NON MFC: Round 16

[Bring-Back-Powell 15,557]

Great.

The heart ache continues for one more week. I assumed that last night we would’ve been put out our misery.

GWS got arrogant at selection and will probably have a far stronger side on Saturday.

Carlton didn’t deserve to play finals in 2013 either. Just saying...

Have a heart! Years of following this club has damaged our faculties beyond recovery

Swans belting the crap out of Carlton and it's very uplifting!

We are just as likely to beat GWS & then lose to the bombers or even more mfc heartbreak the dogs win both games & saints lose both & we miss out on % so mfc like

[Pates 9,697]

Just when you think you’re out you get pulled back in. 
 

 

[Radar Detector 1,347]

What is happening? It’s like the twilight zone. Can’t see the bulldogs coughing up a spot though even if we roll GWS. And Carlton will reel Sydney in.

[At the break of Gawn 4,515]

So assuming we win our last two, basically we need one of the three to happen in order to make the eight:

1) Pies lose both their last two games (GC and Port)

2) Saints lose both their last two games (WCE and GWS)

3) Dogs lose one of their last two games (Hawks and Freo)

I actually think the most likely is the Dogs dropping one of their games. Hawks are due for a win I feel.

Freo are a good chance to beat Bulldogs in Cairns on a dewy night.Great it's up there and not Metricon where they played the last 6/8,while we're Metricon,Alice Springs,Cairns,Cairns,Gabba,Metricon on mostly 4/5 day breaks!!!

perhaps more likely is the dogs to lose to Freo in the last round - if we win our 2 last games we'll get in 8th assuming no big jumps in %

Correct, if we win both of our last two games then any of the above three scenarios sees us make finals.

The St Kilda scenario requires us to make up 7% on St Kilda. Given we'll be winning twice and they'll be losing twice from here, that is probably not that much of a stretch.

The other two don't rely on percentage but obviously require upsets.

The only relevant game to be played before we play GWS is St Kilda v West Coast on Thursday night. If St Kilda win that, we'll know we're down to only two of these options being available. But, in what I think is good news, we'll still have the Dogs and Collingwood games unplayed when it's our turn, so we won't know for sure. Means we can't get ahead of ourselves and hopefully helps us focus.

Chances of us winning the last two? Not good I would think on past performance.

If we win our last two, Carlton can only pass us by winning their last two and making up 9% on us.

I wish I shared your optimism in winning the last two TU. I really do.

Well that’s just excellent, Carlton win. Last time I looked swans were belting them. They’ll end up higher than us on the ladder. Good on you MFC

Well done Lewis Taylor you fat moron. Missed dead in front from 30m out after milking a free.

I'm not optimistic about us winning our last two at all. I'm barely optimistic about us winning even one of them.

But, if we do win our last two, Carlton won't be passing us. 

The pessimistic outlook would suggest this: we lose our last two, Carlton beats Adelaide, Fremantle beats North, and we end up 13th.

That was Sydney's only score from the 3 minute mark of the third quarter onwards.

Losing to them last week is an absolute disgrace.
