Possible home final
We need to thrash Essendon just in case the Crows beat the Dogs. It is possible we could have a better percentage than the crows if things fall the right way.

I think you'll find its a bit more than that.my les foote wrote:If Crows win we need to win by seven goals more
Based on Adelaide beating doggies 92 to 84 (their average for and against over the season)
we'd have to win 141 to 50 or better to go on top of adelaide in percentage.
Should essendon get to 55, 60, 65 & 70 pts we'd have to score 147, 152, 158, 163 etc etc.
In other words, not likely to happen.
By no means is this weeks game against essendon a done deal, they have been a bit of a bogie side to us and always seem to pull something out against us.
Does everyone remember their goal kicking last time we played them??
In order to get a home final need to rely on a collingwood loss (possibility), kangaroo loss (unlikely) and/or adelaide loss (likely) and we win.

The beauty about Round 22 is that we play last.....we'll know the exact equation on Saturday night and can make late changes if necessary - ie. if we rest a player or two with a niggle if we are locked into 7th spot regardless.super dooper wrote:I think you'll find its a bit more than that.my les foote wrote:If Crows win we need to win by seven goals more

The interesting thing is it might be in our interest to lose next week to finish 8 th and get a melbourne final against North or the Pies as opposed to away against the Swans or Crows...hard to flirt with form and we must try a beat whoever regardless.Eastern wrote:Essendon have a number of their fav players retiring. It will be emotional for them and we need to take the emotion out of it early otherwise we will be in for a dog fight !!
Think that ultimately Adel/Syd away might be around the same degree of difficulty as Collingwood/Roos at the G....
Bottomline is we must keep trying to win and let fate decide and take it from there

Never take a backward step even to gain momentum.....
