St Kilda v Essendon at Docklands tonight

A loss by Essendon will almost end their finals chances (they would need to win 5 straight to be on 12 games at season end).

A win by St Kilda will see them firmly entrenched in the eight on 10 wins.

Go Bombers (this week only please)

What works better for us?

Peptides, North, GW$, Bears, Carlton and Dockers all winning would be better for us, yes?

I would love to see Melbourne win (obviously), Essendon, Bulldogs and Eagles all lose this week.  Start to get a gap between 8th and 9th.

I would love to get top 8 secure before we worry about top 4, since I firmly believe once we have our best 22 fit and firing, we don't need a double chance, or a home final (although both would help!), we can beat anyone, anywhere!

GWS knocking off Sydney needs to happen

We want the following teams to win:

• Essendon
• Geelong
• North Melbourne
• Collingwood
• GWS
• Melbourne
• Brisbane
• Carlton
• Fremantle

 

Sorry did someone just say Go Bomber???

I see it differently, I reckon there are only 2 teams outside the 8 that can realistically make it. Bombers and WC (dogs have lost 7 of last 10). So I'll be hoping the Saints get up, they are in great form and will make the 8 regardless IMO. Bombers have an easy run home but if they lose they are almost out of it (at 7 and 9) and we only need to worry about one team coming in.

Port have 5 of 7 at home so they are in. Tigers and Sydney are the teams most likely to move out but I wouldnt be surprised if the 8 stays as is 

GWS beating Sydney is the absolute number 1 priority this week. Sydney also have Geelong and Adelaide away, so if they lose all those games they'll struggle to actually make finals despite being the hottest side in the league.

Tonight I'm really not sure what is better for us?? My first gut feel is I want St Kilda to lose as they seem to be our direct competitor this year, but Essendon have a soft run home.

 

Will be interesting to see if the Swans supporters make the trip out to the west for the Giants v Swans game.

The usual Giants crowd of 10,000 or less would be a big disappointment for the AFL

Dont think i can bring myself to support anything Essendon, ever. Not sure why StKilda losing makes a difference to us? Yes theyre playing better now, but hey theyve played 1 really good quarter against the Tigers at home, the rest is just normal StKilda.....they will make the finals anyway. Rather play them than Sydney. Go the Orange people!!

Please god let Brisbane beat Richmond. It's starting to set up nicely for a Richmond fail to top all others. They have no place playing in September. Finals sides don't get humiliated 91-10 in a half of a football, no matter the circumstances.

Not worthy of a new thread but I see Fyfe has signed a four year deal with Freo worth $6mil.

It's a lot of cheddar indeed. 

StKillda to beat essenscum.

Freo to beat west coast.

GWS to beat Sydney.

Melbourne winning would be good but all of these results won't happen.

Good god that's way overs for his form since his Brownlow year 

I'm giving the Lions at home a chance over the Tigers.

It's at Etihad, but certainly still a chance.

Sorry - I just cannot support Essendon in any shape or form.

Us winning works better for us, then the other teams can go [bleep] themselves.

Apart from us and Brisbane, what a [censored] horrible list of want to wins.

The only way I see it happening is if Essendon needed to win for us to make finals. Even then I would feel the need to shower after every quarter.

I'm sorry but does anyone else suspect Jane Bunn's an android?? Alarmingly consistent downward inflection at end of each breath. 

So Essendon have a clash jumper.  Does that mean we get a home game against them now?

I can't have anyone bad mouthing Jane. If she's android, I want to come back in the next life as an android.
