Ladder drop

[Impatient Sainter]

We will beat Brissy now after their punishing game today. They have a 6 day break after coming back from WA, so if we play at our best we should get the points.

We will beat Brissy now after their punishing game today. They have a 6 day break after coming back from WA, so if we play at our best we should get the points.

This is the best scenario for playing a top 4 team, after they've had a short week, one less day to recover, and we've had a bye.
If we can't beat the Lions this way, we're not as good as we should be.

Just had a look.
3 ifs here, but hear me out.

Round 13
Melb lose next game to Coll
Stk beat Bris

Round 14
Stk thump Ess

Stk go number 1 at the end of round 14.

Im dreaming.

To quote the nature boy Rick flair to be the best you have to beat the best. I think we will hold our spot for the most part. We will lose the odd game but as this weekend just showed, so will other teams. We have a few big ins coming back in the second half of this year. Steele Clark billings hanners

Cats beat Doggies.
Cats now 4th.
We're 5th.
We play Lions, Cats have a bye, then play WCE.
Potentially, we may slip again.
Ohhh dear
Can someone do the Ladder Predictor for Round 14
After Lions win, and Cats win

Geelong play Nth AND WC twice to our once.. thats a free 8 points extra.. We have a tough draw but i guess if we're to do well wlit doesn't matter who we play..

Ohh.....
One poster on here has called the 'fixture' a 'FIXture' as it seems fixed

Think I'm the FIXture guy - guilty as charged.

I'd like to see/hear any rational, clear thinking person mount an argument that the twaddle puts out is anything but a fix. It's certainly not a draw. The playing calendar so heavily compromised it's a joke. I mean - Geelong (& the Dullbogs) both play North and WCE twice. In a tight season - those 2 extra wins alone are enough to get a team from 8th to 4th.

And then there's derbies, showdowns, dreamtimes, Anzac Eve/Day, Carl/Coll twice etc.

The whole sh1tshow is about maximising crowds and TV viewers.
