The worst thing we’ve done this year is playing shocking football for at least half of every game, and Putting ourselves in this position

Hardwick's stubbornness at the selection table saw us playing 2 blokes short most of the year....and sometimes even 3-4 blokes short.... :shh

Equation to make the 8 is very simple

First is win both
And
Eagles to lose two (playing Melbourne, Fremantle and Brisbane, huge chance)
Or
Essendon to lose one (playing GC and Pies, so unlikely)

If we win our last two we should make the 8
Delaying the inevitable, but it will be a great experience for some of the non premiership Tigers

No don’t think we will Damo even if we do win both.

Druggos with their tails up will win both and beat us on %. Freo are finished.

We could beat gws, and then lose 8th spot by giving it to the druggos.

We need Melbourne to beat WC.

WC on 10 wins and have Fremantle and Brisbane.

If we win next 2 and WC only win 1 we will take WC’s place in the 8.

TBH the Trade & Draft threads are the only ones of of any real interest to me at this point, probably been the case since the loss to Fold Coast....:shh

Yes we have to win

But

We are now relying on other results to fall our way to make it.

Shouldn't be like that.

Yep. Eagles have an extra 3 on the field when they play in Perth. Geez, I wonder why they win at home and struggle away - NOT! ::).

Lightning has stopped play in this game. 
What happens if it doesn't finish.  Probably 2 points each and we miss finals.
