If the Suns and Giants can win today that is good for us. If North and the Lions can win tomorrow that would help us more but I don't think they will but if the Suns can do it tonight we are still a chance as Bevo said in the presser.

Easy now.
Win on Friday Night vs Hawthorn and we are temporarily 8th. Then all three results must go our way on Sunday knocking out Essendon (Freo), WCE (Crows) & Saints (Richmond). Assuming St Kilda beat North by more than 24 points.
Unlikely.

"Look at me mate. Look at me. I'm flyin'"
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.
For those praying for a miracle
To make the top 8, we must beat Hawthorn, and 3 of these 4 things must happen:
1. Essendon must lose to Fremantle at Etihad
2. Melbourne must lose to both Brisbane and Collingwood at the MCG
3. West Coast must lose to Adelaide in Perth
4. St Kilda must lose to one of North at Etihad and Richmond at the MCG, or not make up ~22 points of percentage on us

If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

Sorry, had in my head that they're playing in Melbourne. 50/50 game over there, 80/20 here
Realistically we're done for, but nothing today could rule us in or out, so not sure how we approach selection next week
A big day of upsets would help though. If Brisbane beat Melbourne and North beat St Kilda, we would only need 2 of West Coast, Melbourne and Essendon to lose next week. If Melbourne & St Kilda win, we would need all of West Coast, Essendon & St Kilda to lose

I'm on the 'anyone but GWS' bandwagon from here on in.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.
I'm on the "AFL season finishes next Friday night" bandwagon. September is for MLB pennant races and the opening of the NFL and NCAA football seasons.
