The run home

[daysofourlives]

North have Freo, Bulldogs and Richmond. Pretty tough.

Crows and Geelong both on 13.5 would require the crows to beat west coast, it's possible but doubtful.

Even 12.5 could be enough if North lose their last 3, which is possible, I think I'll be tipping that way

I think you're almost certainties to beat WCE at Adelaide Oval. WCE could be coming off 3 losses in a row by then

Almost certain? Doubt that

WC are 2-0 at Adelaide Oval

I think the crows at their best match up pretty well to west coast - I think our forward line could stretch them, and we have the contested mids to be able to take on priddis and the like.

It has more been the system of play that has West Coast playing so well, and it has been broken down by precision foot passing - something the crows are not good at.

If both sides play at their best West Coast should win easily, but assuming things go do plan this week i would be quietly confident

Our back line has been stretched all season. Our forward line will also stretch your backline. Will the Crows be able to kick 15-20 goals, which you will need to do to beat us. We are not Essendon. Can't wait to go and watch it.

Our forwards have kicked - 18, 19, 9, 11 (22behinds!!) and 27 since the last time we played WC. Take out poor kicking against Tigers and a poor performace against Swans - we have been pretty dangerous scoring side. Compare that with WC - 11, 15, 11, 11 and 15 - our forwards are about on level when playing well. This is the game the Crows need to win because I cant see us beating Geelong in Geelong. Be great if the Saints can do the Crows a favour this week and knock Geelong off! Games are played at the same time - this will probably happen then the Lions beat us!

Brisbane couldn't win if they started now.

A good lead in to finals the next 3 weeks. Some big games looming.

Sundays Eagles V Dogs shapes as a ripper. Looking forward to seeing how our structure holds up against some quality forwards. I have a feeling we'll get beaten but if we can put up a good fight and at least be close it will give the young pups confidence for the finals. Chances are IF we can get through week 1 of finals that the second one will be in Perth too...

Very interesting year of footy! I hope my dogs can at least win 1 final, really excited!

Its been a great year of footy, shocking for tips though.

[Wedgie]

Been a pretty easy year for tipping I would have thought, I've picked mainly favs and got 9/9 last weekend and am equal top of my comp.

I only got 8 on the weekend but am first and second in my two comps

[Rik E Boy]

I reckon my mob will finish ninth. We have to win all three but I reckon we might only win one or two. And while we were getting kicked off the park by Hawthorn, Adelaide were enjoying a traing drill over Essendon.

No complaints, we aren't quite good enough this season.

The North v Richmond game is pretty significant for both our sides. If North go into the final round having lost to Freo and WB, they need to beat Richmond to make the 8. The Cats/Crows game starts 40 mins before North's game which means there will be one side sitting in the change rooms at Skilled Stadium watching the TV hoping the Tiges get up.

Of course, a lot has to happen before the final game for the above scenario to play out.

Done well considering IMO.

Agreed.

You should reap the rewards of an easier draw next season also.

I can’t see us dropping a game to St Kilda, Collingwood on a Friday night should be a win, the one Im worried about is Crows @ home. That could seriously go either way. We may have lost to Hawthorn but the cats of late have been in some good form, hopefully we get Duncan back this week too

Not quite true, if North have lost to Freo and WB and the Crows and Cats have won both games then the Crows are in the 8 no matter the results of other games and if the Cats beat the Crows North cant make it. North may need to win 2 of 3 to make it. Would Scott be sacked if North didnt make the 8?

[Booney]

Two weeks to go. My ladder predictor now :

Fremantle 18/4
West Coast 17/1/4
Hawthorn 16/6
Sydney 16/6
North 15/7
Richmond 14/8
Dogs 14/8
Adelaide/Geelong I can't split in that last game.

Needing a win to play finals you're a gamer man than me to bet against Geelong in Geelong.

[Dogwatcher]

C'mon Geelong!
