Simple if we good enough win the next two clinch top 4 anything less is choking.I won't be happy unless it's top 4
Thoroughly agree,  to even be thinking of a top 4 osition, we need to be able to have the ability to beat ANY team in the afl. If we come even close to losing the last two games, top 4 is just not worthy.

After doing the ladder predictor, I've got three scenarios.

1. We beat both Freo & St K, Geel beats GWS. We finish 4th.

QF: Loss to Adelaide at the Oval.
SF: Beat Port at the 'G
PF: Geelong at the 'G (surely not Kardinia Park  ::) )
GF: Adelaide, Sydney or GWS.

2. We beat both Freo & St K, GWS beats Geel. We finish 3rd.

QF: GWS at Spotless ....... need to win this otherwise play Swans at G' and even if we win that one we'll have next Adelaide at the Oval in the PF  :P.
PF: Geelong or Port at the 'G
GF: Adelaide, Sydney or GWS.

3. We lose one of Freo or St K. End up finishing 6th.

EF: Melbourne at the 'G  :-\.
SF: Loser of Geelong vs GWS.
PF: Adelaide at the Oval .... forget it!  :P

The only way I see us winning any final is if it's at the G. I think on our day there we can beat anyone. Adelaide and Sydney included.

4. Richmond

56 points (14 wins, seven losses), 116.7 per cent

The run home
Rd 23: St Kilda (MCG)

If the Tigers win
- They are guaranteed the double chance and could finish third if they make up the 1.6 percentage gap to GWS and the Giants lose. They will finish third if GWS beats Geelong.

If they lose
- Could drop as low as sixth if they lose to the Saints and both Sydney and Port Adelaide win, which they likely will.

Quick take: The Tigers more than took care of business against Fremantle. They were ruthless. Big Sunday finale against Saints who touched them up last time and Nick Riewoldt’s final game only adds to the occasion. But they’ll go much better than last time and on their home deck as well. Expect 75,000 to be there.

Predicted finish: Third
Predicted final match-up: Qualifying final v GWS @ Spotless Stadium

the x2 chance goes a long way for running deep in sept. the tigers really need to not flirt with form and come out firing and make nick riewoldt bawl his eyes out after losing in rnd 23.

also the only way I see Miles coming into the side who I unashamedly think is essential personnel for finals like footy is if we lost week 1 and maybe dimma will realise that you can play caddy, miles, prestia in the same team.....

So the Saints will know by the Sunday game whether they can make it or not.

That might deflate them a little, but they still have Riewoldt's last game to send him out on a high note.

If we're a fair dinkum top 4 side, we'll beat them.

Dunno but worried about their pace  :(

"Goes without saying Tigers have done SFA in recent finals. But will qualify 4 out of 5 years. Only 70s champs have done that since 1940s."

Don't know about you guys but I would feel better about playing the Giants at Spotless than the Cats at the MCG. Wouldn't be a better coming of age moment though to break our Geelong hoodoo in a QF.
