Sorry abt the enormous link - article from today's SMH by Richard Hinds. A pretty fair summary of our finals chances this year.

First time we have been under $10 for the flag this year.

One glowing error is Halls scre in the past 3 games, it is actually four games, with 0 goals in Adelaide.


If we finish 4th:

- And Win in Perth, we will possible face St Kilda in Sydney.

- And Lose in Perth, we indeed face Adelaide @ AAMI.

Either way a tough road to the finals glory, but not incomprehensible.

If we lose in Perth then win the following week at home against teams 5 or 8, we might play either Adelaide at AAMI or St Kilda at the MCG.

However, West Coast are still not a certainty for the minor premiership. If they lose this week against Geelong at Geelong (possible) and the Crows beat Collingwood (most likely) then the Rd 22 blockbuster between West Coast and Adelaide (at Subi) will decide the monor premiership.

Sorry, I was assuming Adelaide would beat St K @ AAMI, but I guess that is not guaranteed either.

St Kilda worry me more than any other team.

I'm quietly hoping for some conveniently-timed Saints injuries and biffo.

[Rizzo]

I agree with the Saints being the danger team. Since the win against them at the SCG when they were unbeaten the Saints seem to have the wood over us.

The Bulldogs could be a spoiler too. If they sneak into the 8 they could well create an upset or two.

100%.

Aargh,

I'm putting all my energies into Freo getting across the line against the Saints on Friday. I hadn't considered that 1st playing 4th might be us playing the Crows at AAMI and 3rd place could win us Subiaco!

[Sanecow]

Saints are nothing to us.

[BonBon]

But we should've won against St Kilda Rd 10.

What are the chances of Freo beating Saints? That would be awesome. I asked my StK friend what she thought and she's the type of person who thinks you get every advantage possible at playing at your home ground when that's not true. But this time she reckons the Saints will easily beat Freo.

[Plugger46]

Too many ifs and buts. We could still finish 3rd yet.
