Goin' down to the wire.

If the Hawks and Swans draw and we beat GWS we would host GWS in the first final.

I would prefer this to playing Geelong.

I'd prefer Geelong. Two of the softest matches in history leading into a finals series,  they'll be ripe for the picking. 

I reckon we'll be more motivated to beat them than any team in the 8.

The AFL want Sydney in the top four so badly.

[SaberFang 7,151]

Geez, some teams just get those bloody goals EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

By my calculations, we need to win tomorrow, otherwise it could be travel every week of the finals to go on any sort of run.

Elimiation final vs GWS at Spotless

Semi final vs Sydney at the SCG

Prelim final vs West Coast at Optus

That would be impossible.

The teams that finish 5th and 8th play each other in round one.  Then the winner keeps going.  So apart from the location of the Elimination Final, the finals draw will be the same for both teams.

Given we can only finish 5th or 8th (unless Sydney and Hawks draw, and then we'll finish 6th), the only difference is the location of our first final. 

 

Our potential travel is influenced more by who wins Syd v Haw tonight,  and who wins WCE v Haw/Coll in week 1.

Hawks are home now. That sucks.

[layzie 33,752]

Was hoping for the worst situation for Collingwood. Which is probably against Richmond. 

[SaberFang 7,151]

How the hell are the Hawks top 4? Seriously. They are bloody average!!!

[The Lobster Effect 887]

I hate Hawthorn.

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

So i take it ...win and we play Geelong at the G, lose and we play Sydney SCG.

[red&blue1982 255]

The thought of Hawthorn winning another flag is putried!

[layzie 33,752]

Oh what?? Hawthorn didn’t overtake Collingwood?

[Jaded No More 68,867]

Nope....0.3%

[Macca 16,919]

Richmond vs Hawthorn in a final ... first time ever? 

That's unless West Coast lose by 3+ goals and drop to 4th.

For the love of..

[TeamPlayedFine39 8,484]

My understanding is that, with that result, we win tomorrow, we play Week 1 and 2 at the G... that’s a good result.

Nup, GWS at spotless if we lose.

No.

We lose and GWS go ahead of Sydney on points. A draw and GWS will rise to 5th on %.

So it's simple. GWS in Sydney or Geelong at the MCG depending on tomorrow.

Week 1:
Geelong @ mcg (if we win tomorrow) or GWS @ spotless (if we lose)

 

Week 2
Rich or Haw @ mcg

 

Week 3
WCE or Coll

 

 

There are no other permutations. 

[layzie 33,752]

It doesn’t end there. West Coast lose tomorrow and the filth get a home final
