on the other hand, if GWS win by 4 points, we need 46 points to beat the saints % easy as that really! ?

i did the ladder predictor, saints winning by 4 points and us winning by 40 pts. see below. yeah, I know, I threw up in my mouth also. in this likely scenario, if we had beaten the swans, the Pies would miss out W L D 1. Port Adelaide 14 3 0 136.0% 2. Brisbane Lions 14 3 0 126.4% 3. Richmond 12 4 1 128.2% 4. Geelong 12 5 0 139.5% 5. West Coast 12 5 0 118.6% 6. St Kilda 10 7 0 110.8% 7. Western Bulldogs 10 7 0 104.1% 8. Collingwood 9 7 1 108.1% 9. Melbourne 9 8 0 109.7% 10. GWS 8 9 0 100.2% 11. Fremantle 7 10 0 96.5% 12. Carlton 7 10 0 93.0% 13. Gold Coast 6 10 1 97.5% 14. Essendon 6 10 1 78.2% 15. Sydney 5 12 0 80.8% 16. Hawthorn 4 13 0 78.8% 17. North Melbourne 3 14 0 70.7% 18. Adelaide 3 14 0 65.6%

The old stats watchers... I thought Smith did alright actually aside from that HTB. won some good 1 on 1 battles with Cameron etc.

Agreed. he punch to Gawn should have been a fine. blatently trying to get our best player out of the game results should have been out yesterday so I assume he got nothing

I'd take an ageing Stratton over Chip or Frost anyday. No way it would have been Stratton's decision to retire Wouldn't go O'meara, doesnt strike me as leadership material. they don't have many candidates... maybe Mitchell? he should be back to his best next year

Hawthorn have delisted (sorry I mean retired) their captain! Stratton only 31yo They are imploding. where's the popcorn

He is a beauty and playing well for his first season in an average side. speaking of comparisons, what about Lewis Jetta in his first season kicking 19 behinds before his first goal. His skills are not bad now??? although frustrating, he will get his radar right soon and be a sharp shooter, I have not doubt

Who have been playing completely different roles. Easier to pick up Cheap touches down back

Big game for the Bombers, they COULD finish as high as 11th on the ladder and as low as 14th ? they might as well tank to get pick 5 instead of 8. Or whatever it’ll be this year

I try to add this in to every conversation I have. I googled it just now and wrote “how long since” and ‘since Essendon won a final’ automatically came up! ?

The team played well and worked for each other. I wouldnt make any changes unless needed through injury or rest. Bringing in an out of form player like Harmes doesn’t make sense to me

Their succession plan is going a treat so far! ? have to think he is trying to make excuses for his performance though. 16 years without a finals win, any club would not be happy with that.

Anyone know what Mumford got for the clothes-line on clarry?

Was not a sling. His arms were mostly free and contact fell on his shoulder mostly. not suspension worthy imo

Spargo can kick 50 metres! And has composure lacking in a lot of our list Rivers looks top 5 draft pick quality May is the best full back in the League That is all

Knowing the demons we will lose to the bombers. We are a real chance to lose. We can play well but also terribly so who knows what’ll happen. Bombers have been copping it so they’ll want to end on a high note and mess up our chances too

The dogs should have won that by 70 points, could come back to haunt them. They had the hawks on toast and just needed to maintain the pressure. Freo are playing like a top 8 team at the moment.

Will be tiiiiiggghht! gws win by any score on Friday. Then we know how much we need to win by the next day. not sure my nerves could take it!

Could do. But hopefully it haunts the dogs too. Tough place to play and Freo are used to the conditions

I’m back to hoping the giants beat the Saints. Giants should bring some good players players in

Thanks for screwing up my 6 game multi Blues. And to think some on here thought the Blues had flown past us

Forget the nomination, he’ll be odds on to win the thing next year!

It’s sad that we’ve blown our season over the past 2 weeks. We can look a decent team. very unlikely we play finals but who knows.

Seems more agree with me. I must be ‘watching the game’ I guess

May is bog. Lever solid baker, Pickett, rivers, three young players having hood games get it done demons.
