Ladder Watch Round 8

[kosifantutti]

As I said last week, your ladder position doesn't matter after round 8 but it's good for bragging rights especially if we stay above the Tigers.

After that win we are 5th with a percentage of 110.73

Geelong and GWS are level with us but they would need the mother of all hidings to drop below us on percentage.

Port will go ahead of us if they win.
Richmond will stay below us if they lose

If Richmond win we need it to be a small win.

r = richmond f = fre
We want r < 1.11f + 6.95

If Freo score 70 we need the Tigers to score 84 or less
If Freo score 100 we need the Tigers to score 117 or less

but seeing we're talking Freo.

If Freo score 40 we need the Tigers to score 51 or less.

The filth just didn't know how to win. It was that simple . Bye Bucks, not good enough, but no one hates you.

[Con Gorozidis]

Well I've been saying it all year.
Geelong are s***.

[kosifantutti]

It looks like we'll be one game off the top after this weekend.

[Enrico_Misso]

Well I've been saying it all year.
Geelong are s***.

So how come they made us look fourth rate in that last quarter?

[SemperFidelis]

Cannot believe Melbourne. This season is wide open. What was adjudged a tough draw for us this year needs some reassessment.
Looking at the games forward I can see us winning 14 in a canter.

We had a poor game.
We also thought they were better than they really are and they still thought they were good.
We should wallop them next time around.

if either Port or Richmond win they be above us by the end of the weekend.
meaning we could land at 6th

We will be 7th after Richmond and Port both win.
Only puppies will slip beneath us.

Port have never won a game in China. And Richmond are Richmond.

[thejiggingsaint]

I'm happy to have won TODAY! Let the season unfold as it will! If we bring our very best efforts to the game every week, then anything is possible for us!

[Con Gorozidis]

We need a Gold Coast win today.

Port have never won a game in China. And Richmond are Richmond.

There is a rumour going around Shanghai that the Chinese government will not allow the winning team to bring the 4 points back to Australia.

Cannot believe Melbourne. This season is wide open. .

With GWS's continued injury run I agree.

Crows are brittle.
Cat's heavily rely on Danger and Selwood.
Dogs are not quite on their game. Though they have shown that they know how to play well in finals.
Tigers draw at the start of the year was easier than the remainder. I expect them to start slipping soon.

However I expect the Swans to improve and North should have won more game than they have.

Season is wide open, but just not the Saints, but for about a dozen teams.

It is a very, very, even year.

Yes we are 1 game off top. But we are also 1 game off being outside the 8.

We need to keep winning more than we lose. Yes obvious statement I know. But really this year there are no easy games, and if you are off in any given week you lose.

[Jacks Back]

We can't control which other sides win or lose - we can only control how we play and how we let our opposition play on any given day. We just need to keep winning as many games as possible and the ladder and (hopefully) finals will sort themselves out.

[citywest]

We will finish top 4 this year.

[stevie]

First leg of the double we need to stay 5th is done as Tiges lose lol

Well that analysis was totally wrong. Richmond were level on games with us so any win would have put them in front. But thanks to David Mundy, we'll be at least sixth.

Three weeks ago we were three games and 45% behind Richmond. Now 2% ahead of them.

We were three games and 55% behind Geelong. We are now less than 6% behind them.

[prwilkinson]

Richmond lost in true Richmondy fashion.

[Con Gorozidis]

Richmond. Never change you crazy bastards

[saynta]

Wrong, ace. You spoke too soon.

[saintsRrising]

There is only 1 win difference between 4th and 11th.

2 games between 4th and 14th.

Lose a game or two more than teams in this range and the Saints will plummet.

Optimistically we are 1 win (plus %) off first.


I looks like it will be a long and tough year to make the 8.
