Carn the Saints and Carn the Dees!!!

After they kicked their 2nd goal, I could see we weren't up for it at all...we were crap that day. That's how they beat us, same way Richmond did in Rd 7.

And just in case, carn Geelong. 6th place is now quite obtainable by Sydney so long as we win at least 3 of our remaining 4 games and Freo drop at least one, preferably two more of theirs, which is quite possible due to the fact that their remaining games are all tough (Geelong away, West Coast derby and St Kilda away). They could lose all three I want that home final bad!

6th is probably the best we can hope for. Even if the match is at the MCG I wouldn't mind and I don't think the players would mind either. After all it is September and the G is where you want to be playing.
If its against Freo all the better - it looks like they have a bad case of the Colliwobbles.

Does anyone know where a home final would be? Assuming it is not MCG would it be SCG or TS?

I hope not TS - I wasn't at the PF last year but even against Cwood I thought it was pretty lifeless - not like the SCG last week and tonight

A Sydney home final will be at Telstra Stadium. LOVE 70,000 people there and the atmosphere. Maybe it depends on where you are sitting. I just used the "Ladder Predictor" at www.afl.com.au and calculated Sydney finishing in 6th place, and with St Kilda finishing 2nd and Geelong 5th, a home final for Sydney against Essendon! Woo-hoo, bring it on. How good would it be to Sydney beat Essendon in front of 70,000 people!! I get goose bumps thinking about it.

It would be brilliant - maybe it does depend where I sit. Be nice to beat the Bombers twice in a fortnight at Telstra. But I still prefer the atmosphere at the SCG, and I think it holds a bigger advantage for us

TS is the only place we've beaten the Bombers in the last zillion years!

[ROK Lobster]

I think that that has had more to do with the quality of the two teams over past zillion years than with the venue

Carlton did their part!

Everyone is doing the right thing by us - now can we do our part!!

Note also - Collingwood can actually still make finals!!

This round has opened up positions 6 to 10 (even 12) like I wouldn't have thought possible.

We must win tonight.
