Pies are on fire with the close games.
and it shows on the ladder.
13-5 with a percentage of 106
Another crazy weekend
Melbourne lose again
Freo and the Tigers with the draw.Cats now clear top. Can't wait to see how they fuck up the finals this year.
The Suns are far better than 8-10 suggests.
I may have overestimated Port's ability to make it. They would need to win out now. 12 wins to play finals meaning even Richmond are in a tough spot.

@mariner4life and Saints break a 12 year hoodoo over the Eagles in Perth. We are still in it, although Port beating the Dees didn’t help our cause.

Yeah the Dogs.
Port losing to Cats was helpful. Thought Port played some really good finals type footy too.

i think Port have to win out. Not impossible given their draw, but they wouldn't want to be within a kick of Collingwood at the death this weekend
Saints or Dogs most likely to make it now.

Top 4 battle front and centre this week
Freo host the Dees tonight, both off the back of disappointing results
Sydney and Carlton have games they should win
The Lions have Richmond on the 'G, and we know how that usually goes for us
Collingwood host Port, and that's a tough game at the momentThe Saints should take care of Hawthorn
You would hope the Suns can knock over the Eagles
Essendon have the bye -
well that sorted out pretty much nothing
Okay, no wait. The Lions are done as a premiership contender. Not this year, but as a group, until something changes. That loss yesterday was the icing. Big game at the MCG, big half time lead. Richmond come out in the 2nd half, the heat goes on, and as usual, the Lions just fold. We are just soft. Fages you cuddly bear, it might be time to move on.
And for the final goal to be kicked by the biggest flog in the competition hurt the most.Richmond may not be the team they were, but they showed yesterday what it takes to be a premiership team. Hard as fuck at the contest is everything. Have a ruthless edge. Grab every chance. The Lions have a lot of skillful players, but they lack the edge to just smash a game.
Melbourne come back to life and smash Freo
Collingwood win another by a kick to kill off Port for the year.
Sydney hammer GWS to jump in to the top 4
Saints get the win they needed
Carlton Lol it up and lose to the Crows.
Gold Coast hang on by their finger tipsCarlton and the Saints have 3 tough games to try and make finals.
Richmond probably have the softest draw from here out, Bulldogs next. Not inconceivable that both leapfrog the Blues and the SaintsOn balance the top 4 right now should stay that way. Collingwood could steal a minor premiership with a percentage under 110!

so, sydney....whats your premiship window looking like?

@mariner4life there’s a strong possibility that neither of the Saints and Blues make it and the Dogs and Tigers scrape in.
I was there to watch us almost have the biggest choke of the season against the Hawks on Saturday. Played well for 3 quarters despite our efficiency being no where near it needs to be.
Our % sucks and we have Geelong in Geelong (no way) then Brissy at Marvel (possible) and Swans at Marvel (probably 60/40 in Swans favour with them playing for top 4).
Brissy look cooked but given it’s not the MCG they could pull out a big one against us on a Friday night (I’ll be there, so jinx alert).
Some big games coming up this week:
- Dees v Pies - at the G on a Friday night. They’ll get 75K+
- Dogs v Freo - playing for top 8 and top 4 respectively.
- Port v Tigers - spoilers and Tigers season on the line.
- Lions v Blues - massive ramifications for the 8.

so given what Eddie Betts said in his book it's pretty easy to see why the Crows imploded after that GF.
That camp was fucked up, and the company that ran it is obviously not right in the head.
-
@ACT-Crusader every game this week looks good. lots of teams playing each other that are in similar spots

following on from this, Mark Ricciuto is a piece of shit, and should be sacked because it is clear he doesn't have the moral compass to resign

@mariner4life a hot Swanies v bottom of the table Norths....excatly the kind of game we'll loose*
*see the bombers game

I haven't bothered looking into it but how is Ricciuto involved?

he's on the Board. he was on the Board then
his "statement" on the radio amounted to nothing more then "i hope Eddie Betts can get over it"
Just zero accountability

@mariner4life not the first time Mark has tried to justify the camp publicly either.
Sure if it was a regular camp that was a little tougher then normal and Eddie struggled (I think he’s always had issues with the old skin fold tests), sure Eddie might have to “get over it”. But far too much has come from this to be some beat up or just a couple of ex players / players coming off contract with axes to grind.
