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. Expand Realistically I'd say we win 1 of 2 but that doesn't mean much. We have GWS and Essendon and the Blues have Adelaide and Bris so they are both interesting runs home. Just annoying seeing Carlton win to be honest, in general. 2 Quote

The dogs beating West Coast has almost cancelled that GWS result out unfortunately, doggies are in the box seat now with an easy run home. The only hope we have is if Freo produce an upset over them in the last round OR us win our last two comfortably, StKilda lose their last two comfortably and we catch them on %.

spirit of norm smith 16,680 Posted September 8, 2020 Posted September 8, 2020 How good was Sam Walsh. 20 yo and 2nd year. Dragged his team back. Fantastic 2nd quarter with 10 possessions 4 marks 3 tackles and a goal to make it a contest. Oversll disposals at 85% efficiency. 480 metres gained. That’s what we need. A player with class. Have not had such a midfielder with class and elite skills since Flower in 70s and 80s. 4 Quote
