Friday night - win and we are in the 8

Post: # 1916530Post lewdogs »

Apparently our game against Carlton will be moved to Friday night.

And bizarrely, after all the results went our way today we would be 8th if we win.

That is an amazing stat if true. We - and the gods of footy - have been doing everything to try to avoid us playing finals this season.

Will Marshall be available or does he still have quarantine time to serve? Does the game being moved to Friday night prevent it?

Marshall will be out of quarantine on Tuesday or Wednesday.

Wow. Won’t last long in the eight if we were to win though. Our percentage is very poor

Should have put Steele on Kelly early in our game.
And Long should have got that goal.
And Kent. It wasn't a hard angle.
Pre-game warm up, I saw them nail almost every shot at goal. Only missed a few

We could still fall in if we win 3 more games because none of GWS, Essendon or Richmond are certainties to make it.

The Swans game is the key game. They all are from here.

Making the 8 however might be another false dawn as we are clearly not good enough at the present.

All plausible except for our choking in every game with a clear prize on the end. You hope Carlton are terminally dispirited by now and Teague is thinking f it. But if we lose a game we should win by 60 points, truely I couldn't feign surprise. In the 8 for 24 hrs would be nice, though a cruel tease.

You would hate to be a team that finishes 9th every year. You would never recover from that.

Talk to Richmond about that.


The Saints are under review, will it make any difference to the underachievers ?

% will kill us, getting rolled over by WB, Ess, Richmond will result in missing finals and no one to blame but themselves . Either got ahead of themselves ( which i tend to think happened) or weren't fit enough post pre season. Losses of that size are effort things not tactics.

We blew our last realistic finals hopes against Port, can't see us reeling off 4 wins in a row to make it now.

Questions over Carlton's performance

Copping Carlton on a rebound could very well be painful this Friday.

What about us? We won't be poor three games in a row. We're due. We'll get a few back this week. Focus has to be on a four quarter effort.

I’d be real worried for our future if we didn’t easily take care of Carlton.

The bookies have us as $1.50 favourites and Carlton got flogged by the wooden spooners last week.

If we lose this might as well just pack the club up.
