Our best chance for finals
Obviously involves beating Richmond but looking at the different senerios I believe we should barrack for Adelaide to -night and hope like Hell that Collingwood beat them at Telstra next week...wouldn't be confident that Geelong will have an incentive to beat Brisbane at the Gabba in the last round prior to the first week of finals.We definately need Brisbane out of the equasion.
Alternatively if Sydney beat Collingwood we would be barracking for Adelaide and would replace Collingwood in the 8 ..how good would that be!
Sad it is now out of our hands but now we can only concentrate on what we have to do and keep everything crossed!!!
We will know exactly who to barrack for next week this Sunday night

Geelong are home and hsoed....while Im sure they will want to win goign into finals campaign...........a desperate Collingwood that HAS to win playing an ageing Adelaid side here in Melb just maybe tougher...
I havent alltogether discounted a Hird/Sheedy miracle in the west out also.......we had the Eagles beaten last night....
ahh.........all we had to do was stand up.....f@rk I hate this scenario..

To make matters worse Anthony Rocca just smashed Adam Goodes across the face in a marking duel. The spoil was very late and copped him right across the chops
With Rocca's record I would think he wont be playing for a few weeks
One less collingwood foward Adelaide have to contend with

bugger our % is so shocking cause if it was higher sydney could be struggling to make the finals next week against the hawks
anyone for a drink.
I wanna play the pies first week, I think we could wreak some havoc!

Re: Our best chance for finals
Not sure if you have looked at the ladder but we cannot replace the pies so we cannot support Adelaide in any way unless you want us out of the 8.saint patrick wrote:Obviously involves beating Richmond but looking at the different senerios I believe we should barrack for Adelaide to -night and hope like Hell that Collingwood beat them at Telstra next week...wouldn't be confident that Geelong will have an incentive to beat Brisbane at the Gabba in the last round prior to the first week of finals.We definately need Brisbane out of the equasion.

rocca is a bigger loss then rusling. Still back the pies. up by 28 points against the swans at 3/4 time.
looking at the ladder, hawks v sydney next week is a beauty!! Might have to go watch some foxtel at the pub next week!

thats the end of round ladder I have for rd 21.
Hawks will play sydney for the chance of top 4
collingwood could be also playing for a top 4 spot depending on other games
Surpisingly if essendon pull off the upset of the year and both sydney and adelaide lose they could make it. Both them and us would make it!
Such a wierd season!

Good. This is absolutely the wrong time to bring it up, but...Devilhead wrote:Holy crap Martin Clarke just got absolutely killed by Amon Buchanan - Front on late shirt front into the head - minimum 4 weeks
I hope he gets really out of favour with Roos and we trade for him.
We need a player of his type, and he won't cost the earth. Victorian boy.
2nd round pick would definitely seal the deal; maybe only a third would be required. Silly act tonight but RL will sort him out
Clueless and mediocre petty tyrant.
is it bad to say that in some ways I will miss watching buckley runn the wings and kick the ball. Best kick I have ever seen IMO
