    Half time 42 points almost on target.

      Not as easy as that.

      The winning margin they need depends on how many points Essendon score.

      eg. A 193-100 win would not be enough, but a 123-30 win would be. Both 93 point wins.

          He is, but we also have Ted and Leo as defensive stalwarts. Doubt either of them would get dropped before Grundy.

          4cm may not sound like much but it does make a difference. Add on to that that LRT has a greater reach advantage than just his height, and has better stamina.

          I don't want Grundy dropped. I thought he played a decent game yesterday and has been steadily improving all year. But if we want to fit O'Keefe and Goodes back into the team and want the likes of Vez and Jack and Bird to keep their spots, two others are going to have to miss out. Some difficult decisions for the coaches, unless the tribunal helps them out.

                  They're 4th now and will face a reality check against Geelong.

                        Apart from 4th, this is probably the best possible outcome. We will avoid Crows & Pies. Might even make it to the second week.... Kangas will be fired up but.

                          I sincerely hope you're right. He really isn't confident and needs a miracle to reverse his form in 7 days.

                            You were right - I was just keeping it basic. It was pretty close based on Essendon's score.

                              My 2 least favoured teams in the 8 are the crows and pies - knowing one will be knocked out and that the crows will not get a feral (home) final is great for footy.
