Port can kiss my rear end. How we lost to them I'll never know. Bunch of floppers and front runners.

At what stage does Ross (handed and great list at StKilda but missed a flag x 3, then handed a great list at Fremantle but missed a flag again) Lyon come under scrutiny..?

Totally agree, I feel like he’s one of those highly tactical coaches that don’t motivate players or get them “playing for him”. He’s made a grand final with Freo since being there, surely should be under the pump next year.

I'm betting Crows will beat them over there

Geelong's now up to 125.6%, that's a jump of 8% or so.

However, it is also now irrelevant given Port's loss.

Port can't catch us from 109.6%, nor can North from 109.1%. So, if we get to 13, we make finals. 

If we can't win another game, Geelong were going to pass us anyway and our battle comes down to Port and North - we need North to lose one game and we need Essendon to beat Port. 

Geelong's percentage may well pass ours, but it will only be relevant if we get to 13 (in which case it just affects final positions in the bottom half of the top 8).

Not on percentage - they're on 109.1%, we're on 130.5%.

If we win one more game they can't pass us (ditto Port).

I hate Geelong. Beating up on teams at their pigstie of of a stadium.

Losing to Geelong and the arrogance of their fans following the wins has made me hate them even more. They are up there as one of the luckiest clubs in history, fair play their early dynasty of premierships they worked for but since then (like Hawthorn) they’ve topped up being a “destination club” and lucked out with getting Damgerfield and Ablett to the club without and possible challenge. 

They lucked out with us twice this year, and that’s the difference between our clubs.

A stadium the profligate State government handed over 10s of millions of dollars to build, at the expense of so many worthy causes. The stench of government waste is all over that stadium and these filthy mange infested cats have the effrontery to claim credit for its construction. Disgraceful !!!

[SFebes 4,884]

So if I’m right.... if we lose both games, we need Ess to beat Port in SA.

Correct problem is bombers may not care and shut up shop for the year 

[titan_uranus 24,970]

Port are out of the 8 after that loss.

So that means Collingwood will likely finish the year with just the one win against the top 8 (either against us, or Port, or North, depending on who takes the last spot).

Their repeat games were Richmond, Essendon, Carlton, Brisbane, Fremantle.

Ours were Geelong, Adelaide, Bulldogs, St Kilda, Gold Coast.

So we both got one good side (Richmond/Geelong), one middle-of-the-road side (Essendon/Adelaide), and three duds in our repeat games.

But we're the side with the "easy draw", whilst they're the side who are flag contenders.

(We deserve to have the spotlight on us for not being able to win games against the top 8, I just can't stand the way the same spotlight never goes on Collingwood).

I think you mean lucked in.

And Norf not to win both their remaining matches?

I don’t think they’ll beat Adelaide, but you never know. I’d rather win one or two in next two rounds than fall in. Not going to be easy, fingers crossed, can’t believe we’re in this situation again and hopefully doesn’t affect the players

[radar 1,865]

Got a feeling we’ll pinch one. 

[titan_uranus 24,970]

If we win both games from here, we likely finish 5th or 6th (depending on results in the GWS-Sydney and Sydney-Hawthorn games).

We can still make the top 4 (for those still playing that game) - we need us to win both, Sydney to beat GWS but lose to Hawthorn, and then either Hawthorn loses to St Kilda or Collingwood loses to Fremantle so that we can pass them on 14 wins with our percentage. That means we can theoretically still finish as high as 3rd. 

If we win just one game, we'll likely finish 6th-8th (depending largely on what happens with Geelong's percentage and then the results of the GWS-Sydney and Sydney-Hawthorn games).

If we lose both games, we'll finish 8th if Port lose to Essendon and North lose one game. We'll finish 9th if only one of things happens (i.e. if Port wins or if North wins both). We'll finish 10th if neither of those things happens (i.e. Port wins and North wins both).

We just gotta find a way to force a draw at the very least!

Nope, a draw would be horrible. No one will overtake us on percentage, so they will overtake us on points. 2 points doesn't help us, only 4 does.
