Finals

[The Big Cat]

My reading of the ladder is that we are now safe for at least one home final.

Only the Top 2 teams have the possibility of playing 2 home finals (ignoring the situation playing teams from the state). So you could further reduce that statement to we are playing one and only one home final

Maximizing the number of neutral finals is the key.

If I am Ross Lyon, what incentive do I really have to win against Richmond?

His own ego.

Freo are pathetic ...... how could they beat Richmond ?

[barry]

Freo up at quarter time. Bennell on fire!

I would rather finish fifth with the new finals system. One game in three weeks is not a good build up to a finals match. I think this was proven last year.

Not really. Finishing 4th and losing first final is better than finishing 5th and winning first final because u get to host 2nd week.

If we finish. 5th or 6th, we get a home final. if we win that, we get another home final do we not?

[rb4x]

No we don't

No, if we finish 5th and win the first week we would play the loser of 1st v 4th away. If we finish 6th and win the first week we would play the loser of 2nd v 3rd away.

And if we win that semi final, it would result in an away prelim. And of course following that is the 'neutral' venue for the GF.

Apologies, yes, this is right. I was confused from the way the ladder predictor displays the match-ups. Seemed to goo d to be true!

Freo are useless, so likely finishing 6th.

Best hope is to meet GWS sometime before grand final. We would have crowd support wherever it's played. ANZ, spotless, SCG.

So Macca now on 297 games has 2 games all but guaranteed. We will HAVE TO win our first final to get him to his 300th. That would be so amazingly good.

They won't. Now 69 pts down, almost 3 quarter time.......make that 75 pts down. It's so bad Rance just got a goal!
