The race for top 4

[JHF1870]

Ok, so you are backtracking on your prediction we are going to miss the top 4 now. If we get five more wins, the midrange of your predicted number of wins for us, we end up on 15 wins, which puts us right in the race for the top 4.

Mate. I said I think you would get 3. Predictions vary. I think two games I gave you as a loss could easily be a win on a good day. I just dint think Sydney are that good

You said we would get 3 wins, then said you had a +/-2 margin for error on that prediction, then said we were likely to get 3 to 7 wins... anyway, I suspect we will outperform your expectations.

Yes - we spend hours in a plane sore

We meet giants at home

And collingwood at a venue we havnt beaten them at in over 20 years.

We meet bulldogs at home who id back us to beat at etihad

Then north in north antarctica. Where again we have a shit record.

Then the shockers - at home

Then port - another team challenging for top 4 - away

Melbourne at home

Lions at the gabba


Theres two games there where i go thank f we have a hga. Theres three where the opposition have a hga that should be enough to get them over the line. Theres one at home id rate us to win away. Theres one away that we should win easily. Then theres the shockers.

And around 15000 air km.

But yeah tell me more about how hard it is to play collingwood at the ground you share compared to beating them after flying over the other side of the country.

We should move Perth closer to everyone

We should move Perth closer to everyone

It would only be fair for the comp really. Maybe we should all share the same home ground so there is no advantage to anyone, and maybe all clubs should live close to each other so no-one has to travel too far.

Maybe some clubs should accept what they entered into too.

 

[PieLebo87]

Predicting the future is generally fairly unreliable.

That’s insightful.

 

[Eddie Van Halen]

You were shit for 32 years and didn’t touch what we’re doing right now. You are second to us. Enjoy it, literally.

You had the Colliwobbles longer than we did!

Nah dude - noone wants to be cold

In reply to a poster suggesting that we get it easy because of hga - i point out that we are equally disadvantaged by away games and flying.

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

Thats premature. Any side with Ablett, Danger and Selwood must be a shoein for finals glory

Just needed to get one in its been 9 years since we last beat them!

Talk about revisionism - you suggested you were disadvantaged, to which I pointed out we are equally disadvantaged

Not to be smug, but Sydney aren't good enough to make top 4. They're playing a very negative style of footy that is NOT working. I've noticed several teams playing this game where they clog up the opposition 50 and rely on transition goals.

11:1 to 14:9 (12 to 23)
9:5 to 8:23 (14 to 31)

You cannot expect to win games of footy if you're getting hitting the scoreboard 50% of your opponent.

Sydney now have:
North AWAY, will be a tough game, and North beat you in the first game. (North favorites) I'd expect North to win.
Suns, you'd say win
Essendon AWAY, tough game and I can't see Essendon losing at home
Collingwood HOME, Tough game and Pies in hot form
GWS AWAY, tough game
Melbourne AWAY, tough game
Hawthorn Home, play well against them.

You have ONE sure game.

I don't see you winning any away games, or Collingwood.

Can see you winning against Hawks, and GWS + Gold Coast. If you're lucky you might steal one more.

13-14 wins max, and that does not make top 4.

We will see. This week was not a good showing, and we seem to have come out of it with a bunch of injury concerns on top of that. You may be right.

I saw the writing on the wall last week. Sydney ALWAYS play a competitive style of footy but I can't see it working this season. Interestingly we did exactly the same as Sydney against Melbourne and it paid off, but I was surprized.

 

[Bollox]

WE SUCK

 

[Gavin Excell]

Port looking more and more a show for top 4. Second place and a crucial first final in the mix too

 

[Snake_Baker]

WE SUCK

The removal of the COLA is starting to impact, and it's hard to see how the Swans won't tail off in the short term, with a few senior players ready to retire.

Welcome to the level playing field (well, with the exception of the Swans academy advantages).

If that’s the strangest thing you took out of it, you need your eyes tested.























It’s got Carlton moving up to 13th........

More the impact of a 2 year trade ban for not breaking any rules.
This essentially stopped us recruiting the mid-tier players we had in the past and forced us into the draft and developing via the NEAFL ranks.
Not all doom and gloom as we have arguably the best record of finding good players via the Rookie Draft and some pearlers coming along nicely ATM

What we need is an injection in the midfield as thats where the signs of wear are currently being felt.
Heeny, Mills, Parker, Jones, Florent and Hewitt is a decent base but another 2-3 decent to rotate through including a sizeable bull to replace Kennedy are a must this off season.

 

[Kummerspeck]

No it isn't Teffy. Spare everyone your shit-tier analysis.

 

[zacaxel1975]

I think the top 4 will be

Tigers
Sydney
GWS
North Melbourne

You're ****ing cooked.

 

[Lions_Prid3]

Tigers to destroy Port in the grand final. Port easy run home and on their day are the best of a pretty average bunch. They'll finish top 2, get 2 finals at AO before getting Mauled by Richmond at the G. Then it's curtains for 2018 and the start of a new era.

Collingwood in there surely

 

[roacheee]

Collingwood are bigger then Richmond. Collingwood’s peak as proven is bigger then Richmond. Enjoy being second to Collingwood
