ROUND 19 - Non MFC games

[Graeme Yeats' Mullet 6,766]

"That's as tough as any run home" (on Sydney's draw)

I know I'm quoting Wayne Carey but... it's true, 11 wins and 4 tough games home - good for us

[Chook 15,001]

Zac Jones could easily be out for a couple of weeks after that late bump there.

[Dee Zephyr 19,247]

Swans start 0-6 last year and miraculously make the finals, this year they could go 0-6 to finish the year and sensationally miss.

Looks like last year the Band Aids got them home....

Should go for two for that, but Merrett should get one for the staging from the one at first bounce.

Wtf is wrong with Swans ? ?

They are finished, thats whats wrong with them.

[Moonshadow 17,578]

Hurley and Stringer laughing on the bench with 1 min to go despite not being in the 8. Makes me sick. 

And yet the press focus on Bernie smiling with Danger....

[titan_uranus 24,915]

The way Sydney is playing, we are every chance to beat them in a fortnight.

Tomorrow night is huge for us, now. A clear opportunity to win the next three is open to us if we apply ourselves.

With Sydney's downturn in form, this draw is opening up for us slightly. Win tomorrow and we're still in it up to our necks.

I was going to mention it today but thought I'd let it play out. 

There for the taking if we really want it. Could really put the pressure on the Powa if we win tommorow night.

Our destiny is in our hands

Certainly if we can keep on winning anything is possible.

We had our fate in our hands last year and fluffed it: the players keep on about being gutted,  so they had better bloody well show it for the next 2 ½ months !

Our result is obviously most important, but wins to the Dogs, St Kilda and Fremantle (vs Hawthorn) are all huge for us.

If we win and Collingwood lose to Richmond, then we'll be a game off third. We'll go past Sydney (and will have a 15-20% buffer on them, too) and we'll remain a game and percentage clear of Essendon (and North, if they win). We could also move up further if GWS or Port lose.

In the ridiculous fantasy dream world, we win and each of GWS, Port, Hawthorn, Geelong and North lose. Then we're in the top 4 and we're a game and percentage clear of 9th with 4 games left. Probably somewhere around 0.0000000001%

If we lose, we'll be level on points with Essendon and Adelaide (and North, if they win). We'll drop below Geelong and Hawthorn assuming they win, and be out of the 8 if both win. 

The impact of just one game is insanely high.

Can’t stand it, the most cringeworthy thing on tv 

[Moonshadow 17,578]

We need to hit form and win 4 of the remaining games. No reason why we can't. Have shown the ability, just need to bloody well do it!

Must rate, otherwise why would stupid 7 do it?

It's mindless and dumb. Thanks 7

Wouldn't that be nice?  Having a finals spot wrapped up with two games remaining and be pushing for top 4.

Perhaps finally we will deliver.

[John Demonic 5,617]

I know Zak Jones was quite a nuffy today, but i'd still take him for his pace and contested work - And being trade out of Sydney would be a wake up call to pull his head in. I have to wonder if he has lowered his trade value tonight and we could get in on the cheaper (than before). For eg a sydney fans over the top response: "I’m sick of this [censored]. He’s fast becoming a liability and yeah, not worth it. Would gladly give him away, [censored] a trade."

I’ll support you binman by cheering on the filth next week against the Swans in Sydney, just don’t tell anyone please. 

[Pates 9,626]

Obviously we’re going to keep a close eye on the competition but the club internally should only focus on themselves. 

It’s laid out in front of us and it’s uo to us to make the most of the opportunities available to us. Every game is winnable, just as every game is losable (GC beating Sydney proved that).
