I'd rather finish fourth than third this year
It’s looking the better position.
If freo lose today. Then we win out. We are a lock for top 4. Give us something essendon ffs.
If you finish 3rd/4th, you'd probably rather the hardest opponent in week 1 while you've got the second chance.I'd rather finish fourth than third this year
I’d rather finish higher and beat Brisbane.I'd rather finish fourth than third this year
Recent history has shown you don’t need a loss.Completed ladder predictor…
Win our last 3 and we’re a realistic chance to finish 3rd. 4th at worst.
Lose 1 and I can’t see us finishing lower than 6th.
I’d cop a loss leading in to finals. Going in 7-0 with 3 to 4 more games to win makes me nervous.

Don’t forget Sydney being unfairly treated by umpires too DWDare I say it, but injuries to any of those clubs in the hunt for the finals could be a big factor that will upset many of the ladder predictor forecasts.
For instance ...
Poor old Sydney's having a shocking run with injuries at the moment and it's the only reason we scraped over the line against them yesterday in a result that few would have predicted.
Thank goodness we haven't had any injury worries all year.
Would be nice to be playing for top 4 instead of 8thWin our next two and we’re likely locked in the top 8 and potentially playing for top 4 in the last round. Huge chance in front of us now.
Hawks are already our bogey side….Hawks, Lions are the two teams I want to avoid in the finals if possible. I said last year I feel the Hawks could become our next bogey side, and I still stand by it. Lions are in hot form like us, have had impressive wins away vs us and Port, and topped Sydney. But in between have been one or two goal wins vs ordinary teams. So still hard to get a finger on how good exactly. Obviously the less teams that match up well on us, the better. Hawks will need an upset win vs Giants away or the Blues to sneak in.
And when we played Bris, we were missing Most of our forward line IIRCSurely we are not worried about Brisbane. They have no second or third tall defenders.
Lucky to beat Sydney when they had only 2 on the the bench couple of weeks ago.
Port and Hawks have the midfields that I would be worried about.
Remember we lost Naughts very early in that game and also lost JODI just want to avoid Port
I think at this stage we just have to keep focus on winning and let the other results happen around us. We probably won't know what we're playing for until the final round.
Its strange being three rounds away from the end of the season and not knowing whether you'll end up 3rd or 10th.
No. If Freo lose today and then win out we’ll still be behind them
We got there in the end.True. And if Freo loses today it means we will jump the loser of the Rd 24 match between Freo and Port. If we win out.
Great season to have a strong % in, given how even the W-L is for so many teams in the 8.
No L Jones and Cody too. But our mids got smashed. PA are perennial final no-shows - and it would be good to shut Chad’s brother up…..again!Remember we lost Naughts very early in that game and also lost JOD
Lots went against….im not afraid of them…massive front runners
Plenty of examples.Recent history has shown you don’t need a loss.
Geelong 2022 - 16-0 to finish the season.
Melbourne 2021 - 8-0 to finish the season.
We would have to go 10-0 if we want to win a flag from here but this shows it’s not the worst thing.
Not quite yet. Bogey really means haven't beaten them for a few games stretch over a small handful of years, not talking about forever across history. Currently they are only on a two game winning streak. But if they with the next 3 or 4. Or we only manage to beat them once in like 10 games, then definitely.Hawks are already our bogey side….
