We can still make the 8

Done and Dusted.

There is still hope. Maybe a team or two might get busted doping or breaching the salary cap and get kicked out of the finals.

[Pies4shaw]

We just need two of those so-called "8-point" wins and we'll finish 6 points clear in the 8.

We start by taking down Geelong by 189 points.

"Football's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing."

IF we make the eight this season, I will personally stroll thru the main street of Mt Evelyn bare buck naked, that's how sure I am we wont. !!!!

[Pies4shaw]

Nah, we'll make it easily. Two "8 point wins" and we're there. I've done the maths.

Why isn't this thread locked? I mean like seriously.

But would we really want to now?
With those 7 critical players out, we'd be sitting ducks in an Elim final.

Even with the week off before the first round of finals, who would we in theory be able to recall from injury, that haven't been put in mothballs until 2018?

[think positive]

Yes. Always yes, Bucks and the waterboy can pull on the boots, Licuria looks like he could still outrun half the team too

[Pies4shaw]

I think we may struggle from here. I'm still confident, of course, but getting the 14 points we need from the last game is a big ask.

We have just made the eight
Bottom eight
