July 15, 20186 yr I'm less concerned about top 4 now. We had that chance and blew it. Far more concerned about finals itself, which that loss goes some way to helping. Besides, it's just so, so good to see Norf lose. Scott is a massive [censored].Â
July 15, 20186 yr looking at that ladder is painful. We'd be on top if we had beaten Port, Geelong and Saints !!

At any rate, Collingwood, Port and Sydney all have tough runs home (Port's gets even tougher if they somehow can't beat Fremantle today): Collingwood - North, Richmond, Sydney (away), Brisbane, Port, Fremantle (away) Port - GWS, Dogs (Ballarat), Adelaide, West Coast, Collingwood (away), Essendon Sydney - GC, Essendon (away), Collingwood, us (away), GWS (away), Hawthorn Of course, our run home is just as hard, but our destiny remains in our hands. And you never know, with those three sides having runs home like that, if we can outperform what we all think we're going to achieve (i.e. we get past 13 wins), we could go up on the ladder (I doubt it, personally).
July 15, 20186 yr Freo/port - both are woeful, will the lose of Gray inspire or stop Port? Edited July 15, 20186 yr by Darkhorse72
July 15, 20186 yr Freo may make it an almost perfect weekend, not for my tipping though  Edited July 15, 20186 yr by Darkhorse72
July 15, 20186 yr I assume there will be some inevitable posts re: 'how did we lose to port' - similarly those who thought the first half against the dogs were awful. To me - this game/ the cats loss, richmonds loss, hawthorn etc -  shows how close the competition is, and how mere percentages 'off your game' or at times 'luck' means you win, or get smashed... It's elite sport, it's tough and the margins are always small... AND - I really like what Roos, Goodwin and PJ et al, are building towards...and it may not be 2018...

July 15, 20186 yr @Danelska this is Port... against Freo who we just tore a new orifice !! Small margins...ffsÂ

We both seem to have defied the script by bouncing back instead of losing due to fatigue and insufficient recovery time! Edited July 15, 20186 yr by CBDees

July 15, 20186 yr I 'm loving round 17! Bring it home Freo (never thought I'd be saying that, even after a few reds).
July 15, 20186 yr Wow dockers, what a weekend. Watts’ one handed tackles still exist. Softest front runner of the last 10 years
