IF

we win the next 4!

and we can!

but how?

do we do that?

I didn't think we would beat Freo when the siren went.
I didn't think we would beat Cats at the Cattery, or Port at siren time.

Maybe the opposition are taking us more serious of late with all the media hype.

We haven't got much hope now.

No way in hell we beat Bris, so 4 wins is out of the question, and let's be honest winning 2 out of the 4 would be a good return. It is funny how suddenly when we see finals we (fans) start to think our win loss ratio will suddenly be improved.

The only remote possible way we get in is if we win 3 and Melb win just 1. And both things happening are the stuff of fairy tales.

But really it is just too hard and if we are being honest we aren't ready yet.

For this to happen, we would have to suddenly, right now, be on the cusp of becoming a very good team, and I think if you are honest with yourself you will admit we aren't on the cusp of being a very good team.

I would've thought we beat Adelaide and Sydney only, but after what Adelaide did to Hawthorn...??

If we do beat the two lowly sides that's 8 wins from 17 games, so like 10 wins from 22 which pretty much puts us in 2008 territory but without Judd, so perhaps even better placed?

And your point being, that the following year we break into the 8? One would like to think so.

With Melbourne cocking it up again, we are back in with some sort of chance if we can get a win tonight

Yep, nice surprise courtesy of the Swans tonight

That said they've probably put themselves into form to beat us next week :lol:

The players don't want it badly enough.
Simple as that.
They've thrown away finals opportunities twice in a row now.

Agree. They weren't expecting to be 15 points in front of the giants at 3q time, & promptly shit themselves.

Good to see the Tigers back where they belong in ninth.

Hopefully we will have 8 wins & >96% by this time next week.

Then beat St Kilda in first of four to run home.

Should get players back for Saints game finally. Huge game if we get over the line against Roos.

Can make the finals with 11 wins
