Perhaps its an open flag as they say, or perhaps its not?
Who can win it outside the top 4? Richmond? possibly, you have to believe we can and back the boys in 100%

Last year riding high on an emotional driven game plan Port Adelaide were able to:

Finish 5th on the ladder with 14-8 win/loss

Some of their close losses:
Lose narrowly to Sydney at the scg by 4 pts
Lose to the bombers at adelaide by 2 pts
Lose to collingwood at the mcg by 6 pts
Lose to freo in perth at perth by 8 pts

Finals campaign:
beat richmond by 57 points at home
beat fremantle by 22 points in perth
lost to hawks by 3 points at mcg (eventually premiers)

Thats as close as ive seen a team outside the 8 go for it for a few years anyway.

Our game style is not emotion driven, there is a maturity about our team. Experience in finals and a resolve to not let themselves down again.
We have the quality mids, fwds and backline and on our given day we will trouble anyone.

If we can get passed North this weekend our confidence will grow and we will settle mentally. We will be in it up to our eyeballs.

We should beat north and I'm pretty confident of beating sydney the week after in Sydney.

Might play Hawthorn to make the big dance???

Time to be positive for the rest of the week lads.

We can beat North, we can win every game including the GF, dependent on the Richmond team that turns up on the day. That's my only worry....

If we had beaten the Crows, Dees, Dockers, Eagles when really we should have then this would be in the bag for mine. But the silly slip ups along the way puts doubt in my mind for this game.

I think this week is a 50/50 proposition, unfortunately. We are playing a team that made a prelim' last year. They also play a brand of footy that seems to open us up like few teams can.

Got to get past Sunday first (touchwood :pray) but if we were to pull off a miracle, then no one will be able to say we didn't earn it, with us needing to win two interstate finals to make Grand Final day.

EF: North @ MCG
SF: Swans @ ANZ or Freo @ Subiaco
PF: West Coast @ Subiaco
GF: Back home @ MCG

The only positive is we've had a good recent record at Subiaco  :-\.

Its West Coasts flag IMHO. They beat us at the G, I cant see how we can beat them on there own ground. Ill be happy if we win on Sunday. It will mean a very successful year. Load up the list with some new talent and roll the dice in 2016.

Yep very impressive West Coast. Have come from no where too. The fact they have a week off to freshen up is frightening .

Theoretically we could play in Perth two weeks in a row . Can't see the Swanies winning though .

If we were any chance IMO it was through the Hawks at the G. Eagles very good chance to win the flag. Just win Sunday and I think we will be a good show against Sydney (assuming they lose). Amazing year if we just got that far.

We were never beating the Eagles that night - we did well to stay in touch. Eagles have been good all year and that night I realized they were a genuine top 4 side.

Have always thought (though have kept it to myself) Win Sunday We are a really good show for a prelim final

Have also been of the belief the winner of last night's game would win the flag, haven't changed that view. It's just a different team now
