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.

I just want Essendon* to lose to Norf regardless of how it affects us or anyone else.

What's really interesting is that our preferred winners change depending on whether we are looking up or down the ladder...
e.g. To stay in the 8, we need to win 2 but would be helped if GWS lose to Port (even if we win, we still want GWS further down so we can get a home final). BUT, there is still a possibility that if we win all 3 remaining games, and Port or Bris or Melb lose all 3, we could jump into the top 4. In which case, it is better for us if GWS beats Port...

Having said that, I think it is unlikely any of the top 4 lose all three remaining games.

The most likely would be Melb, but we'd need the Hawks to do us a big favour there.

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.

Well said.

Even during our losing stretch, there were plenty of signs we were good enough to win games if not for some ultra bad kicking for goal from our, KPD's.
Against the Hawks it was obvious we had continued the same attack we showed vs Eagles and it was different: good different.

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.


Hang on, but I win more money from Carlton supporters more than any other.

From BF: There has only ever been 2 teams to win 5 games in a row by 50 points or more in a season, both went on to win the premiership.

What's the difference between St Kilda FC and a bra?

The bra has two cups.

I'm not sure we should get too caught up in those stats.

It's a very odd year in football.

Expect the unexpected I think.

Blues haven't made the finals yet.

Another useless stat Curnow and Weiters are the only 2 players to play all 20 games.
This is the lowest of every team in the comp.
Most sides have between 6 to 8 that hadn't missed
