Our most likely finish to the season...

[annew]

First if we win the next three games

[707]

I like to have a bet on the footy and peruse all the odds looking for odds I reckon the bookies have got too generous on and that could be a win.

Last week we were $1.75 to finish minor premiers and Adelaide $4.00. Adelaide of course had four games that they were/are almost certain to win and win big. Both of those odds were silly.

Glad I had $100 on Adelaide because they now look certainties to finish top. Conversely I would have been happy to lose my $100 if we could have betean the Pies last night.

Still happy to lose my $100 if we can win the next three and we can with Morton in!

You put wayyyy too much faith in the talents of Mitch Morton. If his attitude is right he's a solid AFL player but certainly not a game breaker. I'm happy for him or Spangher to come in for TDL byt don't expect miracles just because he kicks a few in the 2's.

I would give crouch or davo a run ahead of TDL at the moment. He was horrible again. Turnstile of the highest order

[Melbourne_Blood]

TDL is ahead of Morton, so do we really expect Morton to come in and do significantly better. He's doing in the 2's what TDL does in the 2's. As we've seen, that doesn't translate across directly to senior AFL footy. There is a huge gap in the quality of the two comps . Maybe we could loan players to the VFL so they can play in something close to AFL level, to truly gauge how they are going.

Hey, on topic guys. Aren't there a million 'such and such is a dud/who should we select?' threads you can have this conversation in?

Geelong in Geelong is only for bonus points, or for a last desperate hope if we lose in R22. Hawks at the SCG will be the biggest H&A game in this town for quite a few years, and we'll well and truly know where we sit by the end of it.

Big late-season games vs Hawthorn at the SCG seem to serve us well. Who could forget the 1st week of finals 1996, when Sydney won their first final... forever? And R22 2007 where Hawthorn were a young team on the rise playing for a top 4 spot (which we know is a necessity to have a shot at a flag); we had little but form and pride on the line, as we were going to finish 7-8 anyway. We tore them a new one by 12 goals.

Can't wait til the Hawthorn game. There are so many variables and ifs and buts I can't even get my head around any of it until the finals actually roll around!

bring it on

[hot potato]

Lets just beat the Dogs first. Then I will address the Hawks.

[BillyRayCypress]

Hawks game will be a big factor on a top 2 finish.

However need to take care of Dogs next week first.

Eddiewood won't have an easy game against Norf next week.

[Jewels]

Beat the Dogs healthily and we are pretty much a lock for top 4.
Lets aim for top 2 AFTER we've secured top 4.
