    I'm watching the start of the 4th quarter now . . . and the Hawks are in front!

    It's funny when you look at it actually. Because right now Hawks are the ones that are in doubt but you look at the matches we've got coming up and we still need to make sure we get that double chance since it's not secured yet.
    Especially since St Kilda in particular have a very easy draw.
    And the man who started it all, the Schneiderman . . . . .

          Not really sure 2nd or 3rd is a huge advantage.

          Finish 4th, travel to Melb and on a good night maybe upset the Cats, but realistically back to Sydney, hopefully win and then take on Hawks or Bullies in the PF.

          Finish 2nd or 3rd, win and it's all good. Lose however and it's back to Sydney and back down to Melb to take on probably Geelong in the PF.

          As disappointing as losing a GF is, I'd prefer it to losing a PF.

          Bottom line: Finishing 4th is MUCH more of a priority then worrying about 2nd or 3rd.

            Absolutely agree. We get first crack at Geelong, if that fails I am much more confident in beating the Dogs or Hawks in a PF than Geelong.

              In this week's edition, the team at Inside Football predict we won't even get 4th spot.

              They reckon either Collingwood or St. Kilda will win 5 out of their last 6 and finish on 56 points, and 4th spot will be probably decided when they play each other in Round 19. We're good for 3 wins, against Adelaide, Fremantle and Brisbane at the SCG, and have no chance against the Bulldogs at Manuka, Geelong at ANZ, or Collingwood at the Dome, meaning we finish on 54 points, probably 5th or 6th. I hope we prove them wrong.

              Looks like I'm barracking for the Bombers and the Eagles today

                That means Collingwood now has to win every game before the finals. Can't see that happening.

                  I think we have 4th just about wrapped up unless we suffer a catastrophic slump in form.
                  Can't see us grabbing third unless the 'Dogs or Hawks collapse. We'll see how the former come back from their Geelong smashing tomorrow against Carlton. If they struggle and lose perhaps third might be a chance.
                  Fourth is probably good as I'd rather play Geelong early and then if we lose we our prelim would be against Hawthorn or the Bulldogs, hence more chance of a GF appearance.

                    Ditto St Kilda. Now we know that isn't going to happen.....

                      I don't think so after that first quarter

                            I think this thread should be re-named to "can we finish in the 8?"

                            maybe exaggerating a little with the other losses tonight but from what i saw from the swans i can't see them winning much at all. Yes we should beat freo and brisbane but we've shown just how badly we play against teams we should beat and there's no chance of winning against the bulldogs, collingwood or geelong.

                            we haven't played well for weeks now and unless we pick it up soon the season will be over first week of the finals at best!!

                              We are nothing more than top 4 pretenders and I'm biting my tongue (my typing finger) to stop myself from replacing the 4 with an 8.
