Finals Formula

Re: Finals Formula

OK. What about this one.

Sydney fall over and North finish 4th.

North typically play their finals on Friday nights. Let's say they roll Geelong.

The winner of the Dogs-Haw match would be rewarded with a prelim v Geelong.

Could we have teams tanking in the finals?

Gee that would be rough. The reward of a likely GF spot is a fair bit more than what club's do actually tank for. I guess if North beat Geelong in a final, you'd seriously re-evaluate how you rate each team, so perhaps it wouldn't look so bad to us then.

Oddly, this scenario would make us less likely to make a GF, but more likely to win the flag, because the Cats would be looking a lot more vulnerable.

I'd like to think that too, but I think we all know should this actually (and it won't) happen, Geelong would rebound, and hard.

Re: Finals Formula

That potential match up makes Sunday an important match up, and I feel at the moment they have the wood on us. Harvey always seems to rack them up against us



We will find out this Sunday.

So we shall. Would love to beat them Ledge, I can feel a real nail-biter like last time coming up.

Re: Finals Formula

My worry is as much as a few other Bulldog supporters, that we maybe arent fully focused on this game and could get blown away.

If we do, we lose all credibility. Should be a good finals type atmosphere tomorrow (actually all four games will be) and if we lose badly, I can see the headlines.
