The March to the finals- 2015.
- Thread starter Tigerfan
- Start date
Over the last 5 weeks we are 4-1. Over the next 4 we should go 3-1.
That's 7-2 with losses to top 4 teams,
Keep doing that, we keep playing finals.

I am pretty confident we can beat GWS, Carlton and St Kilda and be 9 - 6. Port made Carlton look good yesterday - I was at the game for the first half and I haven't seen Port turn the ball over so easily - Carlton are playing on passion at the moment but they also turned the ball over when they were put under a bit of pressure.
Port are a really strange team and their game style meant when they didn't pin point their passes or work their buts off, they just cough up the ball - they have a relatively hard run home and I can see them not making it.
North and Geelong will push for the 8 although I cant see Geelong making it now, they have a really tough run home Adelaide (2), Sydney, Haw, Collingwood and also have North and Doggies who are also just outside the 8
So my guess is one change now to the top 8, North in and GWS out and I agree, I cant see us getting beyond 7 or 8.

We will be out of the eight today after the Cats beat the Dees. Then we face a rampant Sydney which on form we will probably lose. Where we are in terms of ladder position is anyone's guess after that. Will we get back into the eight?? Wondering??

Demons, bullies and blues did us a big favour this week.
Next week will be tough but we are good enough this year.
We are in the last leg of the most difficult month any team can have.
Freo Bye WCE Sydney - that's the top three teams in the comp and we are 1-1.
Our SCG record is abysmal. But we are due.
4 losses by 19, 57, 10, 47 at the SCG under Dimma.
The first one was memorable because cousins Connors polo and McGuane brawled at the hotel.
The second one was memorable because they kicked the first 9 goals and I've never got my son back to the footy since.
The third one was memorable because it was pouring rain, Dave astburys knee turned 270 degrees, and a volcano somewhere blew up, grounded all the planes, and the team went home by bus.
The fourth one - was not that memorable
Anyway Sydney aren't playing like the juggernaut of last year.
They've only played the SCG three times this year and lost one to the western Bulldogs in the wet.
I watched the highlights and Sydney were coughing up serious turnovers in dumb spots.
Their defence can bleed like a sewer buts it's all about getting the ball down there.
We beat them last time but they had their best five on ice.
Still, the team thry put out there were pretty keen and we won...but at ANZ. They just hate that ground.
If we have the right attitude and select the right guys, we can FERU the swans.

And funnily enough, Gray, they didn't. It's a weird old season this one. Anything can happen.graystar1 said:
A bit of luck here and there, a few sneaky goals, a few injuries, etc
Random variation will separate Richmond/West Coast/Collingwood who are all above that middle group of 'can we make the finals?' teams.
We're a 3rd-8th team, instead of a 7th-12th team like a few others.

I have just done the ladder predictor.
Richmond need to beat GWS, GC, St Kilda, Carlton and Essendon and then need to beat two of Sydney, Collingwood, Hawthorn, North, Adelaide or Freo to make finals.
