Dogs by a metric millburp. A win is all that matters.

Win is vital
Margin irrelevant but big on the upside preferred.

JUST TURN UP and dominate the first quarter as per the template of the past 3 weeks and kick straight.

Geelong beating Freo is not good for the Doggies. Sets Cats up to finish top 4. Their win has them solidly in the 4 and they play Eagles and Saints in the final 2 rounds. Win both and we can?t displace them.

Port Adelaide will also finish top 4 if they win their remaining 3 games, which is likely. They play Melbourne, Adelaide & Freo. You'd reckon they win all 3.

Looks likely that we finish seventh. Unless Freo beat PA in last round. A chance, but unlikely you?d think.

Hard to win from outside the top 4 but we have form for doing just this. Woof.

There is one further opportunity, brought about by GWS unexpectedly beating Brisbane. We need Essendon to defeat Brisbane, in Brisbane, in round 24. Not holding my breath.

As I said above, PA finish in top 4 if they win all 3. If they lose to Freo, we get into top 4 due to percentage - regardless of Collingwood vs Brisbane - but only if we win all 3. (Remember, we play GWS in R24. Beat them and, again due to our percentage, we finish above them.)

Collingwood v Brisbane is also vital. Brisbane lose we win all 3 and we can be 4th

Geelong, Port Adelaide and now Brisbane all would need to win ALL of their remaining games for us to miss the top four if we win our last three.

Maybe the Cats are an 80% chance against West Coast and 65% chance against St Kilda. Port 70% against Adelaide and 45% against Fremantle. Brisbane 75% against Collingwood and 75% against Essendon.

0.8*0.65*0.7*0.45*0.75*0.75 = 9% chance of that happening. We'd be very, very unlucky to miss the top four while winning our remaining games.

It?s a glorious day in Adelaide- blue skies and 18 at the moment.

It will be 22 at the first bounce. Great day to be sitting back and drinking a few pints, but might be a struggle to run 15km when you haven?t acclimatised.

*Classic banana skin game- Crows forward line will test us. They are super flakey mentally, but the longer they are in it the better their footy gets.

Shop early, avoid their swagger and trying to win under fatigue.

No counting chickens about other results as yet. Adelaide can be dangerous in patches of games, they can cause us trouble.
We need to be switched on from the opening bounce. Rankine worries me.

ledge

They are beating us by being slow and waiting. But we have butchered the ball inside our own forward line , Naughton and VDM.
No speed , hopefully the end they are kicking is the scoring end.
It’s time for Bont to do his thing.

They?ve played some super spud football this year and with a bit of pressure they definitely have it in them. Problem is that will only come with scoreboard pressure.

Not giving up but holy hell we need a different team to come out after half time.

Then Bramble & Adz. Poulter been ok although a few suss disposals.

Well done Bont. Pressure kick & he nailed it. Weirdly I think we might have a slight chance of coming back in 2nd half. Unlikely but there is a pulse.

Grantysghost

I feel like this group or game plan or whatever ****ing kismet comes with this side means we can't sustain form for longer than a month.

It's why we've never made top 4 and pulled a couple of GFs out of our arse...!

Maybe in 21 we did for a bit but otherwise over Bevo's tenure it just hasn't been there.

We've had our run now it's back to normal.

Scorlibo
11-08-2024, 05:26 PM
That quarter was miles better from a pressure standpoint, we shut down the Crows' handball game with the exception of a moment or two of disarray in the back half. Now we need to find some connection with the ball. Too many fumbles, dropped marks, missed handballs etc.

josie
11-08-2024, 05:26 PM
The experiment with Buku is over. He can't defend.

Sadly I agree. Also I don’t care how quick or how many metres VDM covers. When you are not skilled you have to stick tackles etc. He reminds me of a headless chook. McNeil has been good. Well done young lad.

lemmon
11-08-2024, 05:26 PM
Feel like we're not out of it yet.

We've defended terribly and missed plenty of opportunities. If we can get busy around the contest and start defending some aerial ball into our D50, I feel like we can run over them here.

We?re in desperate need of some good pacy finishers inside 50 to push the likes of VDM out. Until then, he will keep getting picked as the cupboard is bare.

11-08-2024, 05:32 PM
The connection from mid to F50 is our biggest weakness. Makes defending and counter attacking so easy. We?ve been good at covering it over the last month but today we are getting torched.

Jeanette54
11-08-2024, 05:32 PM
Our backline (like every backline) relies on those up field putting pressure on those delivering the ball inside 50. Today Adelaide has had time and space to pick their inside 50 targets.

Can’t fault his endeavour but his decision making and execution is horrible at times. That point after Lobb torp was a butchered opportunity because he missed a free McNeil.
