Hmm....all four 2s.....is there a secret code in this?....hmm.....flogs are worrying me again......
All the 2's? Number two's? The poos? All the poos!
By Jove! I think I've cracked it!!!
It’s a hint at the free kick differential in favour of Brisvegas
I did the ladder predictor today and IF all games go according to the favourites (there was one game that I just couldn't pick - GWS at home to Gold Coast - there was no option for a nil-all draw so I went with the home team) where the favourite is a clear favourite or has a clear ladder position advantage, it resulted in Richmond winning 5/9 for 11.5 wins and finishing 11th.
Based on that we need one upset to sneak into 8th and two upsets to be pretty sure of getting in with 13.5 wins. So that would be winning 7/9 on the run home.
Any chance of finishing top six would depend on us winning 8/9 and even if we won out from here 9/9, achieving top 4 with 15.5 wins might still not be enough.
Interestingly, playing 'favourites' (rather than footy tipping style who you think will win) ended up with Port on top with 21 wins ! Dreamwood (Mmm yes thaaat's it boys keeeep winning my precious keeeep defying the laws of averages right up until GF day you suckers) finish up on 20 wins. I doubt either team will record 20 wins out of 23 over a full season so when you're that high, the only way is down I reckon.

.how embarrassment
-senior moment olde, unfamiliar?
.sincere apologies to bigoa, who I believe has so many of the attributes required to wreak havoc in a fwd line tandem with samson/miller & our game style.
. he's a one grabber athlete with spatial & ball awareness that cannot be fluked in that ressies video 4/5 weeks ago
.the fact that such a combination is anathema to those here, much less our selectors is just depressing.
.jack's physical limitations are at total odds with our future & current blueprint
.i acknowledge his enormous contribution to the 3 flags (is this required every discussion?)
.the tall fwd combo with samson/miller should be of utmost priority to clarify...it's actually due process to trial what's under our nose before expensive time consuming searches
.i reckon our game plan is proven.
.the modern tweak with two wiry, athletic tower targets would give oppo nightmares.
.its such a shame it won't happen this year
Let's hope we see this tomorrow night. Mini's declared he's in for the battle of new coach.
I’m still not sure what Clarke’s role is and what value he’s bringing to the team?
Surely Cumberland offers more?

I did the ladder predictor for all teams from 5th (saints) to us and had us 5th winning 7 from 9. Then I dropped one game (winning 6 from 9). We go to 8th (12.5 wins).
Anyways, tomorrow night if we can somehow topple the lions it will set us up nicely on the run home.
