Will we make finals?

[ossie_21]

I’d rather finish 10th or lower, 9th would be a ****ing disaster

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Perfectly set up for us to be needing a win in the last round to make the finals, just to shit the bed and get smashed by Hawthorn in Tasmania.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

They will find a way to win one more game.

The incentive to play finals is something they will use

They would be favourites against Collingwood in the last round but its hard to see them winning either of the next two.

Agree but against Brisbane they are a chance even at the Gabba. Not a fan of Lions they are fragile look at today 42 up and they lose.

They are like us but in the 8 can’t be trusted

They will go close to Pies especially if a finals place is on the line

Reality is we have been disappointing this year and our destiny is out of our hands and that the price you pay

 

[ossie_21]

Nauseating that it will be between Geelong & Melbourne this year, probably even be the grand final

Geelong all day if that’s the choice.

Melbourne for me, there one good year in comparison to 19 years of pain Geelong rains down on our club. The only satisfaction I get is watching Geelong make finals every year, and lose, courtesy of games on their training ground against Doggies, Saints, North Melbourne. They get the biggest leg up in the competition. I hope we get back our losses to Geelong, by making Mars a fortress.

I would laugh if Carlton missed out on the finals

I think the finals chance is gone with the Tigers beating the Lions today I am find mind missing the eight if it means our WHOLE football department gets a review at the end of this season

Start the review tomorrow 8 am so you get a head start

Can't wait till we beat freo and GWS then blow a lead against Hawthorn in tassie to miss out on finals by percentage.

Carlton $1.14
Richmond $1.91
Dogs $2
Saints $4.5

Suspect Richmond win out from here so our only hope is to win all three and Carlton shit the bed.

Assuming we win all 3 and Carlton win 1 more may come down to percentage?

I think that’s the case as we both finish on 52

Need to win and win big at least one game

Never go the early crow

Cool story captain hindsight

Bahaha cmon Doggy, you went the early crow to back up your weirdly overly aggressive downplaying of Richmond’s chances & got caught out just own it my bro

I said they won’t win all 4 and I stand by that. No Grimes now hurts as well.

I thought they’d have a good chance of knocking over Brisbane because they’re shit away from home, especially at the MCG which I have always said. I think the win says more about Brisbane than Richmond.

I still feel Port will beat them, whether port is playing for finals or not

 

[Optimistic Dog]

We beat the dees to tease us into thinking we can make a challenge. The truth is we are nowhere near it. The cats just killed us when they got serious, the swans smashed us and the lions beat us easy. Yes we are chance to make the 8 but would you trust us to win 3 games. If we make it depending who we play we may even win one final but we are long way off challenging for a flag this season.

Defensive structure is unfixable this year. It's done.

We need to win 7 games in a row to win a premiership. It's simply unachievable that our midfield completely dominates the next 7 games in a row to get us across the line in every game.

Not so much that the midfield have to be completely dominant but more that they have to be able to resist being completely dominated for a period long enough to lose the game (like a quarter). That's achievable if they find the resolve. Us dominating completely would be nice though.

Richmond doesn't lose from here.
Season done

We’ll know for sure after this weekend. If we beat Freo, Richmond beat Port and Carlton lose to Brisbane, we’ll still be a decent chance to make it.

Richmond lost Grimes as well. Doesn't look too good.

Still think Port is a good shot

 

[X_box_X]

Hawks won't be easy beats for both Richmond and us. Hawks finished last year very strongly, where they defeated us, Brisbane and drew against Melbourne and Richmond. They were on a three game win streak before they went down to the Saints in a close one at the weekend.

Yeah Grimes is a big out.

I’d feel a lot better about it had Port won on the weekend to give them something to play for. They’ve been good without winning though so it should be tight
