March To The Finals - 2020.

Still remember not so long ago poring of the stats at this time of year......and praying.
Often it was a scenario like going in the final round, if Richmond can beat so and so by 10 goals, and the cellar dweller team beats the flag favourite, then Richmond MIGHT sneak into eighth spot on percentage....

Of course, the double chance appeals in case we have another one off bad day, but in a crazy season, I am enjoying that we are definitely in the finals and it is in our hands.

ANYONE, ANYTIME, ANYWHERE.

According to the HUN we can finish:

1st if we beat Geelong and Adelaide AND Brisbane loses 2 games AND Power lose to Essendon and Collingwood.

2nd if we beat Geelong and Adelaide AND Brisbane loses 2 of it’s 3 AND Port beats Essendon or Collingwood.

3rd if we beat Geelong and Adelaide AND Brisbane beats 2 of GC, SYD and Carlton AND Port beats one of Essendon or Collingwood.

5th if we lose to Geelong but beat Adelaide AND Brisbane beats one of GC, SYD and Carlton AND WC beats st Kilda and North.

6th if we lose to Geelong and Adelaide AND st Kilda beat WC AND GWS AND WC beat North Melbourne.

What about the scenario we finish 4th if St Kilda beat Westcoast on Thursday night and we lose to Geelong and beat Adelaide which is very plausible.

Go Saints!!! Would be sensational to go into Friday's game knowing we are virtually guaranteed top 4.

Take any of the first four scenarios as I don’t think we can win it if we don’t get the double chance.

Unlike most other years, I reckon you can win it from outside the top 4. There's talk all prelims will be in QLD. Given that, I'd almost prefer to finish 5th and play 3 finals in QLD than finish 4th and travel to Adelaide for the first final.

There’s a higher probability of this eventuating than most people think

Squiggle has WCE/STK as 50/50

From what I have seen of St Kilda this year I think they have already peaked. Whilst I think West Coast has been below par away from home, I still think they will find a way to get the job done against the Saints.

West Coast are playing too tall now and the loss of their midfielders is a big handicap. I'm favouring the Saints this game
 
My best scenario is to beat Geesook this week then thrash Port in the first final (hopefully in Adelaide) then thrash WCE in the elimination then play Geesook in the GF.

They come out all guns and lead by 54 points at halftime then fall away so ala Adelaide in 2017 and we pip them after the siren and win by 1 point.

May still have to travel to Adelaide ? to play Port in a PF if we get that far but yes this year there is that possibility to do that! Agree.
 
West Coast are 7-0 in Perth, but elsewhere they are 3-5 and the teams they have beaten are Sydney, Adelaide and Essendon.
Read into that what you will.

Go Aints!

I can't believe we are flag favourites for some.
We are sitting fourth and a good chance not to even finish top four.
And I reckon we've had three games this year where I've come away thinking we were impressive (Brisbane, Port (yes, I know we lost), and WCE).

Finals will be reduced time quarters

No logical reason for this.
Stupid AFL fiddling.
Favours one side only..the oldest.
The short quarters are ordinary with no waxing and waning to give intrigue. Like a 20 20 cricket game. Will appeal to Americans and Chinese when said and done.
Simply not necessary in the finals or ever again.
