Never mind the Hawks. You could send Melbourne out there with Cat jumpers on and they'd get the four points. It' s North under a roof that worries me.

We could just get Big Phil to change the date of the game to say, anyday in September and I reckon we might have those Melbourne Cats covered

Freo and Sydney have very strong claims and if Hawthorn are full tilt they are better than both these teams. These 3 are the only chance in my opinion.

If we play the way we have been playing, we won't make it. If we do make it, we deserve it.

I think the top 3 have your measure, I think your about on par with the Kangas and Port and experience at crunch time against either Port or the 'Roos would get you over the line into a Prelim.

Saying that, if you end up 5th and get a Essendon, Collingwood or Adelaide first week you could be out there such is the even season we it is.

I think the Catters will be around week two of finals at least though.

How do you figure Hawthorn have our measure? They are still suspect against tall forwards and as long as McIntosh or Kersten or perhaps Taylor at a pinch can provide a second marking option I'm sure we can get the job done against them. I'd fancy our chances against any of the other three sides you mentioned as opposed to Port. As for the top three for some reason I reckon we can turn the tables on the Swans (well we certainly couldn't do any worse could we LOL) but we keep trying the same thing against Freo so that means a loss every time against the Dockers.

Cats need to keep winning and hope for a first up final against the Hawks and avoid an away final. If we play away it's game over for the Catters and if we play the Docks in the Granny it's a Docker premiership. In short, no flag for us this year.

Demons, Saints, Lions, Giants, Bulldogs, Bombers



Bolded Teams will be looking for a new coach if their teams don't play finals football.

Coleman - Riewoldt (Tigers still have zero other goal kickers)
Brownlow - Ablett (Barring Injury)
Rising Star - Martin (I'll buy the hype)
GF - Replay of 2013

yeah Sanderson will be sacked if crows miss the finals??
Just got two years added to his current contract.

i think this finally might be the year that geelong start to slide a bit, but they have done so well managing their list, it wont be far, they will still be around the mark

st kilda to finish bottom

Appears as if Squids was on the money.
