If we beat the Doggies, and hoping that the difference between our and Adelaide's percentage doesn't change too much after next week's games, if we can then beat the Crows in the final round by around two or more goals we are almost a certainty to finish top two. A two goal win over Adelaide will put us past them based on current percentages, which means we only need to get past either Freo or the Kangas, and given they are playing each other, we'll do that to whoever loses (given we have a decent percentage break over them both, assuming neither gains too much this coming week, and even if they do the last round loss should largely wipe those gains out). And this is all based on the worst case scenario for us next week with all three finals rivals winning. If any stumble then our task is made easier.<br /><br />I can see one classic Dee disaster in all this, which would be in keeping with the proud traditions of the club. We beat the Doggies, and beat the Crows by enough to pass them on percentage, but some Freo or Kanga player hits the post from a set shot ten metres out directly in front with seconds to play, leveling the scores, causing the only draw of the season, keeping them both half a game clear of us, and consigning us to third.Thommonoreply@blogger.com
