Crows will be inside the eight if they beat collingwood in the next round. Still right in the hunt given the form of the pies and golf coast.

We have collingwood away, west coast home, Brisbane away, Richmond home over the next 4 weeks. I think we will win all four, if we don't we don't deserve to play finals.

No way will port miss.

Adelaide would go into meltdown over a showdown final. The good thing for neutrals would be that one of them gets eliminated

I would just rather if Crows supporters focussed on stringing a couple of wins together first instead of looking down the track into the distance and talking finals.

As for thinking so highly, comments like this i'm referring to straight after a loss:
I reckon since the Melbourne game we have stood up and become a feared opponent again.

We ain't far away from being a top contender again

Come on mate, every team is talking about their possible finals chances. I bet you would be pretty worried at the moment too...

Of course i'm worried, I had Gold Coast locked for the flag a few weeks back :lol:

Crows are fortunate though that results went their way this week, gives them hope.

On another note - with North Melbournes topsy turvy form, where will they finish? On paper they could well win their remaining 6 games.. but they could also lose them :? Can they make the top 4?

Actually shaping up as a pretty decent run to the finals, top 2,4 and 8 are all still wide open and probably with the exception of Sydney and freo (probably essendon too) every team hasn't been in the greatest of form.

I've said since round 1 we will make the top 4.
IF (and I say IF) we can get over Carlton Friday night then it sets up a huge match V Geelong the following week. The Cats are the only ones we could replace in the top 4.
Beat Carlton first though.

That crap goes on in Victoria as well, but if you support a Vic side you then have 9 other sides in your state to take swipes at. Its not just Crows & Power supporters taking swipes, look at daysie, he just takes swipes at everyone. :)
