We have to win one more game....

[fugazi]

Is there value in actually focusing on the GWS game and resting several players against Weagles?

Roberton in for Wilkie
Webster for Paton
Bytel in for Billings
Byrnes in for Sinclair

Load up against GWS, otherwise we will lose both.

[The_Dud]

Should have loaded up today and put our best side in to smash the Hawks.

The WCE game was the smart move to rest players.

Can also make the 8 with 2 close defeats, as long as Melbourne don't win all 3 of theirs or 2 out of 3 with percentage boost!

Cant afford to cop a belting.

Our percentage cannot afford to cop a belting.

If Melbourne lose one of their last 3 we are in.

I wouldn't totally rule out the Crows against GWS at the Adelaide Oval.

They may have some confidence now and if GWS take them lightly then it might be a closer result than most people think.

Only Melbourne can kick us out of the 8

So can bulldogs if we don't win another game

Essendon will beat them. They always do.

Someone’s onto it. If the WC beat Dogs tonight ... we’re pretty much in so long as our % doesn’t get smashed on the way home.

[bergsone]

Win the next 2 games then dont have to worry about other results.Be in good form going into finals

Not correct.
If they win 2 and improve their percentage and we lose 2 and diminish our percentage they can pass us.

[BadRossco]

Got to at least try and protect our slight percentage advantage so would not rest many of the better players.
Carlisle, King and Skunk back for Abbot, Lonie and Marsh. Coff may have got an injury late in the game and could be rested for either Roberton or Langlands. Kent and Sinclair for Savage and Bytel or Dunn or Hanners if fit. Difficult to know how some of the suggested ins are going without a second tier comp to gauge this

Yep, that's correct. I thought we had a 3 game buffer on Dees but it's only 2.

So can bulldogs.....if beat WC...then very very likely to win last 2

Goddamit. That’s 2/3rds of their best mids out now with no Shuey. F#ck

[saintspremiers]

Hahaha!

On our form of the past month I can see us losing our next 2 games.

Maybe we will win one of them at very best

Which is what I told you in the last thread. It was always that we had to win 2 out of 3 to guarantee finals.
Now it is almost definite that we do as Dogs will most likely win their last two. And Dees and GWS can also squeeze us out of we do not win one more game.

After quarter time they dominated the game except in accuracy. Hopefully Nic Nat is not back in against us, but he probably will be.
