You guys have got to be kidding, ie: Win games and the ladder will take care of itself.
Of course it will if you think like that, we will win the same amount as Sydney and finish below them and play an interstate final against them in Sydney...brilliant. Percentage must become a factor that Ross needs to consider from here on in to give ourselves the best possible chance at going deep in September.

sydney have an easier run home than us, if we beat them then we will gain and they will lose % (old fashioned 8 point game in premiership and % points). hate to say it, but i hope essendon rolls them this week. essendon won't catch us as they are a win & 8% behind and they won't win two more games than us with their run. very likely our first final will be against sydney, just a matter of where.

Sydney also play Geelong at Skilled, likely to be a percentage killer for them... but yes, we absolutely have to beat them in R22 to guarantee a home final.Rosco wrote:sydney have an easier run home than us, if we beat them then we will gain and they will lose % (old fashioned 8 point game in premiership and % points). hate to say it, but i hope essendon rolls them this week. essendon won't catch us as they are a win & 8% behind and they won't win two more games than us with their run. very likely our first final will be against sydney, just a matter of where.
