Team: Hawks
Points: 60
Run Home: Saints, Collingwood, North, Sydney.

Team: Sydney
Points: 58
Run Home: Collingwood, Saints, Cats, Hawks.

Team: Geelong
Points: 56
Run Home: Port, WCE, Sydney, Brissie.

Team: Freo
Points: 54
Run Home: GWS, Melbourne, Port, Saints.

Team: Essendon
Points: 52
Run Home: WCE, North, Carlton, Richmond

Vinny

I would say Hawks and Cats.

Freo with their super easy draw is a chance if Hawks drop one of maybe Collingwood North or Swans.

The ladder has been very tight this year.

Ricochet

Yeh first of all we would need to win all 4.
Then Cats would have to drop one. Most likely Sydney.
Then Hawks or Sydney would have to drop 2. If Pies upset both of them it would be perfect.

Cicjose

not likely.... had we beat the swans in that game.......

Its mathematically possible but as RTB says "Let the cobblers do the cobbling".  Lets worry about ourselves and win the 4 games (injury free) and head in to the finals with some form and confidence.

Ricochet

Mathematically Possible is enough for me

We may have an easy run home,but what about Sydney played Suns twice and Raj Neeshies twice and, I think Melbourne twice.Don't come much easier than that.

I think you'll find he was commenting on the fact Freo's easy draw for the final 4 games gives them a chance to finish Top 2 from their current position and not commenting on how easy or hard their overall draw has been  ;)

For the first time I will be cheering for Collingwood this wkend and next

Its a win win this weekend.  If the Pies win - great for Freo.  If the Pies lose - then thats also a good result

I know exactly what he was referring to,I was just pointing out the fact that Sydney were GRANTED 24 points and percentage for nothing.I wouldn't have minded playing all those twice this year.And lets not fofget that this is the reigning premiers we are talking about here.

Brissie may help you in the last round even though the game is at Skilled. Vossie still playing for a contract and would love a win over Geelong to go into the board with not withstanding a chance to get into the eight if results have gone our way.  maybe the only time Freo supporters will be cheering for Lions.

I still cant believe that I am going to be barracking for Collingwood this weekend let alone worry about who I am going to barrack for in round 23
