With the bombers wining today, we have a chance to place ourselves in the 8 with a win over North next weekend. Carlton follow and give us a chance to then put some distance between the top and bottom 8.
What are our chances of getting over the line at the GC? I'm still not to optimisitc
I heard someone mention that Ross had turned away from a finals focus? Are we now just running with the kids to see what can happen?
To win next weekend we have to beat two bogeys with the one game..
* Win interstate
* Win a game we arent expected to
So far we havent even been competetive out of town and have been belted pretty much every time we've played a top side.
Huge huge test. Forget the maths, if we cant win this I really cant see us making finals, as we have 2 trips to Perth and at least 2 more games against Top 8 sides
The Roos are 2 different teams. Interstate they are worse than the saints. If the game was at the MCG the Roos would win (4 wins out of 4), away from there the saints are a chance.
BUt why the hell is this "eight pointer game" contested by 2 Melbourne teams not in Melbourne.
I think the last time we played and won on the Gold Coast was 1987 ???
21 years ago !
We played, and lost, to the Bears again at Carrara in 88 and 89.
Only played them at Moorabbin in 90.
And by 91 they had moved to the Gabba.
The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.
They can even WATCH LIVE FOOTY!
