Have they announced the crowd yet?

[old55 23,357]

North - just so hateable.  We need to spank those campaigners later this year.

[What 18,810]

Probably the two most boring clubs. If they folded nobody would care.

Two teams playing at their home ground. Very poor.

I thought maybe they had multiplied the real figure by the number of games Brent Harvey had played...

Saints percentage was 96.57 at 3/4 time finished at 94.95

[Pates 9,659]

Those late North goals are definitely a massive bonus for us (and anyone else in that group). 

26,000 is a very poor crowd for two melbourne based teams who are based out of the same ground. But goes to show you we're not the only fans who don't turn out to the joint. 

I hope plenty of Dees fans do get down to Etihad, make plenty of noise to will the team on!

[Diamond_Jim 12,527]

well... there go North's chances of the eight .... if they ever had one.

they would need to win eight out of 10. While they have a relatively easy run home it isn't that easy.

If Richmond beat Sydney tomorrow at the MCG that is almost certainly the end for the Swans. (May drop along and watch that match if there is some winter sunshine.)

On that basis we then have five teams who cannot make the 8.

The mathematics is becoming interesting to say the least.

What's interesting is that we should have three teams from last years 8 not make it this year 

North, Hawks and Swans.....

will we take one of those three places? 

[beelzebub 23,313]

sorry @chook  thought yo were serious earlier...  youre not are you .....

we're better than that...( either of...that)

[Diamond_Jim 12,527]

Tough one this afternoon but on balance I will be going for the Swans.

I am hankering after that fourth place on the ladder if by some miracle we have a good finish to the season.

Go the Swanettes !!

Hopefully it's a cracking game but the Swan run out big winners.

Not tough at all, easy as hell Jim.

Swans win  + Demons win = we leapfrog the Tiggers and top 4 is in our sights.

GO SWANSS DESTROY THE TIGER PRETENDERS

A question - given the pre-finals bye would a 5th place finish, with home ground be better than a 4th place finish, away game (most likely in Adel or Syd)?

Feels like the "2 weeks off in a month" scenario of a top 4 win in first week could be a momentum killer, especially for a young team.

Tad early for that Paul, let's just make it to September first

[GCDee 3,199]

Can't decide who I want to lose more... Sydney if they lose pretty much zero chance of making the 8 which gets rid of one of our competitors... but if Richmond lose then opens up that 4th spot in the top 4.... plus I HATE Richmond 

[Wiseblood 24,637]

Everyone loves the Tigers and I have no idea why.  They don't play a brand of footy, nor have the cattle, that will hold up in September.  Matthew Lloyd was even calling Dimma the 'Coach of the Year'.  I hope they keep pumping up their tires as their fall will be all the more enjoyable when it happens.

Edit - and by everyone I mean them media.  We all know every neutral fan hates the Tigers.

Was responding to Petraccattackers comment about "aiming for 4th spot"... 

and I agree it's too early.
