Going to be a battle to make top 8 after tonight
« on: July 26, 2015, 03:41:39 AM »
The one that got away will hurt our confidence from here on in, only 2 certainties I think in the remaining six games and that's Suns and Essendon.  Lose the next 2 and the pressure really mounts

lol....Botom line is if we can't win enough games we don't deserve to be there anyway!
If we're a top 8 side the only game we should be worried about is Hawthorn, none of the others are even in the 8!

Agree

Outside Hawthron we should win the others. Whether we do is a totally different discussion  :snidegrin

If we can't then it means we aren't good enough and don't deserve to be there

good call..
if our confidence is somehow hurt by the slip up yesterday against the ladder leaders as sugark suggests, then we dont really deserve to be there

I would say 8th or 9th after next week. The teams that can replace us are pies if they win today and next against dees.

All others like dogs cats north have easy games next week

Our biggest problem is we now play some tough competition while the teams below have second engagements with average ones

Massive loss was yesterday

It is going to be very, very tight!

Need Sydney to beat Adelaide, Geelong and Collingwood.

Need anyone playing Adelaide, Geelong, GWS and Collingwood to win!

North Melbourne and Western Bulldogs are going to make it so it's 7th and 8th place up for grabs.

Richmond, Adelaide, GWS, Geelong and Collingwood are fighting for 2 places!

Can someone put up these teams run home.

Will it be our best 9th ever or our worst?

I'm sure we'll find a way to drop a couple of those. In between carrying Newman, Cotchin kicking an enema of points and gifting the result at the death knell, it's a certainty.

lol...so many darksiders....
we go from the cusp of getting into the top 4 to dropping out of the 8 because we narrowly let slip a win against a team which has only lost 2 games thus far this year??

wow...just wow.. ::)
