Yeah it's still up in the air and I'm not even taking into account Adelaide and Essendong.

I think this is how it goes:

1 win will do it, if teams 6-11 also win 1-2 games, and if Geelong and Sydney win 2 we need better % depending on who else wins what games (currently behind Geelong but ahead of Sydney).

2 wins will mean teams 6-11 need to win all 3 and we need better % than Geelong AND Sydney.

Teams currently 5-11 are playing each other several times (Carl/GWS, Geel/StK, Geel/WBD) so unless we get more draws there will be teams in that range definitely losing games.

Other notable games
Geel play Coll this round.
GWS play Port away.

I think the Swans are a danger actually.
They play Suns at home, Adel away (who may be out of contention by then) and Melbourne at home (could be meaningless for Melbourne).

Clear as mud...


Yep that's how I see it. Swans. Can they make up 6 percentage points? Probably not. But we'd not want to lose many percentage points either.

I can get that but no I think Syd are the danger along with Cats

We should beat GC. If we can't then we don't deserve to play finals.

Nah, suns are 2.5 games behind us. They would need to win all 3 and us lose all 3 to overtake us. If we lose all 3 other teams will overtake us anyway. We want suns to beat swans but I doubt they will

That helps us too.

Then we continue our winning form in the last weekend of Home and away vs GWS at home, and have a rest and reset for the real onslaught from Carlton.

I think Cats have the harder run with all 3 against current top 8.

Swans only get 1 top 8 team and that's at home in the final round. They'll most likely get 2 non contenders assuming Brisbane beat Adelaide. They also have 2 home games out of 3.

Yeah OK. My angle was our actual game against GC would be easier for us if the suns have checked out knowing they can't make finals at all

But you're right, need the Swans to lose more.

I can't believe this thread.

Every single day the LOSER mentality of "looking behind" / who might take our spot? rears its pathetic gutless head yet again.

P.S. It's Over.

Get used to it.

I know, it was a horrible nightmare that seemed it would never end.

2002-2022

but now RIP to that.

It's done, no more 'negative' pussy-whipped loser mentality.

The Almighty Blues are BACK.

Get with the program or go home.

Interestingly, none of the chasing pack are playing each other this week. They’re all either playing top sides or bottom 6 sides, which means

Results that could go in our favour (In order of likelihood according to the bookies)

Adelaide lose to Brisbane
GWS lose to port
Geelong lose to Collingwood
St Kilda lose to Richmond
Dogs lose to Hawthorn
Sydney lose to Gold Coast
Essendon* lose to North

Edge of your seat stuff this season. The only game that’s irrelevant is the derby.
