Round 17 - the stuck in Dubbo airport games.
- Thread starter Redford
- Start date
That narrow loss to the Cats a couple of weeks ago looks pretty good now. Our form has been great. Just hope we can sustain it.
Who do we want to win tonight? Swans or Dogs? Swans win they go above us but Bulldogs start to be dropped from the pack - increases our chances of making finals, or if the Dogs win, it keeps Sydney in that bottom part of the 8, giving us a better chance of a home elim final
I think we look ahead, not in the rear vision mirror. Got to finish 4-6
Freo's spot is ours for the taking. They play St K (Marvel), Swans (Optus), Tiges (Marvel), Dees (Optus), WB (Marvel) over the next 5 weeks.
We just got to keep on winning. Go Dogs tonight!
Definitely the Swans. I said this last week - you want to get a spot in the 8 first as soon as possible before worrying about your final position. And right now we’re still in amongst a stack of competition for the 8. We want one of those to drop off tonight - and that’s the Dogs.
If we win on Saturday and the Dogs lose we effectively go a long way to knocking out two teams from competing with us for a spot. If we win and the Dogs win its just the one. We’re still in a battle with them just to make the 8.
Definitely want the Swans to win. 110%. Eliminate the competition first.
the greatest white elephant in any afl room currently....kardinia park
mcg 160 x 141m
kp 170 x 115m
soccer pitch proportions with parallel boundaries makes switching play too risky
frequent congestion makes for one dimensional, boring, unwatchable viewing
which moron/s ticked these ground dimensions off?
win as many games as we can -
five wins out of 7 games leaves us with 14 wins and we will finish in the 5th to 7th bracket
15 wins and we finish top 4
sydney much more likely to finish on similar wins, 14 or 15 so i think a bulldog win is more favourable to us, if you believe we will get 14 plus wins.
if your expectation is that we finish on only, 13 or less wins Sydney will finish above us, and the we would be competing against the bulldogs for the last place in the 8. in that case we would prefer sydney to win this weekend
in summary, the preferred outcome of the bulldogs v sydney depends upon how many games we will end up winning. if you think we will scrape into the 8, then we want a sydney win. if you think we will be challenging for top 4, then a bulldogs win is preferable

Doesn't help them in finals. The table below is games against the top 8 in H/A and also in finals. They are nothing if not consistent. 2022 is using the current top 8 which obviously could change between now and the end of the season.
Gee modern day Geelong *smile* me big time .. be majorly pissed if they win the flag this year
I reckon it would be sweeter if they got another final against Freo here in Melbourne, play them down at crapdinia park again and lose again just like 2013.

There are no stupid ideas, just stupid people
Aim high. If we can't make the 8 then we're not good enough and it's time to reset.
I reckon they had a couple of hard sessions leading up to the West Coast game, then tapered to 'peak' for us and Smellbourne.
i get ur point pm & long may it reign but..
it doesn't help any one watching.
its a snore fest & a joke to think its our money paid for it.
they are consumed with cheating down there
& this ground abortion,
has only made me think twice about watching any game there.
good luck promoting the game & ratings there afl.
It's Beavis from Beavis and Butt-head. I hope we're talking about the same person.
