    Re: We're in the finals!

    I like this graph. I've seen it on one of the footy shows.

    Interestingly, our defence is comfortably producing the results needed, it's our scoring that is deficient.

    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

    Cats drew.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    No, no-one can knock us out.
    Geelong are two and a half games behind us with only two rounds to go.

    We are 8 points and 14.3% clear of Geelong - it's unlikely but possible that they could take our place.

    Yeah but we're still not scoring enough. The graph says Premiers typically score 100+ average and concede <86 average.

    We meet the defensive criteria but are not scoring enough to fit the historical profile (only Hawthorn and WCE comfortably do, Adelaide on border).

    To put it another way; our buffer in terms of points is around 230. We would need to lose both games (including Brisbane) by 10 goals and Geelong win both (including Adelaide) by 10 goals. It is possible, but odds would have to be 1,000-1.

    What odds did Lillee and Marsh get when the backed Australia to lose? It was huge I think

    Let's hope none of our guys have backed us to miss the 8 then !!

    When you look back on Lillee/Marsh, they really should've been given lifetime bans. From memory, they even kept the money.

    More like 21%
    If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

    The ladder only shows one draw but you must be right.

    I reckon Bmac would have had us there and better as a high scoring team anyway
