Finals 2016

[hells bells 2,023]

Geary out for the Saints now.  Very important to their side. 

[Diamond_Jim 12,567]

I just did some calculations on what is required by us to make up 6 percentage points on North.

Not impossible but it requires some big wins and then decent losses (50 plus points) by North

Wish I had not done that... I was mildly excited for a while

So you're saying we're a chance…?

Always a chance mate but it did not look good

Better than it looked this time last year though right? We really needed Hawthorn to carry their 1st quarter form through the entire game today.

it's now < 100 points spread over 5 games which is better per game than yesterday

Dees must beat Carlton by 10 goals next week.

Swans must beat Kangas by 5 or more goals. Then it gets interesting.

[MrBurns 36]

Beep....Beep...Beep...Beep, beep, beep, beep.

The dream is alive

[Diamond_Jim 12,567]

a 40 point win in a relatively low scoring game was definitely a plus

The Dream is alive........... YEAH !!

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Another week of looking forward to a game with finals still a possibility.

[Nasher 33,613]

Got all the right results this week, and made considerable inroads in to North's percentage.

Look out North Melbourne, the bloody Demons are coming!

[Ricky P 757]

We are in this up to our ears. We now only need 4 results to go our way.

I don't think Jack Viney will let the boys won't finish the year wondering what could have been. They'll throw everything at the next two weeks.

[deanox 9,912]

I want to make finals this year.

 

Even if only to have to honour of being the team that did not finish a round in the top all year except for when it counted.

[Monocology 1,109]

Not impossible.

Leicester City - that was impossible.

That Essendon loss hurts more week by week. So does that eagles loss

North as well....Carn m8 it's all about learning this year.

Maybe a few things go our way the next few weeks and bring in deetember 

[ILLDieADemon 804]

The Essendon game we should have easily won will be the reason we don't play finals this year. 

We could have been one game out, instead we are two games out and need to some how beat Geelong at home in the final round and make up the parentage against Carlton.

No point looking back fellas. The Essendon loss and so forth are ancient history. That was before.

This is now, so look forward. This Melbourne side is hungry. No excuses, we must maul Carlton this week, then it's game on against Geelong.

[Nasher 33,613]

Someone stop me before I overdose on my own hyperbole 

[What 18,810]

The Eseendon loss seems to have woken us from our slumber.  No point dwelling on it, as it seems we used it as a very valuable lesson.

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,816]

Lucky North are playing Sydney next week, because North are near unbeatable in Hobart.

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,816]

If the miracle did happen, I have us playing GWS at Spotless, provided West coast don't win their last 2.

[hells bells 2,023]

Odds slashed to 11-1 now.
