Run Home

[Tevor]

Imagine if we don't make the top 6 now after being the only ones touted as being able to challenge city for 1st for so much of the season

If it comes down to the last round in Adelaide we are in big trouble. I so hope we don’t get ourselves into that position.

Well I'd put a loss down now for the next Mel trip. Need to win against Brisbane and Newcastle at a minimum

we don't have any more melbourne trips this season, the western game is in ballarat.

Watch the Ballarat game get moved to Melbourne. Lol.

No but seriously although we want to be positive I would predict or not be surprised if in our run home we don’t even beat Scum or Bris.

Could be all draws and losses based on the predictable and lack of options football tactic we are using.

We may have been lucky last week against Bulls.

I hope not but like my betting usually goes, I’m going to tip against us making the 6 and then we should actually make the 6.

5 games to go, how many do we need to win to be safely in the 6?

 

[FFC Mariner]

5

 

[Ironbark]

Agreed

3. 40 points is usually always safe

I almost wonder if that could be a better outcome for the club......making the 6 just masks how badly we've choked at the business end of the season (and will continue to cover up whatever the heck is going on behind closed doors, while not making the 6 will see the board demanding answers)

The last few years we've had a drop in form for a section of the season. Hopefully that's all this is. Time will tell.

I'd argue that absolutely nothing is "going on behind closed doors"
Far more likely is that one of the lowest funded playing squads initially outperformed and is reverting to the mean.
Better wages = better players
That's how football works (unless you are f**k ups like Sydney or Everton)

Definitely agree, considering this is now an recurring issue it would be good to see some proper planning to deal with it next season.

Same with our constant slow starts.

True. But last year we peaked at the right time.. the run home. Not feeling that way now.

So it's rigged to make sure our colonial masters get into the Champions League. Can't do without the "synergy" CFG would lose.
