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. 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

Losing to them last week is an absolute disgrace. Very much so & damning on both Coach & players Edited September 8, 2020 by Hogan2014 Quote

old dee 24,083 Posted September 8, 2020 Posted September 8, 2020 Carlton may just have saved Goodwins neck last night, well that is if there is any fight left in the team for the last two games. 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 %. Either way, I don't like our chances. I would almost prefer to miss and the blowtorch be stronger on Goodwin. 2 Quote
spirit of norm smith 16,679 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
Superunknown 4,246 Posted September 8, 2020 Posted September 8, 2020 What chance we lose the next two anyway. Quote

I seriously doubt it will happen but as the result all year show it is the most unpredictable season ever. 1 Quote

Had a shocking loss to Adelaide, but nearly beat Saints, Essendon, and Port. Their last win was in Round 9 against Carlton. Could be another upset looming! Agreed. The best coach of the last 20 years won't stand for it. Quote

Have not had such a midfielder with class and elite skills since Flower in 70s and 80s. The big knock on Walsh all year has been his kicking. Turns it over so much (he had two chances to give Carlton a shot to beat us in Round 2, for one example). In saying that, apparently he hasn't missed a game since he debuted in Round 1 last year. Great effort for a 19-year old. Justifying being picked number 1. 1 Quote

Great effort for a 19-year old. Justifying being picked number 1. He's their most complete midfielder in my opinion, even moreso than Cripps. Think the knock on his disposal is a bit exaggerated. The level of consistency he's been able to display at 19 has been pretty special. 2 Quote

IMO the Blues are a poorish team as shown by their appalling 2nd half against the Pies. So they get up and beat the Swans in a huge comeback and just emphasise how winnable the Swans game should have been and exacerbates Goodwins inablility o get the team up for crunch games when they revert to type. 1 Quote
