We're playing the Bombers week one.
Even if we drop 2 more games for the rest of the year, the Bombers (would need to beat Eagles at Subiaco) or Swans (would need to beat Cats at Skilled) would have to pull off huge upsets to leapfrog us in 6th spot ...
So the good news is that we are now likely to have a home final, and certainly it should be at Etihad.
The (bad/good?) news is that Essendon is now a 95% chance to be our opponent in that first final ...
Essendon would have to lose to the Eagles (likely) and lose to Port Adelaide at Etihad NOT to finish in 7th ... (or the Swans would have to beat us AND the Cats at Skilled)

Yes its looking Essendon in the 1st week of the finals
If we beat Sydney then they will need to win both of their last two games against Geelong at Skilled (fat chance) and Brisbane in sydney to finish 7th - Essendon play West coast in Perth and Port in Melb - if sydney lose 2 of their last 3 games then Essendon only need to beat Port to stay above them
Sydney could still finish 6 or 7 if they beat us - massive game this week
North still have an outside chance of making it given their run in but I reckon Freo are gone (North vs Freo next week at Etihad - Freo then have the Pies and North have us)

If the Swans win next week then the most likely scenario is us still finishing 6th (unless we get flogged), Swans 7th and Bummers 8th. Should we tank it?saintspremiers wrote:Sydney need to beat us by about 70 points to leapfrog us next week.
In all seriousness, I like us against the Bummers come finals (different type of game) and I like us against them at the 'G' compared to Etihad.

It is something the coaches have to think about.stevie wrote:I posted thus query on another thread last week but it got buried:
If we have 6th sown up by Rd 24, should we rest some guys v carlscum? I'm sure Big Ben needs one.
Or we could just 'tune up' like we did v crows last year
Thoughts?
Bombers have a bye rnd 24, thats the interesting part.
So if positions are locked the bombers have 2 whole weeks to prep for a finals match against us. I think that is a huge advantage .

Do you back us to certainly give it a good shot say second week against the Eagles? Carlton yes however unsure about the Eagles.plugger66 wrote:I know we shouldnt worry about any side outside the top 5 but if i was thinking about winning the first final I would rather Sydney any day of the week. Have no idea why we wanted them to lose today. I suppose it has happened so who cares.

Stevie commented :
Essendon have a bye that week, so they will be coming in to the finals "refreshed."
If 6th spot is consolidated by then, I would favour using the Carlton match as a "tune-up" as per the Crows last year. Yes, rest a couple if needed.If we have 6th sown up by Rd 24, should we rest some guys v carlscum? I'm sure Big Ben needs one.
