Richmond could climb into the finals at the expense of Carlton (Herald-Sun)

[1965]

Norf will cause an upset just to pee Adelaide off for next week.

Norf - forever annoying the RFC.

You do realise, I hope, that this is all your fault.

I'm an idiot, I predicted the Norf win and I backed Adelaide..

That's the second time nought/nothing of melbourne have stirred the pot a week before we play a team. Can you imagine them making finals?? Their best against "a fit" top 8 side 60 pt plus flogging. Best player is boomer harvey, have 5 members pathetic


Where tuckerbug?? Ffs cheer me up

Will never forget the countless milestone games that they have got up in against us like the Jason Mcartney comeback game etc

[Mr Magic]

Gotta keep winning.

Bunch of flogs, don't remind me of that game please
This is why in another thread I had put nth down to beat us the week after we come back from a hard game in cairns. Jees not only do they get a dream fixture, they get fed all the table scraps too. Would love to see em finish ninth again

Imagine we had their draw..

[the claw]

becoming a real dog fight between 7 sides for 7th and 8th.

have done the predictor with several different scenarios and i like most think 13 wins  will be needed.that means we must win 7 of our last 10. if we cop adelaide on the rebound apparently the whole side was flu riddled this week that will mean we have to win 7 of our last 9.

the amazing thing is a few scenarios have 13 wins not being enough will get real interesting if sides start putting the que in the rack and who plays em. its very likely percentage could play a key role.

the last rnd could well be as good as any finals. geelong v sydney could be for a place in the 8 for both or even top 4 for syd.
haw play wce hawthorn could be playing for a top 4 finish and wce a home final.
carlton play stkilda it could be for a finals berth for both teams.
ess v coll it could be for top spot and in ess case top 4.

the way i read it carlton and geelong are the 7th 8th sides but they are the  vulnerable sides  to make the 8. i have both with at least 13 wins in carltons case that is allowing for players to get back from injury.
hot on their heels are us north freo stkilda  and a smokey in brisbane.
we play freo, north, brisbane and carlton they are must win 8 point games.

Gotta keep winning.

That's the bottom line isn't it. Can't rely on other results, just win our games and we will make it.

Yep that's it in a nutshell

We cannot control what other teams do, we can't control their results

All we have control over is our games and how we play etc.

It sounds cliched but we control our own destiny no one else's but our own. That's all we need to focus on

[Owl]

If they got the flu, they still gonna be crap, especially after that game.  Hopefully North caught it off of them too.

On the way home from Harvey Norms chaddy tonight I was listening to Finey on SEN, he was talking about us and said over the last 5-10 years with the footy we've been playing we would easily make the finals. But due to the competiveness of the ladder this year we and another may miss out and it was dissapointing.

I would have just said its our luck, if it was a top 9 and not 8 we would probably end up 10th.

That may be true but if one of Carlton, Freo or Saints get that 8th position as I expect  them to do then so should we.

No excuses easy draw now while others don't

No finals with minimal injuries, i would consider this year a fail

[tigs2011]

Would have thought Norf beating Adelaide is a good thing. Form is form...Adelaide's is now poo.

If Tippett is out it helps. They've had a soft as butter draw so far. Everyone jizzed over them with the Blues win but have Carlton won since?
