The 2016 Premiership thread

Re: The 2016 Premiership thread

In all seriousness. When we march to the G on Grand Final day this year, I will round you all up and we will do something like this.

Re: The 2016 Premiership thread

Well, it's now passed the point of needing Bob Katter to play finals now. We are locked away with Port going down. So the first tick box of making the 8 is ticked. Now for top 6 as the next tick box.

Re: The 2016 Premiership thread

Now third with GCS without Ablett. Could've been top instead of Hawthorn, except for 60 seconds. Destiny is now in our hands, we are in the top 4 and just have to keep winning.

Adams, McLean, Dahl & Tom Boyd should make a good addition over the next 1-4 weeks.

Re: The 2016 Premiership thread

We have to win every game and we will finish in top 2. Lose one and we could be out of top 4.

Re: The 2016 Premiership thread

Yep win every game and we finish top 4 no matter what happens around us. I did the ladder predictor and had West Coke in 5th position 8 points behind. I think it highly plausible that even if we drop the Geelong or North game we can still secure a top 4 spot.

If we can finish top 4 we can win this thing. The Sydney game was a massive boost in self-belief for the run home.

Re: The 2016 Premiership thread

If we can get to a prelim in Melbourne, we're a chance.

Heck, Melbourne prelims haven't worked in the past. Maybe travelling is the answer?

Re: The 2016 Premiership thread

If we don't make top 4, we better stay ahead of West Coast. Don't want to travel there for an elimination final.

For me the top 4 will be, in no particular order, Hawthorn, Adelaide, Sydney, Geelong/GWS. Dogs, Eagles, North to round out 6-8.

But who the hell knows!

Ideal scenario would be finishing top 4, playing in Melbourne first week against Hawks or Geelong and winning, then playing in a prelim at the G against WC or GWS.

Now watch us play WC over there in the first week!

You missed on Campbell who is still our best ruck man. Adams needs to come back as we need a second key defender and this will release Suckling to play further afield. McLean's cleverness has been missed on the forward line. Dahl is a massive loss having been close to our best player until his injury. The selection of Tom Boyd may well come down to a choice between him and Redpath.

It's going to be tough deciding who goes out when those guys come back. Time starts to come into it to. Two thirds of the season is gone already.

And opposite sides of the country. Roos really has lifted that club.
