    I think Essendon will make the finals instead of the Bulldogs. Essendon have two easy games (Gold Coast and Fremantle) and the Bulldogs have Port Adelaide and Hawthorn.
    I think st kilda will be fired up to send Reiwoldt out a winner in the last round ,i think the will get the tigers ..so we win Friday night i reckon we can have 4th spot ..even if we don't we can win it from 5th or 6th place

      Even if we win out and the Tiges lose, we still have to keep in front of Port, which won't be easy because they have a way softer draw and almost identical percentage.

        The difference between the fixtures for the two sides really comes down to a tough game for the Swans against Adelaide and a tricky game for Port against the Bulldogs. The final round games for both sides are against bottom sides: we have Carlton and Port have Gold Coast. It could well come down to a final round battle of percentage boosting.

        That's assuming we win against the scary Crows!

          We'll beat Adelaide by plenty this week & then we owe Carlton big time for their attack on Mills early this season.

                    Because they're Adelaide and that's what Crows fans do. As well as tea, knitting and crosswords. Or so suggested a recent Titus O'Reily column I believe.

                      No need to be silly MRP is trigger happy now and correct me if I'm wrong but Jones is one fine away from getting suspended. Not sure how many fines Buddy has had so far

                        I prefer Liquorice Allsorts Stadium because the Crows look like liquorice allsorts in their home strip.

                          When I read, "Apricot Slice Stadium", I just assumed that it was Spotless, because of the predominantly orange colour. Though the predominantly orange colour, is why I refer to Spotless as the Fruit Bowl.

                            The Port Cheer Squad banner in the recent showdown:

                            I have no idea what BANG ON FENCE refers to.

                            Maybe our own cheer squad will join in the banter. Of course it can backfire and the Crows tweeted back:

                              If I remember correctly, when Adelaide joined the Comp, they were tagged as Fruit Tingles.

                              Actually Fruit Tingle Oval sounds OK.

                                There were ticks against the first five and a red cross against banging on the fence. Crows were awesome in the wet that match, played like it was dry. This will be a very tough match for us.
