How about this for a horror draw?
For the last 8 games this is what we cop.
Round 18.....West Coast....away
Round 21.....WB at Marvel, which we hate.
Round 22....Saints at Marvel, 2 weeks in a row that is.
Round 24.....Port Ad. away, yet another travel interstate.
Yes, we do have 4 at the G, but that is negated by the above.
We have already come off 3 out of 4 games interstate and have to bear another 2.
Is there another Vic. team that has to travel interstate so much?
And, what other teams have to play 2 in row at Marvel?
Let's hope for a better draw next year, buy don't hold your breath.

We,ll get a better draw next year in terms of us finishing in the bottom 6.

West Coast anywhere at the moment cannot be included in any horror draw list.

We are still alive

Win 7 of the 8 we are in
Win 6 and we need results to go our way but more likely than not to play finals
Win 5 or less we have September free

Question then is can we do any damage in the finals anyway.

Can't complain about instate trips as we would have to go to Brisbane and Adelaide if we were to win a few finals.

I reckon we can still make it. Even with losses to Dees and Port, we need to make sure we beat WB and Saints at the Dump
 
How we respond against the Swans will dictate the rest of our season.

And there’s that extra away game that everyone bar the SA sides gets due to the extra round that no one wanted or asked for, but the AFL gave us anyway.

I dont think we are struggling. But that game could dent confidence. Time will tell. Kill for a forward.
 
Sainters and / or doggies may not be in the 8 by the time we play them but these 2 games are both potentially 8 point games or the finals have arrived early type of games.

We have to beat teams in the bottom half of the 8 to take their place - simple.

If we can’t beat these two teams, then we are just making up the numbers I am afraid.

Virtually no chance now. If we win 6 of last 8, need Giants, Dockers, Suns, Swans and Blues to win no more than 5 and two of Cats, Dons, Crows to win no more than 4. We won't win 7 games but even then would be only a rough chance, 14 wins looking a high possibility now for 8th spot.

Should have done it earlier but time to play more youngsters, see what they have at AFL level.

Is there another Vic. team that has and still have to travel interstate as often as we do?
Sunday, off the WA then the last match which could be so important, off to Adelaide.
Wondering if the cats and Mudpies have had to travel interstate as often as us.
Why is it so? Please explain!!

everyone had a massive sook after we got those 7 consecutive games at the MCG in 2019 and we are being punished for it.
