Quite frankly they were abysmal. They were lucky the umpires helped out - 5 goals from frees!

Maybe Grant Thomas accepted that in lieu of a fine/suspension.

Thankyou J.Lo!!!

3rd spot here we come. Make no mistake - this is our big chance.

[Bleed Red Blood]

That was a fantastic moment. Loved it.

A chance of third

After tonight's nailbiter, with St Kilda going down by 5 points, we are in with a show for third. We need to win the next two for the most favoured slice of the finals draw. Let's do it!

I'll watch the replay and see, but to be honest its nice to see a vic team get screwed by umpires for a change.

Also, not totally displeased to see the saints cop of few injuries leading up to the finals. They are the one team I fear in September.

Kosi, McGuire and Penny will be the end of the Saints, if indeed they are all as badly injured as we think. Gehrig looked to be in a lot of pain, too.

Wouldn't surprise me if we're 3rd favourites for the flag by the end of this week.

According to Doc Larkins:

Kosi 3-4 weeks
Maguire 3-4 weeks
Penny - season
Gehrig - probably okay, but test
Hudghton - 2-3 weeks
Fisher - test

[Snowy]

Doubt Fisher will be test with his stress fractures.

And somehow they will (probably) have to beat at least one of West Coast and the Kangaroos without all of those KPPs.

Straight sets.

West Coast vs Sydney
Adelaide vs Kangaroos

OR - and this is the tantalising prospect:
West Coast vs Adelaide
Sydney vs Kangaroos

One thought to keep in mind though if we do manage to pinch 3rd, we MUST win in the first week, or else it will most likely be a preliminary final in Perth for us, a prospect that does not enthuse me at all

Yep. It's a pretty simple scenario now. Keep winning, and we get the flag.

Lose one, and we almost certainly won't.

The Swans haven't won seven in a row since... 1996?

Both seem impossible ... First week 1st plays 4th, 2nd plays 3rd ... Kangaroos can make third if they win the next two and Swans lose both. If that happens, Swans will be fifth ...

Which makes the "tantalising" totally out of the calcs ...

Am I missing the point here ???

Yes. They are preliminary final combinations.
