Yeah, I don't think that bad a result for us. Tigers have a very easy draw. GWS have a tough one and maybe the easier target. Also, the more Melbourne teams in home final spots the better for us.

We have to play GWS too, the more they struggle the more likely we are to beat them

I believe we are a big chance at home to beat Greater Waste Of Space.

Problem for us at the moment is if results go the way they should (big if I know) I still have us missing the 8 on percentage if we lose even 1 more game game unless
a) the Eagles get smashed
b) we smash one or two teams
c) Adelaide beat West Coast at Domain in round 23
D) West Coast lose to St.Kilda at Etihad

Otherwise we need to win every game and end up 6th or something.

Hujsh C & D are highly likely.

I just done the ladder predictor and I had us finishing top spot! There were a number of upsets though

They're definitely possible but I haven't forgot that late run last year where they beat GWS and Adelaide away and looked the form team of the comp

Go Pies! Next week and the week after and the week after and the .... are HUGE.
Each "upset" that goes our way adds incrementally to the "planets are lining up" feeling. We just have to do our bit and WIN.

Carlton supporters are imploding on SEN and on Social Media.

It's time like these I wish I listened to SEN or was on social media. Who are they lining up at Carlton?

Not sure why. They are competitive most weeks and are getting valuable games into their young players. They'll finish bottom 3 again this year and get another lick of the spoon at the pointy end of the draft. I'd be very excited as a Carlton supporter for their prospects from 2020 onwards.

A meaningless match in R17 this season will not be remembered in 3 years time.

I'm thinking all four are more likely than unlikely,

Their run last year more or less correlated with the availability if Nic Nat. Given he is gone for the year it's hard to draw a line with last year's form I reckon. His absence is going to affect WC's chances from here. They have had more time to plan for it but they would like him back.
