According to the sport news, now that the Norf pretenders have lost yet again, the Finals hopes of both the Deeees and Pies are re ignited, and we now do have a slim chance of making the final eight. Look, FWIW, I cant see us making it, we needed to beat Melb at least once, we needed one more win, and being realistic I just cant see us doing it. Mind you, I do think we can shape the eight now, and id love to knock off the piss and poo in the last game, make that one our Grand final, and finally beat them after five long years, cost them the double chance, thatd be lovely. LOL.
Nah, I cant see us making the Finals, but stranger things have happened in footy I guess. _________________ Poverty exists not because we cannot feed the poor, but because we cannot satisfy the rich.

I don't think we can get there, but I want to see us try to. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

Will need to beat Adelaide at home, North and the Bulldogs at Etihad, and that's even before the Hawks in what could be a crucial game for them. I'll be happy if we win half our remaining games and finish 10th or 11th. _________________ Get back on top. |

While there is mathematical life, there is hope. But the probability is tiny. If nothing else, more games like yesterday's will salvage something from the season, finals or no. _________________ Two more flags before I die! |

Being 3 wins and percentage behind North (8th) with 8 games to come makes it a tough ask, esp. given our draw.
But if North continues its downward spiral, PA, Melbourne and St Kilda (if they win today) are all in the same boat, with a chance to sneak in, although the Saints are 8 points behind us on %. _________________ Donny.
It's a game. Enjoy it. |

Yes, Weagles, Cats and Giants are also sitting on 10 wins but all have a 30+ % break on us. _________________ Donny.

Yes we can.......but first we need to beat the Crows. After that, it gets easier....a little easier anyway. |

The Saints are looking a little shaky for their role in that, Donny - they trail the Bumblers 92 to 85 with 17 minutes gone in the last quarter - and Essendon has had the last 7 shots at goal. |

It's a tough draw,and the A.F.L has kindly given us two really hard games back to back interstate,so I can't see how we can do it.If we win about four of our remaining games i think we'll be doing very well. |

WCE winning has just put any hope of finals out of the question. Too hard from here. I think the best we can do from here is piss off a few teams and ruin a double chance or home final for a couple of teams. |

There's only 7 games to go. We need to win them all to have any chance. Get over Adelaide and I reckon we're a real chance. |
