Path to the GF

Post: # 1866827Post Goose is king »

I’m going to put our horrible form down to a big training/playing load getting ready to peak at finals 😂. So if we can make finals in 6th or 7th we can play and beat one of Collingwood or GWS ✅Then we can play Brisbane without Harris Andrews and win ✅ then beat Port again ✅. Thus successfully avoiding the sides that would then smash us in the GF.

More realistically let's flop into the 8 and maybe fluke a win the first week so our younger guys get 2 goes at preparing for finals.

More realistically we get smashed in the first final and learn how far we have to go

Turn out I was right with our path to the GF, except we have to beat Dogs not GWS

Now this is it.
Beat a pack of Dogs in an elimination.
Then beat the loser of Brisbane and Richmond in a sudden death semi final.
Then play a preliminary final probably against Geelong or Port Adelaide.
Then beat the last team still standing.


The more you know, the more you know you don't know.
When I was a young child, I knew that I knew so much about so much.
Now that I am old and know so much more, I know that I know so much about so little, and so little about so much.

Just to clarify
Week 1 Dogs
Week 2 loser of Lions and Tigers
Week 3 winner of Cats and Power
Week 4 anyone except Dogs
Week 5 still drunk.

My preference is -

Dogs win ...... to get things started

Brisbane in Semi ..... before Andrews gets back

On my knees praying that Port beat the Cats ...... so Prelim v Port (Round 8 deja vu)

Then Tigers in GF .... but not before them getting beat up in tight contest vs Cats or Freeagles

I don't think we will make the GF ... but if we do
- is it possible to get to Brisbane from Melbourne ?
- does it depend on what COVID-19 restrictions are lifted ?

No no way. Victorians who are not Afl related are about as welcome in Qld as the bubonic plague.

I think they are making some in Adelaide.
With their usual efficiency you could borrow one when you come back in two more lifetimes.

Now that I am old and know so much more, I know that I know so much about so little, and so little about so much.

You should have been there in 1966.
I was.
Where were you ?

...although qualifying for the licence and getting a haulage contract inside a month would be demanding.
But not impossible :mrgreen:

Managed to fly across in 1965 but 1966 I was stuck in a s*** hole called Launceston with a young wife.
