We need to finish in the mid tier of the competition to get a more favorable draw next year - so that is 7 - 12.
Therefore rather than risking finishing 5th and going out in the first week anyway - we are targeting 7th and same result guaranteeing the mid tier draw next year
BTW Massive /S
Squiggle now has us missing the 8 based on 12 wins and a percentage of 101.2
That is:
- North - Win
- Hawthorn - Win
- Carlton - Loss
- Richmond - Win
- Geelong - Loss
- Brisbane - Loss

If you have a Bee in your Bonnet - I can assist you with that - but it WILL involve some smacking upside the head!
What I don’t think you realise is, is if we finish 5th on the ladder, but bomb out after the first round of finals, we actually finish 7th in terms of draft picks and favourable draws for next year etc.
same goes if we finish 8th, and win week 1 of finals, we are actually a top 6 side at a minimum.
yeah cant see another win..look so flat and the fumbling is off the chart, not sure why they have lost that desperation but I hope RTB can get it back.
if we cant get a ruckman and a mid we will struggle for a bit

Last week took a lot out of the boys I think with 3 players going down so early, and we fought out the game against Melbourne.
Marshall was unbelievable last week but he was exhausted by the end.
He was very fumbly and made mistakes early against the Suns. Maybe it would have been better to play him as our FF.

yeah good points, leaving so much to too few. I wonder how the fitness levels are overall ?

I reckon your win/loss form table there could be about right. We still might beat Carlton though, depending on personnel available to both teams going into the game. Percentage sounds about right.

Have a look at the minis on Kayo. You might want to reconsider.
