About 14 of us had us in the finals.

Re: We're in the finals!
MJP was on the money
"We will be on the fringes of finals action.
There will be some cheap wins against teams that aren't quite prepared for the changes in game-style etc and whilst there is the potential for some almighty beltings our contested ball/tackling numbers over the past couple of years have been strong enough that if our ball movement is even OK we will be competitive."

Re: We're in the finals!
Fantastic achievement by the club and to all those who believed we would play finals (I certainly wasn't one of them) nice predicting.

It's been the most enjoyable season after years of hell. But the job's not finished.

Re: We're in the finals!
We're in it. Time to go on and win it.
On SEN's Pure Footy they spoke about the correlation between the past 15 Premiers and a handful of key stats, including their famous Premiership Quadrant (AVG score for greater than 100, AVG score against less than 86). There are two teams comfortably in there, with us and Nth very close to the mark. The interesting thing for me was that the spread of factors was very high. It isn't just the Top Four ticking the boxes. In fact they aren't ticking all of the boxes like the previous 14, of 15 have. From their perspective 1 through to 6 meet the criteria and the remaining two are just off the mark but have had results against likely finals opponents.
It really is wide open. If ever there was a time to buck the trend, it is now. We are good enough, right now, that on our day we can beat anyone. Can we have enough days in a row to get us to the Promised Land? I reckon we can.

Re: We're in the finals!
Found my prediction .. Pretty proud of myself actually.
Re: Where will we finish.
I'm saying mid table maybe 8 th but if we did a Port Adelaide it wouldn't totally surprise me .
To be honest the players look like they are playing as mates and that kind of style you can't bottle.

I was a pessimist. Stoked that perhaps for the first time ever....I was wrong!
I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

Surely this is just the time you were mistaken.

Will be either Saturday Night or Sunday afternoon I would assume?
Friday night and Saturday afternoon would be the 2 qualifying final timeslots to give them the extra break over the others.
I'm hoping for Saturday Night personally

Re: We're in the finals!
If West Coast and Freo lose the first week of the finals, where do they play the second week? Perth or depends on other finalists?

Top four gets the second week of finals at home if they lose week 1.
