4th Place (End of Minor Round)

[bennymacca]

I think the top 8 will finish

Sydney
Freo
Hawks
WC
Rich
Collingwood
Nth Melb
Adelaide

With the way the non-Vic clubs are going the MCC would be worried that Prelim Final weekend might not have a game at the G

Is it still a rule that they have to have one there? Something tells me it isn't a rule anymore but I'm not sure

If so could get a Sydney/freo vs hawthorn prelim moved

[Wedgie]

Reckon after what we saw on the weekend West Coast would be the favourite for a top 4 spot

Lmao, really?
They were favs for the top 4 well before that game.

You really laughed your ass off at someone changing his rating of a team from 5th or 6th to probably 4th based on an away win against somewhat decent opposition?

My original tip for top 4 was Collingwood based on the assumption that west coast wouldn't win too many of the away games against teams like Richmond.

I laugh that even whenever people state the obvious you refuse to listen then come on a week later stating what they did.

I agree with the mix but not 100% sold on Crows making it, or Richmond finishing 5th.

Richmond have a few games in their run home that historically could go either way for them regardless of form - crows (away), collingwood, NM and Essendon in the last 5 games and have to play Hawks, Sydney (away) and Freo again. Its a tough run home. If they play to their full potential and like last years run home they could steal a top 4 spot - but could also fall right out altogether if they lose 5 out of the 7 listed.

are you actually serious?

so people arent allowed to have a different opinion? And change that opinion based on updated information?


i didnt think you laughed at people, i thought you just banned them?

I think Richmond have more potential to string games together more so than the others outside the 4 towards the end of the season. But yes, they could also drop right off. I tossed up between Western Bulldogs and Crows, and I just really just not sure with WB, as they seem to lose games they should win.

I laugh at people all the time.
People are allowed to have different opinions and I'm allowed to laugh at them if I want especially when they change them to what everyone was telling them before and didn't listen.
Hardly anyone gets banned lately, the site is very well behaved by most. Don't see how this is applicable though unless you're just trying to be a dick and failed miserably.

One minute you're telling me off for laughing, the next I have sand in my vagina simply because I point out you're merely stating what everyone knew last week?
If Crows and Power lose I'm generally quite happy especially when looking looking forward to the super rugby semis this week when my team are going for two championships in a row. Thank you for your concern/obsession about my well being.

[bennymacca]

everyone?

This was the order of predictions by people

West Coast
Collingwood (Me)
Collngwood/Richmond
Richmond
West Coast
West Coast
West Coast
Not Stated but reckons WC will be 6th

Yep thats everyone.

Then the weekend happened, and myself, LM, and HC all changed our minds and said that WC will probably make top 4, when we had them at 5th, 5th, 6th respectively.

you sir are a fool.

[Wedgie]

Everyone (with an ounce of football knowledge).
Still the unwarranted personal insults continue from you.
Are you OK? My thoughts are with you, PM me for a chat anytime mate.

[bennymacca]

Sick way to run a forum bro, laugh in the face of everyone with a different opinion than yours. And belittle their football knowledge for thinking that WC might win 1 less game than you and therefore not get a top 4 spot.

No wonder this place is so full of negativity.

[Wedgie]

Sick?
Bro?


I prefer jive talk.
Hey Benny, lay some of that hard-cuttin' mess on me. I want to back West Coast to make the 4 but I'm short of a deuce of blips and I'll straighten you later.

[bennymacca]

ok, at the risk of Wedgie laughing again, ill continue

GWS are currently $4 on Centrebet of making the eight this year, even though they are 7-5 and probably only need to win 4 or 5 of their remaining 10 games.

They have
Richmond Away
St Kilda Home
Gold Coast Away
Geelong Home
Fremantle Away
Essendon Home
Port Away
Sydney Home
Carlton Home
Melbourne Away

I think we can definitely call Sydney, Fremantle and Richmond Losses, But St Kilda, Gold Coast, Geelong (H), Essendon (H) , dare I say Port (A), Carlton (H) and Melbourne (A) all loom as potentially winnable games. I guess it means winning 4 or 5 of those 7 remaining games, which is pretty tough, but they could surprise people.

Just so wedgie doesnt laugh at me, I dont think they will make the finals, but I also dont think they are as long as $4

[Q.]

I think GWS are a small chance of winning none of those games.

[Lightning McQueen]

I think GWS are a small chance of winning none of those games.

3 is my magic number.

[bennymacca]

I think GWS are a small chance of winning none of those games.

yeah I agree, but i didnt think it was that bad a draw. If they can jag a couple of those early I think they can potentially cause a few more upsets.

They got pantsed by North at home, no Mummy, no Giants.

[bennymacca]

Reckon the younger kids are made or sterner stuff than the same kids at the Suns though. Whether that makes them ready for finals this year probably not...
