haha, shit. you're right
my bad.sleepy eyes are failing me.
good call. i shall bow out now.
epic failz by me
Yep 5 a piece, but 5 out of the last 6 to the dogs. Last game probably ok guide but in Vic is a different proposition, that's if you beat Carlton and we lose to Collingwood

Where have i said we are going to make the GF. Just pointing out on current form we should beat the blues and the dogs and that would give us the best of the 2 prelims.
Im under no illusions it will be hard to beat these two teams.
But considering the make up of the eight, Saints win tonight has made our (and carlton and the dogs) draw favourable. To the point where it may even be beneficial for the dogs or the pies for that matter to lose this weekend.
It only takes a team to have a bad week and they may find themselves out of the finals, no matter where you finished. The week off can be quickly deamed pointless if in the next week you loose a player early. Suddenly due to your limit on the rotations possible and the fact that your oponents (most likely) have a full bench you will be looking at being quickly behind the 8 ball.
I just think back to 2008 and it was FACT that no one was going to beat Geelong and that the flag was as good as won. Well we all know what happened next.
My bet is that this year will be an unexpected final series. I think the Grand Final will be made up of either Sydney, Dogs, Hawks or Saints. Just got that feeling. We all know Pies are due for there anual prelim loss so they are allready out of contention
There is no right side of the draw, it's September.

It's only the 'right side of the draw' because teams like Sydney are on it.
Sydney's record in Melbourne (MCG especially) is dismal. Even if they do get over Carlton up there (unlikely considering they can't play at ANZ either), they'll get smashed by whoever they run into in week 2.

Threads like these could look really dumb in 36 hrs time.

Yeah, you must have loved going in favourites against us in '05
Silly thread though. Let's just deal with Carlton for now.
This is something that is in the back of the thoughts of all Swans and Blues fans.
Yes, if we win we'd rather meet the Dogs than the Cats next week. But just getting on a win on Sunday will suffice for now and it is hardly missin accomplished.

Really?? You're taking a leaf out of the Carlton Flog's Multi-Purpose Grossly Overrating Handbook?
There are 3 sides this year. The Saints, the Cats, the Pies.
I'm willing to be proven wrong if Hawthorn can do something really special.
Other than that...
Sydney - Horrible at the 'G.
Carlton - Horrible.

Best of the eliminations finals this weekend, Swans vs Blues.
I can see the Swans getting to the prelims, probably not beating the Saints though. They're hardened and hungry on the back of last years loss.
Swans have exceeded all expectation for this year, kudos to them

Richmond finished.
This happens every year. The winners of the EF are always talked up too much and are expected to beat the losers from the QF. Geelong and the Dogs/Pies could have easy wins next week.
He speaks the truth. Hawthorn is the only team that could do any damage. Sydney and Carlton are just playing for a semi final loss tomorrow.
Hawthorn could lose.
They could but then we would see a top 4 from home and away season playing off in the preliminary finals. Collingwood, Dogs and Saints will play prelims and if Hawks lose today so will Geelong.
Doggies are vulnerable ,Fremantle on there day can cause some damage but Eagles fans wont accept this.
