Our best chance for finals

[saint patrick]

Obviously involves beating Richmond but looking at the different senerios I believe we should barrack for Adelaide to -night and hope like Hell that Collingwood beat them at Telstra next week...wouldn't be confident that Geelong will have an incentive to beat Brisbane at the Gabba in the last round prior to the first week of finals.We definately need Brisbane out of the equasion.

Alternatively if Sydney beat Collingwood we would be barracking for Adelaide and would replace Collingwood in the 8 ..how good would that be!

Sad it is now out of our hands but now we can only concentrate on what we have to do and keep everything crossed!!!

We will know exactly who to barrack for next week this Sunday night

[Halo Halo]

Im more confident that Geelong could beat Brisbane!!

Collingwood are not traveling very well at the moment and I think Adelaide will beat them next week.. I thibk we should cheer on Brisbane & hope like hell the cats can beat them next week!!

[Saintgaz]

Is there any way a game can be called off without either team getting points or a replay.
I'm thinking maybe a massive brawl before the bounce which leaves all 44 Brisbane and Adelaide players knocked out for three hours.

But maybe I'm dreaming.

[strauchanie]

match can be called off due to bad weather (heavy lightning/thunder), but IIRC the points are shared.

I tend to agree St Pat...

Geelong are home and hsoed....while Im sure they will want to win goign into finals campaign...........a desperate Collingwood that HAS to win playing an ageing Adelaid side here in Melb just maybe tougher...

I havent alltogether discounted a Hird/Sheedy miracle in the west out also.......we had the Eagles beaten last night....

ahh.........all we had to do was stand up.....f@rk I hate this scenario..

[Devilhead]

To make matters worse Anthony Rocca just smashed Adam Goodes across the face in a marking duel. The spoil was very late and copped him right across the chops

With Rocca's record I would think he wont be playing for a few weeks

One less collingwood foward Adelaide have to contend with

[Solar]

bugger our % is so shocking cause if it was higher sydney could be struggling to make the finals next week against the hawks

anyone for a drink.

I wanna play the pies first week, I think we could wreak some havoc!

Not sure if you have looked at the ladder but we cannot replace the pies so we cannot support Adelaide in any way unless you want us out of the 8.

[Devilhead]

Rusling has now gone down - didn't look good

[Teflon]

u have any good news?

[Devilhead]

Thomas has now been injured and now Maxwell is down

Bullsh1t isn't it!!!!

The curse of the Saints!!!!

Someone get that Aboriginal dude to lift that curse he put on us PLEASE!!!!!!!

[Solar]

rocca is a bigger loss then rusling. Still back the pies. up by 28 points against the swans at 3/4 time.

looking at the ladder, hawks v sydney next week is a beauty!! Might have to go watch some foxtel at the pub next week!

[Devilhead]

Rusling has a corked thigh but is back on the ground

Thomas hurt his shoulder but it is now strapped and he is back on the ground

Maxwell was badly winded

Rocca has been reported though - I think?????

[Solar]

ROCCA GONE!!!!

That could be his season!!

Late spoil that wrapped the player around the head. Has to go!

Not much in it for mine. Will get off IMO.

saw it in slow motion so perhaps that made it worse, did you just see o'loughlan spitting blood. Maybe a broken rib!

Holy crap Martin Clarke just got absolutely killed by Amon Buchanan - Front on late shirt front into the head - minimum 4 weeks

16 Richmond 21 2 18 1 1832

thats the end of round ladder I have for rd 21.

Hawks will play sydney for the chance of top 4
collingwood could be also playing for a top 4 spot depending on other games
Surpisingly if essendon pull off the upset of the year and both sydney and adelaide lose they could make it. Both them and us would make it!

Such a wierd season!

Good. This is absolutely the wrong time to bring it up, but...

I hope he gets really out of favour with Roos and we trade for him.

We need a player of his type, and he won't cost the earth. Victorian boy.

2nd round pick would definitely seal the deal; maybe only a third would be required. Silly act tonight but RL will sort him out

[Solar]

is it bad to say that in some ways I will miss watching buckley runn the wings and kick the ball. Best kick I have ever seen IMO
