Why even go there?

Norf shouldn't have been in either of those games anyway. The Richmond one is possibly a better example.

Regardless the point remains

Just making the point that we're very delicately balanced right where we should be. I'm not sure there's much of a case for us deserving a better record than what we have is all.

Didn't say we did. The point was what could have been not what was deserved. We didn't deserve to beat wet toast here..maybe in perth but not here .. i think the umpiring was poorly in their favour both times.

But we deserved to beat the plastics

Still probably our best game of the year. Couldn't finish our work though.

I fear we only beat Brisbane by less than 40. Lose to the plastics and just get over the line against Port then lose to the hawks. Percentage kills us.

I really really hope I'm wrong.

Plastics are shit in Melbourne.. saints killed them ffs. If we are genuine we beat them and beat them well enough.

We'd be in the 8 then by the time we play port.. they just can't beat top 8 sides

If you think about how lucky GWS have been they probably don't deserve to be playing finals to be honest. We definitely should have won that game and were clearly the better team, they have had two lucky draws, they should have lost to Richmond as well, and were probably lucky to get out of jail against Freo on the weekend as well. They lose all those games and they are down with Collingwood. They lose only a couple and they are out of the eight. So they are not exactly a great performing Top 4 team. I wouldn't mind facing them again in the Finals actually.

I'd love this to be the way, I was pretty jolly yesterday after a few ales, I put $50 on us winning the flag again. My optimism changes with the wind.

That's because your a bloody Scotsman! Your optimism should be based on the chance of rain, not direction of the wind!

:p
 
Zero faith. Except for hawthorn we seem to have better form than our other opponents

Nah its not about faith. The question was will we play finals and my answer was and still is no, i dont think we will. If we do scrape in then the other 7 sides will be shitting themselves, but I dont think we will. We have 4 tough games. Brisbane are 18th but our bogey side and GWS, Port and Hawthorn are all going to be tough. Realistically with a weak percentage we need to win 4/4 and I don't think we can.

Well wide of the mark. We need 3. Should beat Brisbane, GWS is horribly out od form and crap in melbourne. Port.. meh
 
Well, we are alive again after our greatest victory of the year yesterday. 3 out of the last 4 wins should get us in I think. Would love to get another Melbourne final!
 
What made you go for Tigers over Hawks as better result. I think potentially the opposite is better. Hawks are still behind us and while Tigers have 12 wins already their draw is tough. Lose to the Hawks then they have Cats at Simonds, Dockers away and Saints. They are a smokey to get the wobbles and potentially open up another spot.
I dont think i could get up of the floor laughing if Richmond somehow finished 9th from here.
