Lucifers Hero 40,746 Posted August 13, 2020 Posted August 13, 2020 Tipping those that can keep our competitors for finals out of the 8 or within striking range to overtake their spot in the 8. Sydney North Dees Crows Freo Saints Hawks Rich Underlined are unlikely but it is good to dream Quote
whatwhat say what 23,880 Posted August 13, 2020 Posted August 13, 2020 GW$ Pear Bears Gulp.....us? Dockers? Footscray Peptides? Meth coke Tiggas Only three games - including ours - that it’s hard to tip you’d think this round Quote
DubDee 26,710 Posted August 13, 2020 Posted August 13, 2020 Unfortunately the Giants and dogs have easy games. Such a big game against the the Pies! I would call it an 8 pointer but it's still just played for 4 points 1 Quote
Diamond_Jim 12,778 Posted August 13, 2020 Posted August 13, 2020 That Essendon draw did us no good at all. Had Essendon lost it would have opened up 2 spots in the 8 for us to take...Pies and Saints with both Bombers and Suns trailing us. Bombers beating the Saints is good but it gives the Bombers a big leg up. If Saints win it gets harder to take their spot. Lose to Collingwood and we will be well out of the 8. Looking increasingly likely we will need ten wins to make the 8 which is probably at least one win too many for us. LH I believe a Blues win is best for us as it puts to bed any chance of Freo making the 8 and we are yet to play them GWS are vulnerable but hard to see them losing to the Swans Quote

LH I believe a Blues win is best for us as it puts to bed any chance of Freo making the 8 and we are yet to play them GWS are vulnerable but hard to see them losing to the Swans I chose Freo as their % is really poor and they would have to win an extra game to overtake us (unless we lose a few by a long margin). As an aside, I feel time is starting to run out for teams that have played 11 games and still outside the 8 (or in the lower part of the 8). I think we (and some other teams) have a real advantage over them. Use Bulldogs as an example: Assume 10 games needed to make finals: Bulldogs (on 5 wins from 11 games) need to win 5 from remaining 6 games. Whereas Demons (on 5 wins from 10 games) need to win 5 from remaining 7 games. Same logic applies to teams at the lower end of the 8. Maybe the Ess forced bye may come back and help us... 1 Quote

Pickett2Jackson 3,904 Posted August 13, 2020 Posted August 13, 2020 Wow..... big result about to go our way? They better not choke like the Suns last night Quote
DubDee 26,710 Posted August 13, 2020 Posted August 13, 2020 We could be in the 8 on Sat night if we win! Quote
titan_uranus 25,255 Posted August 13, 2020 Posted August 13, 2020 GWS looks like us at our worst. Tonnes of inside 50s but cannot score, and conceding far too easily out the back. Sydney winning is a great result for us if we are genuine about our finals chances. 1 1 Quote
darkhorse72 1,943 Posted August 13, 2020 Posted August 13, 2020 GWS have not developed as a team, too many talented players trying to do their own thing to win. Quote
daisycutter 30,021 Posted August 13, 2020 Posted August 13, 2020 i'll stick my neck out and say the swans have this won 1 Quote
DubDee 26,710 Posted August 13, 2020 Posted August 13, 2020 Biggest upset of the year. Giants are full of guns. Swans missing many top players. the 8 is open! Quote
Pickett2Jackson 3,904 Posted August 13, 2020 Posted August 13, 2020 We will be in the 8 in less than 48 hours. Pop the champagne Quote
Diamond_Jim 12,778 Posted August 13, 2020 Posted August 13, 2020 Well one things for sure out of that game.... There's a coach more under pressure than Goodwin Atrocious performance by a highly skilled side Quote

dazzledavey36 56,370 Posted August 13, 2020 Posted August 13, 2020 Holy [censored].. GWS dropping this game and by a big percentage means that this game is a HUGE must win game. Its simple, we beat Collingwood, we go to 8th spot. C'mon Dees let's dare to dream! 1 Quote

A win doesn't guarantee us a spot in the 8 - if Essendon beat St Kilda they'll take it and we'll stay 9th (with GWS 10th). Doesn't change the fact that this game for us this weekend is huge. Hmmm. When was the last time we had such a massive game with a lot riding on it against Collingwood...? 1 1 Quote
