Climbing past 4 for us a bridge too far |
We wouldn't want to finish 3rd anyway, as that would probably have us playing the Eagles or Lions on their home turf. |
Why not? West Coast I get, but we smashed Brisbane last time we played them at the Gabba. Must admit I don't get this phobia of playing interstate that so many Collingwood supporters seem to have...

Sure, we could win our first final in Brisbane or Perth, but I'd much rather face the Pussies on 'our home ground'. I reckon we'd smash them at the G.

Yep - and we still get our home final: in week 2 for a qualifying final loss, in week 3 for a win...

We can be in the top 4 at the end of this round if;
1. Collingwood defeats Adelaide. (I give this a 50% chance of happening)
and
2. West Coast defeats Richmond. (45%)
The result of Brisbane Vs Geelong will have a big impact on the top 4. It's better for us if the Cats win. We'd want the Cats to finish 1st if we finish 4th. And the Lions have the Richmond (Thanks David) in the last round to make things interesting. The Cats have Carlton in Geelong.
It's probably better, but not huge if the Bulldogs beat GWS. However, I dont want to finish 5th and play the Bulldogs right now.
Will be going for Freo to beat Essendon and North to beat Port, but both matches dont impact our top 4 chances. Whats better, Essendon not making it, or being smashed in week one of the finals?

Lions are playing Richmond in the final round, Presti35, not West Coast!

Richmond 112.8%
Collingwood 113.9%
A Crows win could be quite helpful, particularly if they win well. West Coast are currently sitting on 117.3%. Currently in front of Adelaide 22–10 |
you guys get so caught up in percentage. Percentage doesn't matter.

May I be so bold as to suggest that your opinion on percentage doesn't matter.

Hawthorn can NOT make finals I did that ladder prediction thing and no matter if they win last 2 matches by say 85 points and other games to favour them they finish 10th at absolute best so there

In this scenario:
Coll def Port (MCG)
[ WC def Geel ]
[ Rich def Bris ]
Coll def Geel (MCG)
Coll def Rich (MCG)
Coll def WC in the Grand Final (MCG)

I should clarify though that this ladder is not necessarily the most likely one – I was replying to Eureka's query about Hawthorn! Much more likely that West Coast finish third ahead of Richmond and that Adelaide or the Bulldogs finish 8th, meaning that we'd be more likely not have to play Richmond until the grand final (which frankly, I'd be pretty happy about!).
Personally, I think there are several more results that are more likely of going the other way than Hawthorn beating the Eagles and making it.

You’re probably right, but you’re wrong that they can’t make it.

The odds would be crazy...they have to win both their last two games (including WCE in Perth) and Adelaide; Port; Bulldogs and Essendon would all have to lose both of theirs...so yes they can still make it...but if you are playing the odds, they are not making it
