cats v dogs in 1st round of finals. good or bad for stk?
would it be good or bad for us to meet cats in a prelim?
assuming in the next 8 games, we win the same (or one fewer than Geelong, given our %,) it seems highly likely geelong plays cats in the 1st round of the finals.
IMO, bulldogs are a real chanmce to knock them off. If we win 1st round (most likely v Coll or Adelaide ), this could set up a prelim v cats.

We need to met them at least once to win a flag. I would prefer that to the GF than a prelim.saint08 wrote:would it be good or bad for us to meet cats in a prelim?

exactly my concern. I hope they beat the dogs. Don't want to play them in a PF, and have to come up a week later v another team in the GFplugger66 wrote:We need to met them at least once to win a flag.

Here's hoping the interstate clubs; Brisbane and Adelaide win as many of their remaining matches and take one or both of the two remaining top 4 positions. Western Bulldogs have a very tough run home and I just learnt tonight that they have only managed victory against one current top 8 side this season so it isn't past the realms of possibility that they miss the qualifiers altogether.

Doggies actually match up really well on the Cats, so could expect a tight one if they were to come up against each other
The cats were really pushed by the dogs a few weeks back!
And i concur with the hope of an interstate team making fourth... Means they would have to travel... Plus i dont know if im the only one who would feel a tad nervous playing Collingwood week one of finals??

Not necessarily - if Geelong finish 2nd and lose their Qualifying Final and then lose their Semi Final then they are out and we will not have to play them at allplugger66 wrote: We need to met them at least once to win a flag.

yeah agree with that.
Long way to go yet.
Anything could happen, injuries etc. A couple of clubs could struggle, or a couple could get a run on.
Just worry about next week.
