Hate to say it but...Pies are our finals hope
we might have to cheer for collingwood next week. Crows by 4 goals at half time and brisbane have only had 4 scoring shots.
We might know if we are a chance for a finals spot by the time we play sat.

does it matter?
I can see Collingwood rolling Adelaide - Geelong in Brsibane...hmm..the Lions are a different side..and with Browne and their backs to the wall..(and would Geelong maybe give the likes of a sorfe Bartel the extra week off before finals?????...be temtping...)
Collingwood have more to play for ....its why part of me was hoping the Swans would roll them tonight .....and they come out breathing fire next week...

personally I can see brisbane winning in rd 22 and the crows to struggle against collingwood. The pies could be playing for a home final, strangely enough it could be against us if the cards fall the right way.

plus I don't think that the crows have enough to put scoreboard pressure on the pies next week. The pies are very good at the G, with their army behind them and buckley having a game under their belt I would think they would finish the crows easily. Plus unlike geelong they still something to play for.Teflon wrote:Yeah I feel the same way..........and should the Pies lose tonight...they simply HAVE to beat Adelaide next week...
Im leaning more towards...lets just knock Brisbane out of the equation soon as...
plus brisbane have brown, ANYTHING can happen when brown plays

Our finals dream could be over before we even play next week, but I will be at the Collingwood game froday night (mates are pies supporters) in my Saints jumpers cheering loudly for the pies..
The pies did play well tonight - God I hope they can repeat it next week!!
Come On Collingwood - Help a brother out, beat the Crows!!

Come On Pies!!
I'll be rooting for them for sure
we're good enough to win finals...like most teams, we could be a bit of luck away from going very very deep
we were very good on fri. night's 1st half
we just need to get in there...top 4's importance is a myth...
we play that well we can beat (but also lose to) everyone...maybe not the cats or port, but everyone else we could have beaten
we are good enough
just get in there saints!

I am worried that the pies do not have an incentive to win next week...very hard to see them finishing top 4 particularly if Rocca is suspended...
What a drag we have to depend on the filth....
We'll have no-one to blame but ourselves...and by the way the Tiges will be no pushover either...
Hope I'm just feeling negative on a Sunday night but are preparing mentally for a disappointing end to the year...anything else will be a real bonus

1: If they lose they get a home game against Sydney. A win would mean a home game against us.
2: If they lose, and then defeat Sydney the first week, then they will most likely have an away game interstate against the loser of West Coast and Port Adelaide. If they win, and then defeat us, they have an away game in Melbourne against most likely either Geelong or Kangaroos.
Their finals fate is in their own hands this weekend.
They walk amongst us...
