Scenario: Adelaide needing to thump us to make the 8!
Assuming the Pies, Tigers go down on Friday and Saturday, and the Eagles beat GC on Sunday, come 3.45pm (ie quarter time in our game), Adelaide will know the percentage boost needed to make the 8.
West Coast can put it to bed by flogging GC of course, but could be a good day in front of the live ladder!
Once again highlights the need to play as many games as possible at the same time in the final round each year.

I dont think it will make any difference at all considering the game would have been going nearly 2 quarters.

Re: Scenario: Adelaide needing to thump us to make the 8!
Doesn't our game start at 3.20 so at quarter time the WCE game would be over, ie our game would only be 25% not 50% complete.plugger66 wrote:saintspremiers wrote:Well plugsie if they need to win by 100 points say to make the 8 whattya reckon???plugger66 wrote:saintspremiers wrote:Yes because it may involve the game we are playing in.plugger66 wrote:Does it matter to saints supporters?

Re: Scenario: Adelaide needing to thump us to make the 8!
If it means that the Eagles get booted out of the finals then we should help.
But it is Lenny's last game so I am sure the boys will put up a good contest.

It matters because we don't be on the end of a thumping against Adelaide......

I am sure you meant Adelaide armchair critics.
You must have loved 2008 matrix. Adelaide crowing (pun intended) about being top four (even some suck "expert" interviewer after their game congratulating them all on being top four), then we get over Essendon by 100 points to just pip the Crows.
The angst on the Bigfooty Crows forum was hilarious.
Oh it was a special day.

Re: Scenario: Adelaide needing to thump us to make the 8!
i was a that bombers game
came over on my own and can remember sitting there high fiving strangers as we slowly creeped up on knocking those crows out
great day
crows supporters at work have decided its all over
i mentioned that i said this 8 weeks ago and now you might as well have finished bottom to get a better pick
finishing 9th will get them diddly squat

Re: Scenario: Adelaide needing to thump us to make the 8!
The Crows getting in to the 8 on % over Eagles seems a highly unlikely scenario
On form you would think the most likely outcome is
1. Eagles make 8 on % over Crows (Tiges and Pies both lose) <most likely>
2. Eagles lose and the Crows make it on % (over Tiges and Pies who both lose)
3. One of the Pies or Tiges gets up and makes it outright
4. (Tiges and Pies both lose) Eagles just scrape in over Suns and then Crows thump Saints (80+ points) and Crows get in over Eagles on %. <least likely>

Re: Scenario: Adelaide needing to thump us to make the 8!
What if West Coast win by 20 or 120. It will vary depending on who wins other games and by how much. They will be hoping WCE, Pies and Tigers all lose, which is possible, then a 1 point win over us will do.SainterK wrote:82 points I think I heard?

Re: Scenario: Adelaide needing to thump us to make the 8!
So many variables here:
If West Coast had a very narrow win, say 74 - 73
And we scored 50 points.
Adelaide would need to score 130 points to make it on percentage (assuming Richmond and Collingwood lose)

Re: Scenario: Adelaide needing to thump us to make the 8!
yup
it gets tricky
youd think swans and hawks would get up
so lets tick those boxes
so west coast to win at gc
youd think so seeing as there is a chance they could play finals
either way i cant see the coast or the crows doing anything if either make it so its just getting a final spot to get some extra coin to the club really

Re: Scenario: Adelaide needing to thump us to make the 8!
I hate to say it, but Adelaide are flat track bullies - seem to thump a lot of the bottom teams on their own deck .
There are always exception to the rule. just hope this week is one of those exceptions.

Re: Scenario: Adelaide needing to thump us to make the 8!
Holy smokers!
Tomorrow may not matter
Tiggers up by 33!
If both games were stopped now we would have:
Hawks v Freo
Swans v Cats
Port v Bombers
North v Tiggers

OK So the 8 is settled!
Swans v Freo
Hawks v Geelong
Port v Tiggers
North v Bombers
Saints v Crows and Eagles v GC are now dead rubbers.
