The run home

[JK]

Didnt worry about margins, and came up with the following. Pretty close to most I would imagine.

[Booney]

Freo
Hawthorn
West Coast
Sydney
Richmond
Bulldogs
North
Giants

[Rik E Boy]

I think so, yes. Freo are on a real slide IMO. They've been average since the Collingwood game a month or so back. Struggling to score.

They will beat North.

I wish the various AFL ladders would stop showing Geelong and Adelaide as having played a game less. We know they have and we understand the reasons why, but the game isn't going to be re-scheduled, so just show them on the same games played as the others.

It will be interesting if both Adelaide & Geelong miss the finals by half a game. One of them would have won the abandoned match.

It doesnt really matter either way really. But yeah i agree.

I have the crows missing by half a game, which will be pretty stiff - not too many sides get 12.5 wins and miss the finals.

I went back and looked at the ladder, and since 1996, only 3 times has a team on 12 wins missed the finals, and never has a team on more than 48 points missed. In fact there were two or three years where a team on 10 wins has made the top eight.

Crows need to win two of the games against Sydney (A), Richmond (H), West Coast (H), Geelong (A) to make it

this year seems to be weird/interesting in that there is a big group of middling teams that can all beat each other, and also a big group of bad teams. Usually there would be at least two or three teams getting 8-10 wins but it might only be port this year

So you want them to lie?
Personally I prefer the ladder having facts not made up things.

Yeah, like at the moment the ladder says Adelaide have 9 wins at 4 points each at 38 points and Geelong have 8 wins at 4 points each for 34 points.

Better they not make things up.

Nothing wrong with that throwing in the 2 points for the abandoned game.
Perhaps they should have an asterisk in case there's a couple of people in the North Sentinel Islands who didnt hear what happened to Phil Walsh.

If they've given each club 2 points then don't they consider the result settled?

Its a games played column not a results settled column.

I did pick Port to beat the Dogs over there which could very well be wrong and West Coast to get up at home against the Hawks.

After winning by 70+ on the weekend, you now have us winning a game less?

Yeah, I think Freo have found their mojo again, I had you tipped to beat them, now I've swung the other way after they knocked off the dangerous in-form Tigers.
You did beat Brisbane convincingly, it was Boomers 400th though and they were without their only decent player for the year.

[Spargo]

What are the other 2 games you think we'll lose?

[mighty_tiger_79]

Cats won't play finals

[Booney]

What are the other 2 games you think we'll lose?

You finish with Carlton, Melbourne, St Kilda, Fremantle. Bulldogs and Richmond which, if you win all but the Fremantle game, the Richmond game may be a battle for 4th spot in the final round.

Depending on Sydney's fortunes over the next six weeks weeks ( Adelaide, Geelong, Collingwood, GWS, St Kilda, Gold Coast ) and if they win more than 3 of those it won't matter what you do.

Richmond have Hawthorn, Adelaide, Gold Coast, Collingwood, Essendon and you blokes.

Bulldogs have Essendon, Port, Melbourne, West Coast, North and Brisbane.

You'll have to win all of the Fremantle, Bullldogs and Richmond games to take 4th I reakon with Sydney losing 3 of their last 6 on top of their last 2 making it 5 of their last 8 if that eventuates. Nup....

Sydney nay only have to lose 2 games, 10% can be made up/lost pretty quickly in this league.

Incorrect. You need to win all yours...
