next week is an 8 point game!

Post: # 778049Post BackFromUSA »

if we beat the Western Bulldogs next week we cannot mathematically end up anywhere but top 2 ... we would be 6 games ahead with 5 games to play ...

if we lose, they will be 4 games behind us with 5 games to play ...

who would think that this would be an 8 point game!

Not when you are 4 clear with 6 to play

For every game of football played in the VFL/AFL the winner has received
4 points,not 8,hence ,there is no such thing as an 8 point game......


The list changes for 2025 have begun, always an interesting time for an avid supporter.

chill everyone!

i am just making fun of the 8 point game concept.

in case you haven't noticed ... we are in pretty good form and should win one or maybe two of our last six matches ... making our top 2 finish safe.

I do think it is a massive game for them though with the Saints,Brisbane (Gabba), Geelong and Collingwood to come in their last 6 games.

Don't get cocky. We aren't safely in the top 2 yet.

We might get one or two, but we'll need luck and a good run with injuries.

I say we throw the match.
One,it cements dogs in 3rd,making them the likely opponent of Geelong week one which they are every chance to beat.
Two,it will allow us to play one of either Collingwood,Adelaide,Brisbane week one.

We tank this week
