There are many scenarios left to play out, however, the first thing we need is for Melbourne to beat Collingwood on Friday night. Not just for us, but for Football.

The reality is we have won three of our last 8 and the wins were against 16,17 and 18 on the ladder.

We need to bring all that we brought yesterday and them some to have a chance against Ross and SOS who would love nothing more........

Pies would need to put an absolute cricket score on Melbourne, then hope that the same happens to us or Hawthorn.

The result of this game does not matter, the Pies are out.
A 100pt win by the Pies would only be 5% at the most.
The Saints would also have to beat us by 100pts for there to be any resemblance of a chance and neither of those are happening in singularity let alone both.

Not really enough for them to go out and go hard for the win.

Yes if the Dogs beat the Giants then I expect Freo to beat Port.
Even if the Giants win and Port are playing for a home final I'd still back Freo to win at home.
Either way I think we have to beat St Kilda.

I think they'd have the advantage but you never know.
We need to win regardless, can't try and leave it up to fate like 2022.

There is no advantage other than Ross sticking his finger up at us for them to try and win, in fact it will slide them down 2 picks in the draft if they win and Melbourne lose.
Suns should win, so it will be a slide from pick #5 to #7.

I think having a smaller team gave us the same ability on the weekend, we just have to be more damaging with the ball, we missed too many opportunities.
Plus playing on a smaller ground might not be to our detriment with a shorter, quicker team on the park.

Durdin was the buzz in the forwardline. He will miss this week.

The other thing which was noticed was the energy of the players was really high.
They may have had an easy week on the track because we got plenty of players pressing forward for 4 quarters.

I will go and watch the replay now.

Other than the goal he kicked, I don't think Motlop gave us any buzz yesterday. He hasn't been damaging. He's not tall either :wink:

Hollands boys were amazing with their energy and support. They aren't tall.

I get what you mean about going too tall, but if Harry and Charlie are available, what would you do and what do you think the MC will do?

I'm expecting Harry to be back.

They are great to watch. They move the ball quick.
Their 3 KPFs are scary good.

Harry replaces Durdin and Fantasia replaces Motlop - keep Moir as sub.
