Re: Your Final 8 Prediction

If we can get that result and win, probably Sydney in Sydney. So a narrow win of course!

Re: Your Final 8 Prediction

The best we can hope for now is a 6th place finish and a home final against the road kill Eagles.

For the run home,
North have the hardest run - WB (50/50), Hawth (25/75), Swans (25/75) & GWS (40/60). Best 1-3, worst 0-4.
WCE have Freo (50/50), GWS (10/90), Hawth (30/70) & Adelaide (25/75). Best 1-3, worst 0-4.
We have North (50/50), Coll (60/40), Ess (95/5) & Freo (40/60). Best 4-0, worst 1-3.

The Hawks have all but sewn up top spot and an MCG Qualifying final.

That leaves posies 2 to 5 up for grabs, with Geelong, Adelaide, Sydney and the Giants unlikely to lose another game between them. Therefore percentage will decide it, and that's bad news for the Swans.

Geelong play Essendon, Richmond, Brisbane & Melbourne - 4 probable massive wins. (Currently 133%).
GWS play Gold Coast away, WCE home, Freo home & NM away. (Currently 142%).
Crows play Essendon, Brisbane, Freo away, Port & WCE at home - 2 massive % boosters there, but they are a bit behind the others (Currently 128%).
The Swans get Freo away, Port home, Saints away, NM in Hobart & Richmond at home. (Currently 134%).

That leaves the likely final ladder looking like....

1 Hawthorn 19-3
2 GWS 17-5
3 Geelong 17-5
4 Crows 17-5

5 Swans 17-5
6 WB 14-8
7 WCE 13-9
8 NM 13-9

Wait for the meltdown if the handbaggers get GWS at spotless.
We must get 5 or 6

Yes that is ideal which would give us a home final. Would be better to play the Eagles here than the Crows. The Crows here or over there will be tough. Eagles over there tougher but not impossible. To be in with a very outside chance for the 4 we must win the next two games.

1 Hawthorn 19-3
2 GWS 17-5
3 Geelong 17-5
4 Crows 17-5

5 Swans 17-5
6 WB 14-8
7 WCE 13-9
8 NM 13-9

Would love that outcome.

Means we get a week 1 win against the Eagles, then likely meet Geelong at the MCG in week 2 and the Hawks at the MCG in week 3.

Swans beat up on NM, play the Crows away in week 2 who then play GWS in week 3.

Dogs v GWS...bring it on.

I'd especially love our boys to give some back to Geelong this year.

Anyone think there's a chance we miss the 8?

1 more win has us pretty much locked in.

We still have to play Essendon and Freo.

I'm not worried.

No. But any more injuries and we are just making up the numbers.
