The Equation

[ledge]

I just looked at Geelongs draw they could easily lose all 4 , we could end up ahead of them as well.
What a hectic last 4 rounds, the AFL would be in awe of the crowds they will get at games the last few rounds.

[comrade]

If we storm into the finals on a 7 game win streak, I will feel a tad silly essentially writing the year off about a month and half ago.

[Flamethrower]

We just have to worry about this week first.....our sustained mediocrity this season has left us with no room for error, and our record at the Gabba is poor - haven't won since 2009.

[Eastdog]

What a season!!

1 week at time but we potentially can win all 4. I feel we have picked up a little bit of form lately as well.

Lions (G)- W hopefully % booster but need to be weary a little bit of a danger game

Giants (ES) 50/50 but more inclined to say that we can get the win they haven't been special this year GWS.

Port (Ballarat) - W hopefully

Hawks (ES) hopefully a W but will depend whether or they are in the running to make finals or not so hard to say at this stage.

[Topdog]

Hawks need 4 teams to drop 2 games and another 2 to drop 1 while they win all 4. They have essentially no chance of making the finals

Good

Brisbane didn't fire a shot in Perth. Should be a percentage booster

The remaining sides will be a challenge. Hopefully Hawthorn's run comes to an end before the final round and they shut up shop, but the Port & GWS games will be red hot. Hoping our home ground advantage helps us beat at least one

They didn't take a side to Perth capable of winning. They 'managed' Hipwood, Berry and McLuggage. McStay missed with a shoulder and Zorko was suspended. Would expect them to be far more competitive this week with all 5 coming back.

Yep, they are a different kettle of fish at home and selected a very weak side accordingly yesterday. They will be difficult to beat next week and we'll need to be 100% on.

Brisbane is a danger game, they only went to Perth for frequent flyer points "The Lions will welcome back star midfielder Dayne Zorko from a one-week suspension after he was banned for striking Carlton midfielder Sam Petrevski-Seton in Round 18.*!Exciting key forward Eric Hipwood is also in line for a recall, alongside promising first-year pair Hugh McCluggage and Jarrod Berry, while key defender Dan McStay has recovered from a minor shoulder injury.*!

All 4 are winnable if we maintain yesterday's intensity. Any team that drops away gets rolled these days.

If you want to get excited have a look at Adelaide's premiership defence in 1998. Most of the season they were stumbling and bumbling along at barely 50% W/L ratio but hit some form late to get to the finals with a 13-9 record. And then proceeded to win the flag from 5th spot

Fagan said they have targeted their remaining home games to knock off a few scalps, so they have managed they players accordingly.

Expect a real fight on our hands.

The West Coast loss is the glaring one that may eventually cost us.

[Ozza]

The West Coast loss is the glaring one that may eventually cost us.

Go the saints this week.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

The West Coast loss is the glaring one that may eventually cost us.

Even if all else goes well for the remainder of the H&A season, that loss might cost us Top 4.

[bornadog]

Even if all else goes well for the remainder of the H&A season, that loss might cost us Top 4.

Twice we lost by 8 and 7 points.

That last time, the umpires killed us with two stupid free kicks - The Bont for a dangerous tackle, rubbish. The next kick they got another free for holding the man in the contest, again rubbish.
