Still a Finals Chance

After the great win over the Cats our confidence is sure to be high, I believe we can still finish 8th.

Remaining Games.

Freo at Patersons
Port at AAMI (Our home game)
North Melbourne at AAMI
Bulldogs at Etihad
Melbourne at AAMI
WCE at Patersons

Freo are down after losing to the Tigers, it's over in WA but we don't have a bad record against them.

The Showdown. Anything can happen.

We beat North earlier in the year, they are very unpredictable but at AAMI we should get up.

Bulldogs at Etihad but a should win game.

Should beat Melbourne

WCE at patersons is a tough one, last time we played there we lost by 95  ??? Should be a good game, could potentially be finals defining for both Clubs.

If we win 5 of the 6 then we are a real chance, what do you guys think?

The problem is even if we win all 6 then we are still hoping that others will slip.

Winning all 6 will put us ahead of the Eagles and 1 game behind Port and Carlton in 8th and 9th. So we would have to hope that they would both drop at least one game and then we jump ahead on percentage, which would be tough considering they both have a higher percentage at the moment. So let's check who those 2 teams play in their final 6 games...

Port Adelaide
Brisbane (home)
Adelaide (away) hypothetically already saying this is a loss
Geelong (away)
Gold Coast (home)
Fremantle (away)
Carlton (home)

Carlton
Gold Coast (away)
Fremantle (home)
Bulldogs (home)
Richmond (away)
Essendon (home)
Port Adelaide (away)

So yeah there are some games that both teams could lose. But honestly I don't think we can win all 6 remaining games ourselves, which is what we would have to do to make the finals. I can't see us beating Freo this week, which will eliminate us basically straight away :(

Remember 9th may become the new 8th soon ;)

I think it should still be top 8.

Good point Crows Fan, we have dug ourselves a hole. Never good when you need to rely on other teams losing. Port VS Carlton in the last round could be very important.

With WC going poorly! WOWEE, we are a silly chance :o

Win, lose draw, fail, I don't really care! Sure ok no draft pick but! Have seen enough to know a GF is reachable anytime in the next ten years!

Consider Danger and Sloane 23, Crouch 20, Tex 22  ;)

Add the rest of the lads we've seen this year and last!

Yay if we do! Look out 014 if we don't!

Not a hope in hell, the media in SA is going crazy for you though even though we're 2 wins ahead :/

A second crack at the Hawks at the MCG ;D  Now Tex or Tippett but hey, no Danger either and we beat the cats with the youngest team ever to take the field for the mighty Adelaide Crows!

A fair bit of improvement in these kids since then ;D

Flower you Cow, flower you chicken ;D  flower you Hawks!

Oi! Ease up on the poultry bashing  ;)

Stick a fork in the Crows, their season is done.

If only we could kick straight, if only....

Season not over yet! Noone was expecting you to win this match! However it does need to be 5-0 from here on in.

Possible! Need some results to go our way though.

Jenkins out for season hurts as well. 

Holz

Very soft draw as usual, dont think that massive advantage will get them over the line as they simply arent good enough. Even if they do make it they will go out first round.

Does hurt but gives Lewis Johnston a good chance to show something.

This is true unfotunately. Anything can happen in finals however if we make it then the whole world knows that we didn't really deserve it.  :-\
