Saints win

We're now 10th

Balta and Cumberland take note.

Cumberland for being young and inexperienced. Balta for being a goose.

Melbourne turned up to play against Freo tonight. No way do the Dockers make top 4 on their current form. They can't move the ball and score enough with their forward line. Sadly don't see them getting near the Dogs next week at Marvel when we need Freo to do us a favour.

Tonight also shows how poor we were forward of centre all game last week and in the contested footy after half time. We keep  ordinary teams in games and pay for it.

The only way we are making finals is if we win all 4 remaining games.

Can’t see dogs beating cats in selwoods 350th, so this is our only chance to get back in.

Drop one more and it’s over.

Agree that this is it.  But you know what - I'd rather lose & be done with it! 

Otherwise we scrape into the 8 only to bow out in a week or two - like Geelong do.
We bring in a few half cooked retirees just to stay in contention - like Geelong do.
We play finals every year but never taste success - like Geelong do!
We rack up multitudes of members, only to rip them all off - like Geelong do! 

I really don't want to be the new Geelong - the bridesmaid of the AFL ... 

Skyrockets zoom upwards with little fanfare, then they explode releasing showers of light & color.  Everybody looks up in wonder & admiration, waiting for more ...

I'd rather be a skyrocket ... I can wait ... its totally worth it!     

Re-build & do it properly, no short cuts or patch ups.  Do the hard yards & build a new skyrocket, then light the fuse & step back ...

If we don't win tomorrow we may as well tank the rest of the games tbh

Either make finals and have a red hot go or tank for a better pick

[Francois Jackson]

respect your opinion JP, but i dont agree. Once upon a time i may have.

we arent the RFC of old. Finals are great for the kids, and would be even an better send off for some of our players, if we can knock of one of the arch enemies in a cut throat elimination final.

Furthermore, us members have had a poo year with our club so it would ne nice to finish on a high in finals.

Tanking is for bums. Lambo, Short, Grimes, Nank, didnt come from tanking.

[one-eyed]

Pies win another close one by a kick although this time around they had to hang on after leading by as much as 4 goals in the last quarter. Port had their chances but missed a couple of gettable shots plus a dropped chest mark which were costly. So you'd think that's the end for Port's finals chances. Hopefully they think that way next week when we play them (provided we win ourselves tomorrow or we're basically gone as well).

Sure, I was not condoning tanking.  I agree that tanking is for bums, & we all know who they are.  That is what I meant by 'doing it properly' - ie - not by tanking!  It means finishing where we deserve to finish, a genuine & organic finish as opposed to an orchestrated one (like Geelong do!  Or Melbourne ...or Carlton ...etc).  I'm not afraid of finishing out of the 8 if that's where we deserve to be.  Facing the truth is a great lesson for all our kids & even our veterans.  Its where hunger comes from & that's the lesson we learned from our 'Ninthmond' era. 
If we happen to creep into the finals I will be here barracking away with the best, but I wont feel shamed if we miss the 8.  I wont be trying to shame the club with my outrage either.     

[Francois Jackson]

👍 fair call JP can’t argue with that.

Might not matter either way. Cats are getting smashed. Our season might be cooked tonight considering the games dogs have coming up.

[mightytiges]

Tonight is another reason to hate Geelong. Didn't turn up to play in the first quarter despite it being Selwood's 350th and gifted the Dogs a 4 goal start  .

ps. That Dangerfield stuffed up handpass to Hawkins after he marked it 25 out is something out of our brainfade playbook this year .

[mightytiges]

Crows up on the Blues and on top in general play. Carlton have a tough last 3 weeks (Bris away, Melb and Pies) so they wouldn't want to drop this one. Could potentially open another spot for either us, Dogs or the Saints.

[mightytiges]

Thanks for finally waking up Cats. Playing with the competition right now. Their flag to lose sadly. They'll be glad we stuffed up over the past month and won't be around to stop them .

Let's hope both games tonight stay the same they are now through the last quarters  .
