Confident about elimination final?

[North Melbournes Finest]

Alright the very hard part is actually snagging 8th spot, but is anyone else confident as me that we'd be able to beat Carlton in the first final if they dropped to 5th? If it were Westcoast at Subi/Patterson, I wouldn't be confident. But Carlton in Melbourne? I'd say we have a good chance to take the win, you'd think we'd wouldn't have the bad forward 50 entries into the forwardline next time, and we only just lost. So if we played them in an elimination final I'd be very confident.

What about you guys?

Carlton v North in an elimination final...

The pressure on Carlton would be immense. Ratten's job on the line....

Two words though: Chris Judd.

Stop Judd in that match, and the Roos might get it...

But of course you have to get there first

[roo boys!]

I'd have to agree, but it must be said, don't get too ahead of yourself ;)

We have to beat Freo, Saints and Tigers to even make the eight, and a win against Hawks this week wouldn't hurt ;) :)

But I would certainly think we have a solid chance against the Blues whenever we match up against them. But would Waite/Jamison be back then?

To be fair I did say "Alright the very hard part is actually snagging 8th spot, but"

Also, I did a ladder predictor, and I think 11 wins is enough to get us a finals birth, Fremantle are going to completely fall away (We hope). Wins that we should get Fremantle, Richmond and we need one of St Kilda/Hawks. A win on Friday would of made it so much easier.

Use the ladder predictor and see what you come up with -

Yep I have done that before. Friday night was important. We can beat Saints IMO. Freo got quite a tough run home.

Ladder predictor I have you 9th and Essendon 8th. Honestly don't think you'll make finals (but would love you to because I don't like Essendon and I love North - especially now that Jamie plays for you :))

[roo boys!]

Haha :D

How do you know Jamie?

[LaHug]

Went to school with him and played junior footy with him. Won a grand final alongside him :P

[roo boys!]

Ah right.

My grandparents are like best friends with his grandparents so I have met him a few times when they are over at my grandparent's house and stuff like that.

Sorry BB :P Everyone has a team or two they love to hate. Mine just happens to be Essendon.

[roo boys!]

Essendon, Collingwood, Carlton and Port Adelaide. So a team or four :P Just cos everyone likes those main three and well...I just dislike a fair few of the players for Port really.

[bomberboy0618]

I just like pictures, tis okay LH. Jealously is only natural when you go for Richmond :).

[Zarts]

Because I have friends who go for those teams and they all piss me off :P
