well thats it we better win tomorrow or else. all the footy shows will be talking about essendon and how its great to see them bounce back and they can cause damage to teams.

Next week they have another home game at etihad playing freo. 

Anyway I do hope freo can at least knock of the tigs tomorrow.

Looks like Essendrug will play finals.

Proves the were barely punished for the drug cheating regime. They should have been out of the finals for 5 years minimum.

But they were allowed to keep their top picks, got  handed the easiest draw despite all their returning players, and were allowed to keep their top up players like Tipungwiti who no other club access to as he was never in a draft.

[censored] you AFL.

Tippa wasn't a top up player. Was taken in 2015 rookie draft

So flat now. Hate them and everyone associated with them.

Tippa was rookie drafted by us and elevated last year.

Melbourne could have drafted him if they wanted to.

Is Zac Fisher the twin brother of Wednesday Addams?

[deelete my account 1,194]

I think i'd rather see us and Essendon in the finals. Why would anyone want to see WCE make it and play Port Adelaide, Sydney or Richmond? I would not even tune in. Atmosphere would be a regular season match.

AFL always wanted them to make it. But as long ad we do i dont care. I hope they Sydney and get smashed.

[layzie 30,408]

Well they're there now. Let's just do our job

[Bang Bang Bang 5,608]

Honestly I don't hate Essendon that much anymore. They cheated, but they did their time for that and have ridded themselves of the ringleaders. I still don't want them in the finals but they play a good brand and I'd rather them than the bloody Hawks getting in again.

Anyway, watching the Gold Coast tonight reminded me of Melbourne in 2012-14. What a spineless rabble they are. Mad Monday can't come quick enough.

[Fork 'em 6,629]

Hate Essendon with a passion.
Always have, always will.

[titan_uranus 23,226]

Who cares about Essendon?

If we win tomorrow, we are very, very close to making it. That should be exciting all of us.

[SaberFang 7,141]

And there's every chance Fremantle will beat Essendon next week and [censored] over their finals chances.

[Pennant St Dee 11,880]

Don't care who makes it once we do.

Yes I hate Meth Coast more than any sporting organisation in the world but honestly more focused on the Dees than anything. 

Not looking beyond Brisbane tomorrow

It is so nice that they likely wont be in the finals.

In fact, despite my Essendon rant earlier, I may just prefer to see them instead of the Eagles.

So sick of the flat track bullies taking a spot in the 8 and may this be the beginning of their slide down the ladder with Priddis, Kennedy, Hurn, McKenzie etc nearing the end.  Their core players are all 27+ and they lack any young talent.  They might just be in trouble. 

[Bring-Back-Powell 13,646]

Was hoping GWS would beat WCE by more but beggars can't be choosers.

We can still make the finals by losing to Brisbane AND Collingwood, right?

1) We lose both by very small margins.

2) Dogs lose to Hawks 

3) Saints lose to Richmond and don't beat north by a million points.

4) West Coast lose to Adelaide by a few goals.

Hopefully the players don't get complacent and read the above scenario as it would be a disappointing but feasible  way to make it.

He's got a bit of John Cazale about him I reckon, and that ain't a good thing.

I liked it better earlier in the season when I didn't know what Fisher looked like and he was just a rookie on my SC bench who I hoped would get a game and make some cash...he didn't even do that properly.

Yes, this is now true thanks to Carlton beating Hawthorn (previously had this occurred, Hawthorn would have taken our spot). It would be a matter of holding our percentage over West Coast (and the Dogs and St Kilda, but we're 10% in front of them so that's not as difficult).

If we win today, the only thing stopping us from making the finals is a loss to Collingwood combined with West Coast thrashing Adelaide next week to catch us on percentage.

Indeed.  We are around 28 points worth of percentage ahead of West Coast currently.  It would be good if after today that was 70 points, meaning that a 20 point loss to the Pies would still require a 50 point win by West Coast to dislodge us.  Better still Dees, let's just win the last two games unequivocally!

Fremantle would be loathe to let bitterest rivals WC get into the finals. I would not be surprised if they roll over and let the bummers have a percentage boosting win.

I think we're giving Fremantle too much credit.

I don't think they're anywhere near good enough to control the outcome of that game.

But they can stop trying.
