Probably not.

But as far as boilovers go, this would be an absolute beauty :)

It's more likely than the scenario that went our way in R22 2008.

Needed Fremantle (14th) to beat Collingwood (5th), Port Adelaide (13th) to beat North Melbourne (4th) at the MCG, Adelaide to lose against the Bulldogs or win by less than 15 points, and we needed to beat Essendon by over 100 points to finish top 4.

Sorry Teflon, I don't know what I was thinking. I have let you down and I will not do it again.

I''ll send you my draft posts so you can check and approve them before posting.

Haha. Wouldn't it be sweet karma for Freo though.

Our club should be advising Melbourne on what to do for a start. Unless they are tanking again.

Beno88... it would be fantastic if it were to happen. Not many results have gone in our favour so far and I can't see this one either.
Won't stop me having a sneak look at the scores though ;-)

That was a cracker!

Not sure if Melbourne can win but I think I'll put some money on them this week. I picked them to beat the Bombers at $15. My secret to success in these types of bets is that they have to get a win sometime and it's always worth a fiver, or a tener if you've had a few at the time of betting.

If Freo beat North this weekend, does that bugger us up anyway?

Yes.

That would go down as the upset of the century!

But I have been reading some of your other stuff tonight and yes, probably best send it through and I'll do my best to vet it and respond with comments by morning.

In the meantime, best you refrain from posting - your clearly out of form.. :wink:

But it stuffs up Carlton, so it's not that bad either.
