Would we prefer Port at Etihad (and not Ballarat)? Does that change our odds?

I guess we would, however, the time and investment into Ballarat means we will want to win it for not only us but show the people of Ballarat they are backing the right team.

Re: The Equation
I wonder if Stringer, Tom Boyd, Adams & Dunkley can get back soon? Morris said if we play finals, with the week break, he'd be hoping to return then if we make finals.

Re: The Equation
We win four. The one I'm worried about is next week more than the others.
Aside from games against Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide (second half), we've accounted for ourselves better intensity wise against the better sides.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

Re: The Equation
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
If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

Re: The Equation
If we win four and the eagles win four, wouldn't they finish above us on percentage?

I think the Saints will win next week, and they still have GWS and Crows to beat. Should beat Carlton

West coast Sydney and Melbourne have to win all four as well to keep us out if we win all four.

We're equal with WCE, Melb & Sydney. If we won all 4, they'd need to win all 4 to keep us out. It seems to be 3 might get us in, but 4 most highly probably gets us in that only 1 of the 12 results in the other games needs to go our way.

Re: The Equation
Port Adelaide could lose 3 of their last 4 as well meaning we could take over from them too .
Basically it's in our hands we win all 4 we are in.
