round 23 - never stop dreaming....
Submitted by randall df223 on Sun, 2014-08-24 19:38
Freo can still finish second....
4. FREMANTLE
60 points (15 wins, six losses) 131.9 per cent
The run home:
Rd 23: Port Adelaide at Patersons Stadium
If the Dockers win next week:
- And the Lions win in Geelong, they finish third
- They can finish no lower than fourth
- They earn a home qualifying final in the unlikely event that Geelong loses, Hawthorn loses, and Fremantle and Collingwood's combined winning margin is at least 90 points

Dockers well done ( injury
Dockers well done ( injury and report free ) Pav should be fine , be nice if Barlow can pull a Gunston and come back early .. should be ripper against Port next week .. Happy to hold 4th spot but if all the stars align then well and good .

I think the crows have to
I think the crows have to make up about 4+ % on the eagles. So if the eagles only scrap home against gold cost the crows have to flog saint kilda..... Hmmmm, me thinks the eagles are the most likely....
And all I want at the moment is freo to win....

now that second scenario
sounds good
however - we have to get into the 8 first, it could come down to how much percentage the crows pick up against the Saints, assuming we beat the Gold Coast..... if it works out for us , look out Randall

Me think so too
Not a chance in hell even "fully loaded"
Nervous weekend for my team for sure. Not as easy as we think beating Suns at home. Not a foregone conclusion at all.
Port beating Dockers at home - possible, not likely.
But on a second note, it is funny how this column over the months have turned me so loyal to the eagles. Still like Freo, but have become a lot more polarised. Would still like it if a WA team comes up trumps, but if Eagles get 8 (IF) and Dockers 5th, Ill be screaming the roof down. Not much chance of getting a ticket to that affair if it happens I am sure!!!
Barely 2 team now!

After all the Two team comments
Actually thought about it. this forum has changed the view. Always an Eagle supporter from day dot. Probably because I was asked to assist with tackle practice as a state rugby player at Swan District in the early 80s, and the Narkles went on to the Eagles!

Have to cheer for someone in the finals!!!
And it WONT be Hawks, Sydney, Geelong, Port, NM or Doping thats for sure. IF Tig's get there might have a little squell for them because bloody hell have they had a bad run. Obvious that leaves a cheer spot for Eagles and if I must the Dockers.

After the great year the Dockers have had, it seems a shame for them to be knocked out at home in an elimination final.
There's a thing to ponder HAHA.
All the best to both our teams.

The Hawks will SMASH pies....
Richmond will push Sydney and I wouldn't be surprised to see the Eagles prematurely ejaculate...
Hawks to beat Geel
Syd to beat Freo but then it gets interesting...
Being a Hawk I'm not sure who I'd rather be playing with the above scenario... Freo or Nth Melb in week 3
Freo had their best game for 10 years the other day when they won... Pav was able to get his nose out of the way and snap a couple of bewt goals like days of old...
Hawks in 13 & 14??
Yeah prolly!

This is a very random
This is a very random comment but anyways here it goes
as the title says (never stop dreaming) at year 8 level this is the first opportunity for finals, unlike the old times when there was finals no matter how old you are. Anyway at the end of the season we finished at 2nd on the ladder, and have not beaten the top side yet. Twice got smashed by at least 60 points then 6 rounds ago lost by 5 points. Our team can hopefully win on the weekend which will put us straight to the grand final .
cant wait first taste of finals ever for footy

Thats the go Lachie,my team went through to the finals one year having never beaten the favourites who had gone through undefeated.
Cut a long story short they were way overconfident we knuckled down and ended up winning by a goal at the death.
No better feeling,(other than pulling a 20kg Dhu).

Good onya Lachie. What position you play? I made the Peel development squad under 15s and under 16s back in the day when I played for Baldivis, never got to play the carnivals though, first year I was in Bali and second year I was injured with the worst corky I ever got, ended up calcifying and had to get it crushed out of my quad. Later that year I got a letter in the mail on the first week of school holidays in December inviting me to Peel Colts and attatched was a diet and cardio/weights regime I had to follow to prepare for pre-season training in January, thats when I realised I didnt want to become an AFL player!
10 years since playing my last footy game im contemplating heading back to Baldivis next season for the seniors.

Nice beau! I am usually played in centre half forward or full forward because I'm not blessed with speed.
our team was bad and the umpiring was worse, it sounded like pater sons stadium when an umpire is bad. Anyway we went down by 10 goals. It was a shocker.

iam fortunate enough to have met and exchanged words with leigh mathews even have a book written and signed by leigh, one of the best to have played the game but the more i listen to his commentary and opinions of the game the more frustrated and annoyed i seem to get. it just seems to be negative in all aspects and leaves other reporters covering his negativity.
its just my opinion but i wish some of the best would just retire and leave the game gracefully

I think Freo will get beaten, Port are spreading well and staying in the contest longer. Freo players have just run past the ball on 4 or 5 occasions, Mundy can't find the pill, Hill can't get loose. Something's gotta give.

iam sure there will be a few more to finish after the finals and there are a few that deserve a GF flag next to there legacy but i must admit it would be deserving to see PAV walk away a proper champion.
Will be watching all the finals even though my teams out, i just love my AFL

WC well , i have said it for a while now , we didnt deserve finals and the footy gods made it reality. Bring on the offseason.
FREO & PORT are my two teams now for the finals. Over Sydney, they need to be demantled sooner or later as wel as hawthorn.
Geel the roughie, they can turn it on when they need to.
Just want to shove it up those VICS east coast ass's1
bet im going to be called a traitor now, but meh im blue and gold till i die, but after that i hate the east coast!

Here here Terboz
We didnt deserve the finals. Mid season sucked and the comeback was to late. At 3 zip I got excited, but now deflated.
Would be shit scared to play Richmond in the finals - might shake it up.
As "two team" I have been critisized as been non loyal to the Eagles. Not so but I just love WA, then non Vic teams with South Oz last in that bunch (port and Adelaide in that order), last Vic teams with Collie's and Hawks last.
So now go the Dockers, then Sydney. Port to be done by the upsurging Richmond I think.
Sorry but Favourite for the flag has to be "and the winner is -- Sidenaay"
Now going to the final page.
