NON-MFC: Round 23

[At Least I Saw a Flag 5,353]

I hate the filth so much.

And their filthy supporters.

[OhMyDees 1,834]

We’ll have all the neutrals on Friday night! 

[Dee Zephyr 19,312]

The Daniher miss and Zac Bailey thinking he’s out for a Sunday stroll turned out very costly.

[Antioch 235]

The most blatant umpire cheating in the last five minutes of a game ever seen. The AFL wants Collingwood to be in the finals.

What was your excuse?

We were watching the replay of the Demons slaughtering the Gold Coast Scums.

The way Bris caved in, I’m not sure whether I hate them or the filth more?

Maybe we could make a play for Lachie Neale??

I mean if the dogs and hawks beat North and tigers tomorrow they'd have to win and make up 10% on Friday night,  as well as hope neither of them win next week either

[titan_uranus 25,255]

Sickening result but good for us. Suddenly our Friday night home game is going to get more attendees and more TV eyeballs. 

Also gives us really tangible motivation - return the favour from 2017.

Nope, they’re out to catch Fremantle. All they have to do is beat us and Fremantle lose to Port and they pass them. They also need Carlton to lose both too but with their current injury list that seems likely right now.

[DiscoStu17 873]

Nibbler played well today.
I think he’ll play really well next week as well.

We should pick our targets during the showdown.

Anyone else watching it with a glass of red?

We want the pies to win do we not?

So we can break their hearts next week.

They'll need like 4 teams to lose their next two games to even have a chance, don't they?

[JTR 2,910]

I'd love to see a stat on how many frees the Pies get in the last 5 mins of games when the margin is a couple of goals or less.

I counted 5 or 6 straight tonight, and while most were probably there, they were all soft and not frees they were paying earlier in the game.

Lions are weak as. No heart when it matters.

They are like the lion from the legend of Oz. Pea hearts.

I think it’s Freo that is vulnerable. They have to play Port next week, a loss leaves them on 50 pts. Pies win against us they go to 52. 

[DiscoStu17 873]

Watching crom #14 and, #43

Also, pear #6 and #5 and, #14

flagmantle vulnerable to drop out, but filth would need to make up significant percentage to get ahead of them, dingley, or the baggers

hard to see it happening

To confirm, they only need Carlton to lose both games. They don’t care about the Dogs or Hawthorn. 

If Carlton lose both, then they will pass Fremantle and make finals if they beat us and Fremantle loses to Port next week. 

Our game is first so they may be in the 8 on Friday night, leaving Fremantle to need to win to make it on Sunday evening. 

By the way - this would be the precise situation for us had we held on last week. We would be playing Friday night for a chance to take Fremantle’s finals spot (again, assuming Carlton lose both games).

I don’t care that he looks like Cletus Spuckler, JHF is a jet.

Yep. Norf will be just loving watching him play. Their replacements will have to be damn good.

Damn Cwood.

12 wins so far.

One more than us.

We had five games that were determined by a goal or less.

We lost four of them.

The pies however had 9 games decided by a goal or less

Two were a draw. They lost only one of nine.

Twenty four points v our four.

Other teams above us won their fair share of close ones when we were lost the most.

Something we need to fix.

That’s not how I am seeing it. Freo are on 50, Pies are on 48 with a game to play. Am I reading the ladder wrong?
