Wadda We Sing 10,685 Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 North can pinch 7th spot from us if they beat Port by enough but im not sure what that margin is.....anyone??
Sir Why You Little 37,450 Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 Let's see if we can beat a broken & tired Footscray at Etihad first. On paper & form we should win, But it is on foriegn soil. This year i think i am more interested in winning away from the 'G than beating actual teams. Once the ground Hoo Doo's are gone, it will not matter who we play..Look at Wet Coke today, absolutely no intimidation against the Blues. To come back after being challenged in the 3rd Q was an incredible performance. The MFC must reach that level.
Wadda We Sing 10,685 Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 No. They will go to 24 points. We're on 26. Cheers 45 should have double checked!!
Old Gregg 1 Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 My ladder predictor had us in 8th, somehow 10 points clear of Essendon in 9th...West Coast to snatch 4th, then Carlton, Sydney, and North in that order. Essendon and Freo are looking very, very shaky - only had them winning 2-3 more games for the year.
mrtwister 652 Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 Jason Dunstall picked us for 7th spot today on MMM. 11.5 wins, Kangaroos in 8th with 11 wins. Also seemed to think that if we win at Etihad on Friday then Bailey is golden.

titan_uranus 25,252 Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 I would much prefer to play carlton than WC in perth Wouldn't we all. West Coast are legimitate this year. They have the bye this week, then Friday night football against Geelong in Perth. That will be a corker. Should be interesting to see how they shape up against the ladder-leaders at home. I reckon they can do it, especially if Geelong are still missing some of their stars.

Depends on which WC turns up. The one that struggled to beat GC and Port, or the one that beat the dogs by 20 goals and knocked off Carlton today.
Deemort 28 Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 Just wait for us to lose to Hawthorn, Geelong and Carlton. That will send someone like North, Richmond or St Kilda over us. What I'm saying is being in the eight right now means jack-shite. Lose to Hawks, Cats and Blues and we will still finish 7th or 8th, as long as we beat the teams below us. As nice as it would be to make finals, I have us playing Sydney or West Coast away so we'd be straight out. I'd take the swans by choice though.
Dappa Dan 2,188 Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 We've actually not yet proven we've improved. We have a MUCH easier draw... and at the moment are 2 wins away from last years total. Not forgetting we have 2 easy wins pencilled in this year we didn't have last year in the GC games. I think 10-1-11 would be on par with last year, and 11-1-10 will beat it, and also will get us a finals berth and a peaceful off season. So to get that we're going to have to beat Dogs and Port in the next 3 weeks... then brace for the month of hell where we won't snaffle a win... Then hold fast for the last 3 weeks where we'll need to do what we did 5-6 years ago and win every game to make it. We can do it, but pinching one off one of West Coast, Carlton, Geelong and Hawthorn would make it a HUGE chance.
H_T 3,049 Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 Jason Dunstall picked us for 7th spot today on MMM. 11.5 wins, Kangaroos in 8th with 11 wins. Also seemed to think that if we win at Etihad on Friday then Bailey is golden. After the Queen's Birthday match, Dunstall also tipped Richmond to beat us twice in the remaining games.... Everyone has their opinion....each and every week.
digby wolf 1 Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 OK so we have had an up and down year but I for one am pretty happy to be sitting on 4.5 wins 5.5 losses The side has shown what they can do even missing 5 of their best 22 It's time to put our eye back on the original goal Coll - mark it down as a loss but it has to be acknowledged we step up against them and we have some form and confidence Freo at the G - win Rich - win Dogs at ES - should win port at Darwin - should win Hawks - loss Cats - loss Carlton - loss Eagles at ES - should win rich - win GC -win Port at aami - probably lose for mine that puts us on 11.5 wins and 8th spot We'll do better than the 8, we'll win the Grand Final !
drdrake 3,203 Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 The next two games are must wins to have any chance, if we lose against the Dogs or Power we have little chance of making the final 8. Win both and we only need 3 wins from our final 7 matches.
Samsara 65 Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 Pretty simple really, if we keep winning games we will play finals. If we start losing again, then our chances will drop. If we don't knock of at least one of Carl, Geel, Hawks, or Eagles, then we shouldn't play finals. Whats the point if you cannot beat the teams that will be playing finals anyway?
