[Deeoldfart 8,030]

Bugger you Jack Watts (not the first time I've said that!)

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

Come on Freo..........

[Diamond_Jim 12,583]

cannot be long to go.

[Dee Zephyr 19,267]

Port’s first loss in six weeks and boom.....out of the top 4. 

[dl4e 5,851]

Watch GWS splatter Port next week.

[Deeoldfart 8,030]

Bloody rippa Dockers!!

[Jaded No More 68,915]

Never change Freo. Long may you continue to fail when excepted to win and win when expected to lose. Bless you, you hideously boring team. 

Great weekend of results for us, except North losing. But what else can you expect from those [censored]?! Will hate forever.

The North result is debatable.  The only really bad one was bloody Richmond not beating GWS.

[Demonland 72,180]

Port have one of the toughest runs home. Chance they won't even make finals?

Giants (H)

Bulldogs (A - Mars Stadium)

Adelaide (Showdown)

Eagles (H)

Collingwood (A)

Essendon (H)

If we had just gotten a win against garbage teams Port or St Kilda we would be in such a great position.

No point crying over spilt milk though.  Bring on the Cats.

[SaberFang 7,151]

Well that round couldn't have gone much better, barring an Essendon and Giants loss. Woo!

North/Sydney result matters depending on whether we need the result to make top 4 or 8.

True. Richmond not winning was bad. 

Sydney winning pushed us down a spot. North winning wouldn’t have changed that.

We can redeem ourselves by beating one of Geelong, Sydney or West Coast. Plus of course we need to beat GC and take care of Adelaide.

yep, and as I've posted earlier, I'm risk averse.  If we make the finals outside the top 4, the season will be a success. If we don't make the 8 there will be wrist slitting all round.

Port and Collingwood lose next week and we win we will be 4th. Lose and we are just surviving in the 8.

Based on a few ladder predictors I've done with conservative results if we lose the next 2 games we could be sitting 10th.

Well we had better not lose then  -  simple really.

True.

One other good thing about all these upsets is that it will likely take 13 wins to make the 8 now. it was looking like it may take 14 there for a while.

So if we win 3 of the last 6 we will make it.   And top 4 is there for the taking.

As as bizarre as it might also seem...just atm...as the final 8 might result according to Squiggle...we could play the Tigers in a prelim before the GF Such a funny game Footy at times

looking at that ladder is painful. We'd be on top if we had beaten Port, Geelong and Saints !!

Every time I look at the ladder I think the same. I really feel that the best is yet to come and many will be surprised.

[dees189227 12,392]

Wow the pies dropped to 5th after there loss but have got back up to 3rd. Next week there are some important games. Us v Geelong, Collingwood v Nth and Port v GWS. Cannot stress the importance of us winning next week to get the 2 game break on the cats and hopefully collingwood lose to nth so we can climb a spot. But yeah you think if only we beat at least stkilda like we should have we'd be 3rd. 

Anyone else get this scary feeling our finals could come down to r23 against the giants when of course they will be at full strength then. 

[Demonland 72,180]

If we can't beat Top 8 teams do we really deserve to make the finals?

No

Strangely the tenet of many a post.

Nope. As it is I think we will get bundled out week 1 (unless we make top 4 which is very unlikely). Gotta take a scalp.
