But seriously, knowing our luck we'll:

Beat E-girls away in first final
Beat Crows away in second final
Beat Shitney away in prelim

Then get beaten by 10 goals in GF by Dawks
I'd be delighted if we made the semis this year.

Of course we can.
If Warney can pick up Liz Hurley, a flag from 7th/8th is simple by comparison!

Only way we can is if we win our remaining h & a games and hope for perfect results giving us a top 4 finish.

Based on today's effort we can and can't.

That first quarter was terrific and play like that and we will easily do it.

The second quarter was shithouse. Play like that and well lose to melbourne

Any team with a chance of making the eight can win the flag.

The chance we will from outside the top 4 is sweet FA buddy.

If you don't understand that you need help sorry.......


Very stupid answer.


If you think we can't win from outside the top 4, then your answer is, "no, we can't win the flag this year."

I'm asking for your opinion, not for the mathematical ratio of probability.

If you don't understand that you need help, buddy.

I wonder if those 10 deluded ones still think we have a chance?

Do you still?

Almost NO Chance. Especially given there will be at least 1 interstate pre-lim.

My logic is that at best - we finish 7 or 8th.

Finish 1 & 2 and you are a serious contender
Can anyone win it from 3-4? - Yes
Can anyone win it from 4-6? - Highly unlikely
Can anyone win it from 7-8 - Almost no chance
Can anyone win it from outside the 8 - Obviously not.

I actually think we have had a good season considering. There were some good signs yesterday and I think we are well placed when you look at our draw. By that I mean that we have a good opportunity to win 13 games to make the 8. If we can't win the games we need to from here then we don't deserve to be there in the first place.

i think the pack is starting to seperate. i hope its not, but deep down i think someone in the top 4 will win it. gap will become apparent closer to finals.

as much as we didn't play particularly well yesterday, the group showed great resiliance, and drive yesterday....

I think we would have made a good finals push had we have gotten a few of our closer games, earlier this season, over the line...

however, i think we are just in too weak a position to make any finals noise, if we DO make the 8 it will be on the back of some of the hardest taxing games of footy right at the wrong time of the year...

We have to win every game bar one to make finals, probably, and that seems unlikely....

We in finals form, but paying for early mistakes... C'est la vie

What will be interesting is that about 5 sides will probably be awaiting the results of the last round to see if they play finals or not, similar to the top 4 order too, good for the competition and general footy fans.

Definitely can win the flag for the best of the leftovers (those that don't make the final 8)
