ladder position

The way i read the leader board is this when we beat the swans tonight.
If Adelaide lose we gain 3rd. Now if Adelaide and Snort lose we are 2nd. however if Adelaide win and port lose and we give the swans a hiding we can move to 2nd on %.

In other words we need to win. If we don't we could drop down as far as 6 or 7.

WE MUST WIN TO KEEP AHEAD!!!!!

I am not worried. WE WILL CRUSH 'EM!!!!

GO PIES!!!!!!!

I've got a feeling. Collingwood is going to dominate tonight.

we're third, if port win we'll be forth.

who would'a thought adelaide had it in 'em eh? must've been a hard game to umpire - who does the AFL want to win more?

Wouldn't be too concerned about ladder position right now. The only important stat at the moment is 7-3. That's good. If we keep winning games in that ratio the ladder position will take care of itself.

The key number is 2 - 3, that's the position we want at the end of the year, assuming Brisbane get number 1, so we get the double chance and don't have to play Brisbane in Brisbane. I can't see anyone winning that game, wether Brisbane are good enough of the AFL get them over the line the result will be the same.
