The March to the finals- 2015.
- Thread starter Tigerfan
- Start date
I have got absolutely no concerns for us over the next fortnight.
I think we could have beaten WCE, we still need to work on our long ball kickng
Anyway We need to start planning for hawthorn.

IF we keep winning, say drop 2 more games, can we make top 4? Swans look very unimpressive to me. Hawthorn back in form now but just a side earlier in the season. I think the only chance of top 4 is if one of these 2 get the staggers. Sydney look more likely to at this stage but either one could. Thoughts?
Sydney run home: Haw (ANZ), WCE (a), Crows (h), Geel (a), Coll (h), GWS (a), St K (a), GC (h). They could lose four of those I reckon, and even get flogged once or twice. Need to catch up 2 games and some percentage
Hawthorn run home: Syd (ANZ), Carl, Us, WCE (a), Geel (a) Port (h), Bris (h), Carl. Cant see them dropping 3 of those, they might, but don't think so, much less get flogged. We won't catch their %. Carlton twice?
Sydney the only possibility I reckon if we maintain winning form, even though they are 2 games ahead to Hawthorn's 1.

I rate WCE structures and game plan more than their team of stars, sure they have some guns but no more than allot of teams.. i think like Port they have got teams on the hop with a new system, playing good footy.
For that reason i don't think they will drop off during H & A, with finals footy pressure etc lets see where it takes them!

You could be right, but look as solid as a rock to me. Plus they are more games ahead.

Sadly, I am. Think we'll finish H@A 5th, or if we do a little worse than expected, 6th. Have us playing Round 23 against North, and then again in 5th v 8th. Be a remarkable coaching effort and great outcome for the team, but North two weeks in a row could be interesting for Dimma's career.

the last time we played two games against the same team so late in the season was ..............................Carlton - the result hmmmmmmmmmmmm

Freo draw - they are on 12 wins, 3 more than us will a percentage of 120 odd which is not unreachable
- lock in 4 wins (Carl, GWS, St Kilda (in Melb) and Melb)
- 4 possible games in the balance (Rich (Melb), WCE, North (Melb) and Port (in Adelaide))
Our game against them is critical - and to make up 3 wins over the last 8 games against the ladder leader is highly unlikely - but just maybe ............
There form has fallen away but if anyone can turn that around is a Lyon led Freo. I don't think it will happen and I think the Launceston game is more about how good can Hawthorn be rather than how bad is Freo.
I'm guaranteed a grand final ticket if we make it to the GF. I've now guaranteed being able to pay for it by putting $50 on Sportsbet at $9 Tigers to play in it.
I'm not as confident about finals yet as others seem to be. North have a very easy run ahead of them and with our games against freo and Hawks coming up, they could very easily be on equal points with us in 3 weeks time.
Dogs also have a fairly easy run home, however we need them, gws and crows to start dropping a couple of games.

Given Freo's run home, us beating them here could really put the cat among the pigeons.year of the tiger said:
I am thinking like you. I think I've been scarred too many times over the years. If we lose tomorrow against the saints things could get a little tight. I hope we are the new Richmond who win the games we should. Still furious we lost to Melbourne.tiger_25 said:

Rightly or wrongly, I feel certain we'll make the finals. The current leadership group has stood up this year to force us to stop comparing them to the past. Not just because of talent, but because of good leadership club-wide.
We'll accidentally win more than we accidentally lose.

I would prefer to finish 6th rather than 5th for some reason - I would much rather play on Saturday as I reckon waiting all weekend for the final to be played (5th v 8th is always Sunday arvo latish for tv) does my head in and seems to build extra pressure on the team (to win their first final) - 4th would be perfect though.....
Yeah, I'm still hacked off about the Melbourne game. I really hope that doesn't come back to bite us on the bum.stripes17 said:
