Yeah mate, although as REB said they're probably a good chance to split the two, just don't know which order .. Think the Tiges presents their better opportunity.

It might be tough to back up from Brissy with two down for the majority of the game. Adelaide are much better than Richmond but the Tiges are hell bent on finishing ninth again. Just taking the piss really Richmond. :)

Eagles will belt us we are cooked, Carlton last round is always a 50/50 so wouldnt be surprised to drop that aswell. 9th or 10th for the Bombers this year

Jobe and Hibberd back will help your cause.

Playing unfit guys has hurt us for the last couple of games, Jobe has missed 10 weeks and Hibberd 2, big risk

that will be enough if Collingwood can't beat hawks in the last round. With our good percentage two wins should be enough.
Two wins and it's probably a showdown, three wins and we play north two times in three weeks but at home in the finals

I reckon the Hawks will slip to 3rd and play Geelong 1st week.
Mainly because i think we will lose to them in 2 weeks. We will be coming off a Sunday twighlight in Perth whilst that Cats play this Friday so it will be 8 days break vs 6 if you can call it that.
Luckily come our match in the 1st week of finals on the Friday night we will be coming off a 7 day break and the Cats just 6, seems fair to me ;)
Lucky for the Cats this will be at the MCG and not Geelong

I don't think anyone can pick the 8 this year, even from now. I don't think I've seen a year with so many and constant upsets. Can see another change to the 8 and the top 4 by the end of the year. Loving AFL this year!

If Nth beat Crows next week, Syd beat Richmond in the last round, and Hawks beat the Pies in last round west coast beat Melbourne and GC I think we might sneak in.

I reckon it comes down to % between the Eagles and Crows.

First week of the finals will be:

Sydney v Freo in Sydney
Cats v Hawks in Melbourne
Port v West Coast in Adelaide
Nth Melb v Essendon in Melbourne

Swith that to Port v Adelaide in Adelaide if the Crows beat the Roos.

No way. Yes they have much better run than the rest but there a game behind Adelaide with slightly less % and the Cows have the Saints in round 23.

Cows to finish 8th and play Port.

Giving the results this week it's possible the crows only win 1 more and still make the eight but they will have to get more percentage vs north and st Kilda than west coast vs melb and the suns.

Basically comes down to the Adelaide v Nth Melbourne game next week.
Crows win, they'll play Port in the finals.
Roos win, Eagles will play Port in the finals.
