They are limping into finals, and are looking at the equation of winning the flag the hardest way possible, so they will be looking at making sure they are good to go physically and if that means going interstate, so be it.  They can't fall out of finals, there aren't enough games left.

The rest of the ladder is up in the air too much to really worry about where you go or whom you will likely play against.  The spots from 3 to 10 are not cemented in enough yet, all that's happened is everyone underneath 12th is mathematically season over.

If the moons allign, they could go as high as 6th, but that means Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane, Geelong and Collingwood must lose whilst they win both of theirs.  Its impossible, as Collingwood face Brisbane, and Geelong have Richmond in the final round. 

IMHO< the Wildcards will be Adelaide 7th, Collingwood 8th, us 9th, and the Doggies 10th.

They beat us, we will go to Adelaide, whilst they play Collingwood. 

Id rather play Adelaide on recent form.

If they beat us, we are very likely not to play finals at all.
Thanks yes was posting on the fly and not giving it thought altho yes technically they can still make 6th but gotcha road to there is highly unlikely.

Often the most dangerous opponent: nothing to lose.
Agree, English and Bont are big out but beware the wounded dog.

Supporters might be focusing on the Doggies’ outs but Fraser will be wholly focused on the 23 they do put on the park.  If he fails to ensure that all 23 of our blokes have the same focus, we will be in trouble.
