ah I finally convinced you! ? best bet is we win by 30 plus which I think we can do and hopefully the hawks win by a bit but not likely

Can we please double team him? we never seem to do this. they only have one real threat so surely we can do it Let's hope Buddy gets the injection in his heel he got 2 weeks ago and not the one he got last week!

crazy odds, dont they read the papers? I thought we couldn't win against a team in the 8? we are paying on $3.40 to win by 40pts+ I am surprisingly confident though. we are in good form - 3 wins out of 4 and the only loss is the geelong one

Geelong will then finish on 14 win. North should finish on 14 and Hawks should win the other 2 which equals 14 wins. end result - we finish 9th

can be hard to do damage if you don't make it though

If Gawn doesnt get up for the game we would be crazy to make the change tonight in the lne ups. Sydney will do most of their planning around him and Oliver. Late change 2pm sunday and bring Peedo in if needed

the irony is if we lost to the crows twice and north they would now be in the 8 and they would be 3 more games we lost to top 8 teams! haha surely some people understand in a close season if you beat teams, they are less likely to be above you. pretty sure Confusious said that, or maybe Robbo

no way you train the day before a game. sounds like a fitness test to me. Gawn in particular needs fresh legs to run out a game. light jogging and a couple of run throughs will be it you'd reckon

Gees it would be nice if we could make the finals one year before worrying about tapering off. Surely we did not compromise mid year games with heavy training to be fresh in September?? it would be nice to have some excuse for that St Kilda debacle though

11goals 8 behinds 3 out of bounds 23 kicks zero handballs not a bad day out!!

Of course I don't want to rely on those team but if Geelong win there is a pretty likely scenario where you need 14 wins to make the 8. so if games go roughly to script, we have a better chance of making the 8 if the Hawks win (in my tiny brain at least)

If Geelong beat Hawks I have the Dees missing if we only beat Sydney. Cats, Roos, Hawks, Pies on 14 wins If Hawks win I have us 8th edging out the Cats on % (which would be so sweet) by 4% - Cats win last 2 by 64pts. if they win 100pts each we would swap places In summary = unless there are upsets, WE REALLY NEED 2 WINS to be safe

hahaha thanks for sharing mate! change your undies and move on :-)

i know but Geelong would be below us so we'd make the 8. *unless cats win by 100pts + both last games

thanks mate. I still reckon Geelong wont make the % up though. they 118% for a reason, not much fire power

Hunt for Smith Pedo for Gawn (if unfit) please do not play Gawn if he is at risk. we can win without him. Oliver could read a ruckman with Parkinsons

what was his disposal efficiency? ?

My brain hurts trying to figure out whats best so can someone smart confirm if the Hawks beat Geelong and we beat Sydney, are we 99% in the finals barring crazy % changes? my understanding is we don't want Geelong to win as then there is a greater chance of there been many teams on 14 wins and we could miss out on 13 wins even with %

North no. 4. mental image of Ben Brown wildly flapping his arms around. someone touched me! contact Goal Attack!

there is some game style involved for sure but I think it is mostly down to skill and technical ability to kick accurately. So many teams do not value straight kicking and recruit poor kicks, which is insane as it often decides games. The pies are another one that do not recruit good kicks for goal. they would have won many more games over the years if they did

It's hard not to get excited when you hear Roosey talking us up. You now he wouldn't do it if he didnt really believe it and who would know better? The top analysis is rubbish, the 8 changes each week. make it a contender list of top 11 teams and we've done alright

cheers mate been a long day already!

Great show the front bar, has me in stitches most weeks. especially when they take the mickey out of channel 7's coverage and roaming brian. Should be great tonight!

Don't think so. none of those are on big money If we have planned correctly however we should be in a position to offer big money should a star become availble

I was watching the close up vision of the punch. he was getting pushed, then he stopped, steadied, looked at Brayshaw and punched his face. So you contend he was going to punch his chest in this round-house/hook motion? it would have hit his shoulder if so. My point overall, is why do we need to straight away feel sorry for Gaff? in the weeks to come maybe we can see his side of things and have some sympathy but at the moment the sympathy should be with Brayshaw and Gaff should cop his punishment - as he is
