Just win like you said.Obviously just win.
Though there is a small chance we could have a spot already secured before the bounce if the Roos upset the Hawks.
Either way, if we lose to the Giants. It will be a veryyyy long Sunday as a fan. Have to watch the next two matches to see if the result goes in our favor. A long 9 hours worth of football.
It would be brutal if we lost and freo won for us to miss.
13 wins and a % of 124 should really be enough.
After watching THOSE Eagles, who also have an absolutely appalling record at Alphabet Stadium, I think Geelongs VFL team would beat them by 100 points.After watching the Eagles today, Geelong will beat them by 100 points
Not many years that you get three dreadful teams though.It would be brutal if we lost and freo won for us to miss.

That’s what happens when you butcher the first half of the seasonDespite the excellent form the last couple of months, its just mind boggling this team has to beat the 3rd place side to secure a top 8 spot.
Our win over North was so large, that it actually means that we jump Brisbane on percentage on the rare case if they get another draw vs Essendon and we win. Obviously any given game being a draw is highly unlikely, but at least we put another minor permutation to our advantage.I, for some unknown reason, can see Essendon playing out of their skins against an innacurate Brisbane. And can also see St Kilda beating Carlton. Which, with a win against GWS, would potentially give us a home final at the 'G against Freo.
But I didn't factor in that Hawthorn would then almost certainly be hosting Brisbane at the 'G in that scenario.
In which case as the second Melbourne based game, and with a 55,000 "expected crowd" threshold, we'd probably be a 50/50 chance to play them at Marvel. Compared to being forced to play Adelaide at the 'G in 2015, would things play out differently this time with the conflict of interest around the AFL owning the stadium?
Brissy losing, Freo winning and the Saints winning would result in us v.

We could draw GWS or GC and the AFL would still make us play at the MCG.I, for some unknown reason, can see Essendon playing out of their skins against an innacurate Brisbane.

Especially if it's the only game in Melbourne, for the week, because you'd have MCC and AFL members going as neutrals (as well as just other neutrals) going to bump up the crowd.We could draw GWS or GC and the AFL would still make us play at the MCG.
Carlton would also need beat the Saints. In saying that I think there is at least a 30% chance we don't make the eight. GWS game is like a final.
Last year coming into R24 we had to win (tick) and then rely on Carlton beating GWS (cross) to make finals.
This year we have to beat GWS or hope that Carlton (or Freo) lose.
That's an odd symmetry.
If you think there’s a 30% chance (or thereabouts) then you can get around $8 that we don’t make it which is closer to 12%. I’m not advocating gambling but I’m on at $6 and $8 that we miss, to soften the blow and pay for my Belgian beer and Woodford Reserve binge on Sunday night……
