Our draw is easier than Port's. I'd rather play Adelaide in Adelaide than the Dogs in Ballarat. I wouldn't have thought Collingwood would be easy beats for Port either, although Collingwood will be missing Grundy.
I think we'll finish 4th. I reckon Geelong might lose the next three without Duckwood. And I think we'll win all three.

Maybe it's just me but I still don't rate the Dogs that much now Easton Wood is at least out for the rest of the home and away year which complicates things. Think Port beat the Dogs, but I agree on the Pies game, that's their hardest game.
I have us winning all 3 as well. Just a question how many Geelong win. This week is the interesting one. I have them dropping it to the Tigers as well, but I'm wary of Geelong's record against Richmond.

Cripps out means we can lock down on Gibbs. More concerned this week than Carlton
Fascinating how that game is going to go they bullied us way back in round 6 feels like a season ago now.
Not convinced on Port against Pies or Dogs
Don't like Cats against GWS and not convinced vs Tigers and even Pies
Dreaming of winning all 3 remaining games and pinching a top 4 spot
Hopefully Pies take some scalps for us.

That was our lowest point. I hope we bury Carlton to make a statement and give a little payback for Mills.
I can't wait for the Adelaide game. It's going to epic.

Can still make top for 4 if we win out.
Richmond are bound to Richmond at some stage. They have Geelong at Skilled, Freo at Domain and they've already lost to them this year, then play Saints at the G and they flogged the Tigers not that long ago and could be playing for 8th spot.
Only need Port to lose one game.
Geelong have a tough run with Tigers, Collingwood who have the Cats number and then GWS.
Even GWS have Dogs in Melbourne, West Coast and Geelong in Melbourne which is not an easy run.
Very possible.

If we do make top 4 that would be just an unbelievable achievement. We'll already be setting a record as no team who started 0 - 5 has made finals and we started 0 - 6. What a turnaround.

Think it'll end up like Round 23 last year tbh
The bolded seems unlikely. I watched their game against North Melbourne on the weekend and it was a horribly low level of football. To start with it was comical, but I turned it off midway through the third quarter because it was so poor it was just unwatchable. I can't see them winning again this year.

That was during a really bad period where we had lots of injuries and had senior players who were not performing. We were playing like a disinterested bunch. They were also playing well then, they aren't now and we are playing well now.

You are so right about that match. It was the worst game of footy I have seen in a millennium. Dreadful, even worse than the game against grant Thomas' Saints where only about 10 goals were kicked by both them & us. Collingwood match up on some sides well but true class will beat them every time. They have very shallow depth and it shows in the scrappy, low skilled footy they play.

I think it is going to be difficult to make top four. The Cats only have to win one match to retain a top four spot. We need them to lose all three matches to make the top four. I can't see this happening. They play Pies after all. This is how I think it will finish;
1. Crows
2. GWS
3. Tigers
4. Cats
5. Swans
6. Dees
7. Bombers
8. Bulldogs
The Bombers have only one hard game if you discount Freo. I think the Bullies will be lucky to make the top eight but will just sneak in with one win out of their last three. It is a toss up for second and third. The AFL would be praying that Tigers get into second as that would mean a final at the G not at Spotless where the revenue would be minimal. Mind you GWS will play a final at Spotless anyway but I'm sure the AFL would be hoping only one final is played there. ANZ is not an option as it is now configured for the round ball game & the Bum sniffers.

That would be nice
I'd love a crack at Adelaide away 1st week of the finals. They'd have all the pressure on them after finishing on top and we play the ground really well.

There is no excuse for losing to Carlton.
It's like the seniors losing to the NEAFL side.
The team we had out that day would of struggled to beat a AFL side.
Average age - 24y 4months
less than 50 games 11 players
Average games experience 82.7
It featured James Rose, Brandon Jack, Daniel Robinson and Jeremy Laidler, Reid and Sinclair were our 2 rucks.

Yeah the defence was reduced to just Lloyd, Mills, Grundy, Melican, Smith, Newman and Jones. IE our entire 1st choice defence minus Rampe.
Sinclair was playing, who is apparently our best ruckman. The midfield was playing, plus Parker and Hannebery and Heeney and Cunningham and Hewett.
The forward line had Franklin, Reid, Papley, and Hayward - all of our top 4 goalscorers for the year. And our #5 goalscorer, Rohan, played more than half the match.

It was tongue firmly in cheek mate. Please don't let me stop you (I'm changing back to Millsy at some point too).
