Win in Perth, win the flag

[barry]

I think if we beat the eagles in perth, we will win the flag.

This is because we will have a break, then play a home final, then play the grand final against another interstate side:
Either WC who have traveled a very hard road
Adelaide still realing from injuries or
Freo all bug eyed about just making it.

I dont think any Vic team can get to the grand final.

DON'T HATE ME EVERYONE ... BUT ...

I think the break could potentially be our downfall.
I'd hate to see them resting on their laurels (like the budgies did last year).
I reckon the boys play better when the momentum is up and running.

Your concern is understood, but keep in mind if we lose than we travel either to Perth again or AAMI for PF, which means we might not even reach the GF. No, barry, is right. We MUST win this Saturday in order to have genuine chance for the flag.

Does anybody remember 2005?

I'm no expert, but for some reason I think we 'should' win the flag if we win this week, but if we lose I think we are at huge risk of going out in straight sets.

I don't like the idea of playing Collingwood in Sydney next week after playing in Perth at all....(of course they have to get over the Dogs first).

What he said.

The Pies worry me the most after the Crows. Even when they were awful they played well against us.

Why not? We struggle to beat them, particularly in Sydney.

They won't get past round one of the finals.

Unfortunately I think the long season will be too much for the Doggies.

Hey, we'll know for sure on Monday.
Don't write the doggies off just yet.
I think Rocket will pump the doggies up and get them ready.
After all, he did it for us.

Of course, I hope you're right.

Is this it?

I came close to deleting that thread a number of times.

[tawfiq]

of the eagles players that are in doubt or facing fitness tests, when will it be confirmed whether or not they are playing?
also anyone expecting any surprise changes for us, i doubt there will be, but you never know
