That means IF we lose next week and don’t get trounced for Melb to overtake us they’d need to pump dons by a lot??
That happens most likely we play West Coat in Perth in an EF.

We win and we probably play the Bulldogs at the Gabba.

No mate no Saint supporter would but if they win by a few points it will suit us better than if they lose :wink:

Not sure there will be a game in Perth...

I am sure I heard WC may play home final in Adelaide because of quarantine in WA.

Teams can fly in and out of Adelaide.

It's mathematically possible that we can still make it even if we lose.

A win next week would make it a certainty though.
If we lose to GWS
AND Melbourne beat GWS we can still finish ahead of Melbourne on percentage.
OR Melbourne lose to Essendon
But if Melbourne lose they can't finish ahead of us.

If we lose to GWS and Bulldogs lose to either Hawthorn or Fremantle we can still finish ahead of the Dogs.

We want Melbourne to lose.

maggots doing their best to ensure a GWS win.

Stands to reason. AFL own the maggots and GWS.

So we really need the dees to win

Have no qualms sinking the boots into Richo, but I don’t think he really had a part in that. Don’t even know that it was a Trout thing. Bains really liked him though

Puts them a game and % behind us.

Still gives us the opportunity to lose to GWS and not be overtaken by them or Melbourne.

It’s risks all round unfortunately but a Melbourne win gives us better odds IMO

GWS win and beat us, they go above us with the opportunity of Melbourne or WB overtaking as well

Go Dees!!!!

GWS cannot overtake us unless they beat us by 25 goals. That is not happening.

Doubt Melbourne would either unless they win by at least 50 plus points against Essendon next week.

This is based on us losing to GWS.


Want to watch the most boring and devious thing on television and probably in mankind's history, then tune into a daily live press conference at 11am.

Making some assumptions...
Bulldogs win tomorrow, Magpies win tomorrow.

Going into the final round

Coll 38
St.Kilda 36
Bulldogs 36

Melb 32
GWS 32


A win guarantees finals.
If we lose assume the bulldogs overtake with a win. That pushes us to 8th

That means that GWS or Melbourne (if they win) need to make up the 5%
