Top 4

Re: Top 4

I'm not convinced we will DEFINATELY finish top 4. I see C'wood and Syd as major dangers, especially with c'woods easy draw AGAIN!!!

I think adel will fall off the pace a bit, so i see hawks, cats, dogs, pies and swans fighting for top 5.

I did the ladder predictor and had us finishing 6th...hope i got that wrong.

What games did you have us winning and losing to finish 6th????

Sydney will have to catch up 2 game, whilst Collingwood will have to catch up 3 games (assuming they win today!) and 4 games after we smash their pansy arses next week.

PS. where is the ladder predictor? (please don't say AFL site, please don't say AFL site, please don't say AFL site)

FWIW i had us winning against...
PORT
MELB
CARL
NMELB
ESS

and losses to
COLL
GEEL (ss)
SYD (mo)
BRIS (gab)
ADEL (aami)

and c'wood i had....
CARL -W
DOGS - W
SYD - L
ADEL - W
NM - W
ESS - W
HAW - L
STK - W
PORT (aami) - W?
SYD - W

IF we beat them next week, and they lose those 2 interstate games, we should be ok. I think i has pies and syd finishing ahead of us by those 2 pts with our draw.

Re: Top 4

I did my ladder prediction last week (no longer have a copy of it) but i had us 2nd

Sounds over the top but i think Geelong can be beaten a few times coming up..

My Top 8 was Hawks, Dogs (16-5-1), Cats, Swans, Pies, Crows, Bris, Roos

Re: Top 4

and losses to
COLL

Why???? We have beaten them comfortably the last few times, are harder at the ball, have a better midfield, a better functioning forward line.

We will beat them by 30+. They are a team I am not worried about in the slightest.

Re: Top 4

just have a fear when it comes to SMALL fwds. They have thomas, davis, didak and medhurst. I know we SHOULD beat them, but i just hate playing them, and have this feeling they will just pip us.

Wow I give Freo a lot of credit or they have an easy draw coming up.

Collingwoods draw IMO

WB = loss
Syd (away) = loss
Ade = win
NM = loss (match up well against the pies)
Ess = win
Hawks = loss
Saints = win
Port (away) = loss (could win)
Syd = win (could lose)
Fremantle = loss (maybe harsh)

I don't see where the perception that they have an easy draw comes from.

They play 3 of the top 5 teams in the next 3 weeks and could easily lose them all.

6 out of their next 10 are against top 8 sides!

No where near the top 4.

Morris, Hargrave, Gilbee, Addison, Everitt = bye bye Collingwood.

Anyway even if they do fire who is going to stop Aker, Welsh, Johnno, Cooney, Murphy and Gia?

Re: Top 4

so who do u think we will lose 2 in the coming weeks topdog?

cant see pies finishing that low with their draw.

[LostDoggy]

Re: Top 4

I dont think the Pies are a real threat and they will be showed up next week for their lack of class and talent. Guts and determination will only get you so far and i think they will get shown up against us.

Re: Top 4

In the end I don't care about other sides be they Victorian or non Victorian.
Destiny is in our own hands, if we want to win must beat all comers where ever we get the play them.
One thing for certain is I don't barrack for Victoria.

Re: Top 4

topdog..i hope your right and cwood do fall off the pace, if they beat carl today, u have them winning only 4 of their remaining 10 games...cant see that happening.

Hope your right though.

yes Ernie, our destiny is in our OWN hands.

I updated my post after you responded so I will retype it

Had us losing to Geelong and Adelaide. We could drop the game to Sydney quite easily but I'm backing us in.

We smashed Brisbane yesterday at their own game. Bradshaw and the Gabba will not make up the 63 points (which actually flattered Brisbane)
