Would you prefer to finish 3rd or 4th?

I'm with you just finishing top 4 is a much better position than 5th or 6th i just hope we don't lose first week and have to play Carlton who has got the better of us recently

My sentiments exactly.

if we finish 3rd we have beaten collingwood so 3rd for me.

The fundamental question of 3rd vs 4th should be about which scenario represents our best possible chance of winning a QF, not about which scenario gives us the best possible chance of winning our SF if we happen to lose the QF. Based on this year's results, and the form line/injury list of our likely opponents, playing Geelong would undeniably represent the better chance for us to proceed directly to a PF. But at the end of the day, neither opponent is going to roll over and let us tickle their tummy, so we simply have to perform at or near our optimum on the day to give us the best chance of winning. The reality is that we'll more than likely need to beat both teams at some stage in order to win the flag.
