I'm no maths genius but I think a 63 point win will get us to 107%
85 might be correct.

I won't be making any appointments with the waxing salon until after the results come in.

You're looking a lot safer after tonight.

Phew. We could have all dodged quite a bullet.

However, Who said you were allowed to wax first anyway?

Think I'm going to reassess my Sunday arvo plans now. Mind you there's not much to do with isolation.

Look if we can kick 12 in the first quarter

pre-game 'fantasy ladder' (based on above results)

see below...

Basically, we need to win both games.
We need Scum to beat Melbourne.
We need Saints to beat GWS
We need Bulldogs to lose one game.
And we need our points differential to be around 30 points better than Dogs.

We don't need to beat Adelaide by 10 goals. A 30 point win should do it with a narrow win over Brisbane and the Dogs breaking even over their games against Hawks and Freo (ie 10 point win over Hawks, 10 point loss to Freo)

Problem is my friend, we can't rely on Scum to beat Melb - that's why it was so important the result was different last night.
I'm still more optimistic of the Collingwood-fadeout option but a truckload of goals won't hurt either.

_________________
Que Sera, Sera

There's 6 teams chasing 3 spots.
All options are still open.
We can go as high as 6th
Saints can go as low as 11th.
We can make it without beating Brisbane.
No one result knocks us out (yet) and can be overcome by other results being favourable.
Keep the faith!!

I think we will rue the loss to Hawthorn. Bottom 4 side, 5 goal to zip start and we blew it

Well here we are.

As an eternal Optimist and Navy Blue through & through, when I went looking for a silver lining on a dog turd after we lost to GWS I did the math and actually found one!

So hence I started this thread.

Whatever happens, THANK YOU to all the visitors and contributors here.
It's been a fun ride.

There's been things to look forward to...



...errrr, maybe ?

And lots of support...









So if it ends today, so be it.

But thanks again all for taking part.

and

CARNA MIGHTY BLUES!!!!!

It can't end tonight.
We're like the Terminator, keeps coming back.
Even if we go down to Crows, we're still in it.
It just gets harder.

Close the thread its over

So if the dogs lose this week what needs to happen next week for us to make it?

Collingwood, GWS, Bulldogs and Melbourne to all be struck simultaneously with COVID.
