I guess i'd be looking forward to a final against port about as much as I was looking forward to playing them in the last showdown.

Seriously why bother with this thread to be honest they do not deserve to play finals this year they can hardly string together two wins in a row seriously whoever made this thread you must be kidding. I will always remain a crows fan because i strongly feel like big changes are going to be made at the end of this year so their is definitely no need to leave now.
We are better off returning in 2015 and come out and unexpectadly rise i think its a simple as that with a few good recruits because in reality our team is pretty good but they need to harden up and sando needs to change the gamestyle make it exciting to watch would be a start and less predictable.

I don't actually think there's any chance we'll make it at all.
Even more so we simply don't deserve to be there. We don't deserve to be rewarded for the shit we've pulled.

Yep. We need to keep the Saints to a VERY low score and kick a motza for us
Unless of course, GC do us a massive favour and beat the Eagles...... And they played alright yesterday! ( i watched the end after our game)
Then we just need the Tiges and Pies to lose........ Yeah, a lot needs to happen for us to make it
Would a finals shellacking at the hands of our enemies produce more change than just missing the 8?

It would probably ruin my life.
And I don't see why it would produce any more change. Isnt that why we're built to be 'hijack' proof from any pesky rivals?
Roo is there to chew gum and kick some ass....... But i'm quite sure he's all outta gum!

West Coast are favourites and it isn't close. Maths clearly isn't your strong suit. A 70-80 point win for us isn't even close to enough if West Coast get up by around 20-30 like everyone assumes they will.

How the hell can we be favorites when it is out of our control
Hawks need to beat Pies - highly likely
Swans need to beat Richmond, likely but not a dead certainty
GC need to beat WCE, unlikely but not without a good chance

all the teams vying for eighth are undeserving. Even Richmond
This will be the year that 8th makes the GF, which will be used to suggest that we're not that far off being a serious contender.

Hey guys, your team seems to be the flavour of the month on our board, below is a quote from one of our threads, should explain things clearly for everyone in regards to the final round. Full credit to Quinz for doing the maths

Gold Coast will have a shot after the siren and miss. It'll be about quarter time at our game where we're told we need a big win against the Saints to get over the line for 8th.
"Anything can happen from 8th," Sando says with a half smile and a wink.
We're pumped up. 20 points up at quarter time already, what's another 80 by the end of the match? A blistering second quarter sees us lead by 60. It's all going to plan and the Saints are rattled. We sing the team song at half time just so we get the pitch right when the cameras are on us later. Everyone's passing around mints and laughing.
Then we fail to show up in the third quarter. Literally we don't even show up on the field. The umpires shrug and St Kilda take the ball uncontested I50 and miss 30 times in a row before we come out onto the field. By then the damage is done.
"We've got the best forward line in the league, boys. We can do this." He's not smiling anymore, but he's still confident.
We come out in the last quarter and dominate! We're in front by 99 and the ball is flying I50. Pods takes a mark and the siren blows. He's 20m out dead in front and the crowd is waving their hands wildly. They all have calculators out. The oval officials were giving them out as part of a "mathematical chance" marketing package. Kick this and we're into the finals!
He elects to go the banana for some reason and it thunders into the post.
"Pods wasn't to blame," Sando says at the end of the game. "It was the weather."

Oh, I imagine they already have their excuses ready.
We are a young side, playing away from home is a challenge for a young side. We will get better
Add Lynch and Otten and we are not that far away.
We win the Carlton, Melbourne and Essendon and we are top 6.
We won't need to make major changed and we will roll the dice with this group again. Pods will play again.
I know what you're trying to do, but no
Lets hope for a rain filled slog fest on the GC next week then!

Well then, perhaps it can be used to support our strategy of building a list that perpetually gives us a chance of making the 8. The final proof that if you make the 8, anything can happen. We'll be able to hear the "aha, I told you so", all the way from lygon st.
Cant we still end up 11th.
Yeah I worked this out earlier.. It's basically whatever West Coast win by if they do win, Adelaide need to win by about 80 points more than that WC margin.. (if the other results fall as most think they will)
If we beat St Kilda, Hawks beat Pies, West Coast beat Gold Coast and Sydney beat Richmond, we will end up 9th.. West Coast will be 8th unless we make up that 80 point margin difference to sneak into 8th..
Highly likely we will be 9th, perfect spot to finish <sarcasm>
