    Wouldn't that get the blood pumping before finals.

    Re: The Run Home - explain how we miss finals

    I think it was mentioned last time but theres an extra game this year so 13 wins doesn't guarantee top 8.

    I still think Geelong will make it so that means one of us, saints, crows or Bombers will miss. Our game against essendon could be an 8pter

    Might depend where their season is at. I want them locked in to finals before that game so there is no potential for it to be a Hawkins farewell party.

    I've been cleared to continue posting.

    In all seriousness I really liked what I saw from the boys on Saturday afternoon. It was a very good win.

    Lol. I admire your optimism azabob.

    We have as much chance of beating them on their own shit-heap as I have of claiming a tax deduction for the $300m that has already been ploughed into that pork-barrel marginal electorate pissant toy ground with no wings.

    I'm 50/50 on that Freo one but think they'll get us over here. Richmond at Marvel is getable.
    Some of you guys are hard core pessimists dragging us down!!!

    It's definitely got a left wing.

    If we can win 2 of our next 3 we'll be giving ourselves a good shot at making the 8. I think the next 3 are most critical. Especially the essendon game.
