Finals Chances

[gerkin greg]

Some one stole my bread roll and my Norpramin 

[Jackstar is back!!!]

for whats its worth , I beleive we can win all 3.
need to contain Pav this week,
Essendon we can handle with superior onballers
Port we will beat.

Funny things happen in footy.
This season could be one of them

also club must think we are still a little hope, as Jake King needs to get his knee fixed and they are still playing him.
Guarantee if we lose this week, you wont see Jake again this year

This thread should be immediately renamed to "WHAT IF".

Although I still find myself clinging to that 5% chance of finals...There is a part of me that wishes Freo wins on the weekend so I can have some sweet relief.

Who is on Jacks account

We wont beat Freo this weekend but if we can win against Essendon and Port then we would have cemented our improvement over last season.

Agree if we do that I think our season will have been a success on last years.

Season has already been a success on many levels regardless of what happens in the next 3 weeks.  Lots of areas to work on but lots of improvement that we can genuinely build on.

PETER PAN

As Pope posted on here, there's only one semi-realistic combination left in the remaining three rounds that can see us sneak into the finals. It relies on us winning all 3 remaining games and 5 other matches doing us a favour.

Round 21
Geelong vs St Kilda ........ need the Cats to win.......[tick]
Essendon vs Carlton ....... need Essendon to win. These games have a habit of upsets and going against form.
Fremantle vs Richmond ...... obviously we need to win otherwise it's season over.

This would see us still two games outside the Eight but we'd at least be above Carlton on % so we would no longer have to worry about them. We'll know if the results of those other two games have gone our way by the time we run out onto Subi.

8. Essendon    48 
9. Fremantle    44
10. St Kilda     40 (superior %)
11. Richmond  40
12. Carlton      40

Round 22
Richmond vs Essendon
North Melbourne vs Fremantle ....... Need North to keep on winning.

8. Essendon    48
9. St Kilda       44
10. Richmond  44
11. Fremantle  44
12. Carlton      44

The Blues play the Suns so they could gain some % but even if they were to win by 100 pts we'd still have superior %. Jumping ahead of Freo is one less team we'd have to worry about.

Round 23

All 5 sides should go into the final round playing for the last spot in the finals. This scenario would make it the best end to the H/A season since the dramatic 1987 one when simula.

Essendon vs Collingwood ..... the Pies should win going for a top 2 spot and home final.
Carlton vs St Kilda ..... need the Blues to win.
Richmond vs Port 

Our game would start at half-time of the Blues vs Saints. So we'd be spending the first half our game listening for updates from Etihad.

8. Richmond    48
9. Essendon    48
10. Fremantle  48
11. Carlton     48
12. St Kilda     44

Easy! lol


Back to reality and we'll most likely lose this week to Freo, it's 50/50 against Essendon and we should beat Port comfortably. That'd give us 10-11 wins and a top 10 draft pick to springboard off into 2013.

One down
