There's also a some smaller chance we go to the Gabba. Lions loss to the Pies, wins by Hawthorn over the Eagles and Geelong over Richmond, near certain, and a decent size win by Adelaide over GWS might make up the 4% deficit between the Crows and the Lions.

Needs to be a 20 goal margin (average 10 goal each way) for that % to be overcome.
is it that much for 4%? Suppose that can be case this time of the year. I know you'd have done that maths so thinking you're right.

I’m concerned that Wilbur may have suffered a syndesmosis injury or an equally serious lower leg fracture from his heavy landing.  If so, it will create an opportunity for Ison, Moir or Hollands but we’ll miss Wilbur.

Let’s hope he’s OK 🤞


Yep, called it at the time, i thought he broke (fractured) his ankle or something equally serious.
I think it could be season over for him, which is a shame.

Moir is the bloke with the talent to replicate what Hayward does.....but he's also the bloke most likely to go missing.

Wonder if Fraser can sprinkle some magic dust in his weetbix this week??
In the interview he said by the end of the game it felt fine.

Sorry i think i was looking at an 'unupdated' ladder.

Combined margin would be closer to 80 points

Because the needle had kicked in by then.

Probably didn't feel it at all.

Lets see how he wakes up tomorrow.
