Yeah agree. If we can win week one then I like our chances against the Cats (if they lose first up) week two. A preliminary final would be great from where we have come. I have a feeling Goddard is gonna light it up come September.Tom_Sainter wrote:I think we will beat Carlton this week, we have the advantage of having something to play for, the blues can't finish higher than 5th.

Tim Watson and Andy Maher share the award for Flog of the Day.
On SEN this morning they were discussing 3 Melbourne finals as if it is already settled that there will be a final in Sydney!
I wasn't aware the odds for a Carlton win were so short!

Collingwood West Coast will be at either 2.30 or 4.10 start to allow the Eagles to get home Saturday night.
But if we play Sydney at 7.10 or 7.30 it means either Sydney or us has to fly home Sunday not Saturday night.
A fair solution would be a 2.30 start for the Eagles game and maybe a 5.15 start to our game, which means no overlap and an early enough finish for a flight home Saturday night (tight though due to the 11pm curfewin Sydney - easier if the game is in Sydney).

If both Sydney and St Kilda won their matches and Sydney were to score 27 more than St Kilda and concede 57 less – thus winning by 84 more points, the AFL would have a dilemma on its hands.
Possible scenario –
Sydney 23.10-148 v Brisbane 7.4-50 – margin 98
St Kilda 19.7-121 v Carlton 16.11-107 – margin 14
The final ladder would look something like
P W L D F A % Pts
St Kilda 22 12 10 1 1926 1718 112.107 50
Sydney 22 12 10 1 1926 1718 112.107 50
Both would finish on the same number of points for and against with the same number of wins.
So who finishes 6th and have the "home" final?
Would it be Sydney because they defeated St Kilda at their only meeting this year?
If there was to be a pre-elimination final to decide – where would it be held – and this would push all the finals back one week – and the GF to October 8th?

It also applies to teams outside the 8 with respect to draft pick order.
My guess is that they haven't a plan, and will make it up on the run per normal.
Yep they are a disgrace not having a plan for exactly the same %.

What you think plugger?
Do YOU think they have a plan for it?
I've never heard it being discussed/mentioned ever.
Yes they do have a plan. They toss a coin. It is the only option as silly as it sounds. Actually changed my mind I think it is previous performance against each other.saintspremiers wrote:Fancy you of all people coming out and saying that!plugger66 wrote:Yep they are a disgrace not having a plan for exactly the same %.
