind his players I am sure.
Great post. Agree 100%.Further to the above re: Collingwood’s “Outs." Moore, Daicos, DeGoey etc...

Have to agree. Totally experienced side in the premiership window and all but seals top 2. As others have noted we have had opportunities to close the gap v melb and gc and we failed. This though is the first game in the second half of this season where you say win = top 2. In fact that’s true of any game since 2020.Damo claiming this is the biggest home and away game of Fagans tenure as coach.
Given what's at stake, it certainly doesn't feel far off.
As an aside on that graphic, unless they win a game over the final 2 rounds of the season the Kangaroos and Eagles will have gone through 2 full seasons with 4 wins each, it's been a horror show.We have an extra game this year but going into this round 23 is just as important as the last round of 2022.
In 2022 Geelong was top two game clear of 4 teams Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane & Collingwood.
Important causalities from that last round in 2022.
Lions dropped from 4th to 6th, Sydney from 2nd to 3rd, and Carlton dropped out of the finals from 8th to 9th.
Clubs that improved position Melbourne 3rd to 2nd. Pies moved into top 4, Dockers 6th to 5th and Dogs scrapped into 8th position by 0.55%
A win tonight would be excellent and would guarantee a great crowd attendance for the last game v Saints.
To win away is always hard but let's hope the boys are up for tonights challenge.

Felt pretty dismal at the time.As an aside on that graphic, unless they win a game over the final 2 rounds of the season the Kangaroos and Eagles will have gone through 2 full seasons with 4 wins each, it's been a horror show.
Even in our Leppa years we didn't string together 2 such dismal seasons.
In the old days they would be getting a nice early priority pick eg 1 and 3 for last and 2 and 4 for second last and the next team would get 5 instead of 3 etc.As an aside on that graphic, unless they win a game over the final 2 rounds of the season the Kangaroos and Eagles will have gone through 2 full seasons with 4 wins each, it's been a horror show.

Eagles play Dogs & Crows so unlikely they win one of those.As an aside on that graphic, unless they win a game over the final 2 rounds of the season the Kangaroos and Eagles will have gone through 2 full seasons with 4 wins each, it's been a horror show.

The fact it’s Tom Browne tweeting it means they want this information to be known.Tom Browne again. Just feel like the more outs they have the more disappointing it will be if we lose. Maybe that’s their plan. Psyche us out before finals.
