Reality hits in the finals when you have to play the Swans, Lions and GWS on their home decks and their home ground advantage comes into play even more. We have to finish second to avoid that, on the MCG, Marvel we can beat anyone anytime inho but winning finals interstate is a hard ask and with a depleted list and sore players its going to be even tougher.

With Hawks winning today (likely) it looks as if it just about guarantees us a place. Would have to be very unlucky to not get in.

Top 4 is out, but fortunately we should play at the G week 1 (away) by my calcs. Either Cats or Dogs, which would be a blessing at the G

Where do you have the Dogs finishing?   Taking about form its them and Lions at the moment.

We are around the mark for sure, but in any season, let alone a season as tight as this one, “around the mark“ won’t get it done.

What is current form though.
It changes week to week.
Hell, it changes quarter to quarter.

We are a super side for one qtr each week. Every week form one qtr have run, skill and look like a premiership side. Not sure what happens in the other 3 qtrs. Been every week the last 5 weeks.

We just have to play fit players. Cerra and Cottrell coming back from long injury breaks was 2 too many and we lost our run. Can bring so many back and it's ok, but that was too many. Won nothing since. Conservative team selection rather than fit blokes that can run all day. West Coast were cruelled with injury in 2018 and had 5 out on GF day. Thing is they played fit blokes who could go all day and were rewarded with the flag.

I still think with fit players its a tough job beating those teams at home and made more difficult in finals, you have to be top 2 or 4 at worst to give yourself a second chance. We seem to win the ball a lot and play keepings off racking up stats then turn it over in dumb fashion and if you look at our stats each week we tend to dominate the teams who beat us for large parts of the game but get poor reward for our efforts..

they either end up top 4 beating all comers or are just too late.  They've got a decent run home and have been good but their bubble will likely burst.
