From my predictions, its hard to see us getting into the top 4. I would have to say we have to win all of our games for us to sneak in there on percentage. I see us coming 6th and playing the Bulldogs in the first week of the finals, which I think could be one matchup we would want to avoid.
Even winning all games, others will have to fall the right way for us to cement a spot in the 4.

MADNow this is a thread that i would expect on the ego -centric, wank session that is redandwhiteonline.com...
Pushin Limits
This is where i had my ladder finishing.
I do believe we can finish in this position, though i think i would prefer to finish fourth as i would much rather play West Coast in the pre-lim @ Subi than the Crows @ AAMI for a spot in the Grand Final.
though io think we can beat West Coast in the First week of the Semi's

I have just gone through and selected us to win all remaing games. If Adelaide drop a couple to Collingwood and Melbourne ( not impossible) we would still finish SIXTH.
Those losses to Collingwood and St Kilda at home have really cost us.
This is strange and highly unexpected but I got some of my predictions wrong this weekend.
I couldn't realistically,IMO, get us to finish in the top 4. I really hope the Aints and Wobbles lose momentum, that is probably the only way we will get top 4.Originally posted by Swanner

While it is technically possible for Sydney to win all remaining games and not go top 4, I'm quite sure it won't happen. It is technically possible for Adelaide to miss the top 4, too. If we go 15-7, we're in.
However, a few weeks back we were 50:50 to make the top 4 if we went 14-8. Now the chances are significantly lower following some unfortunate results, but there is still some chance, primarily relying on one of the following two things happening:
a) Collingwood stuffing up one of their 4 should-win games, provided we have better percentage than them; or
b) the one game we drop not being Melbourne, and Melbourne messing up one more time as well.
The candidates to stuff us up (apart from the main candidate, the Sydney Swans):
Bulldogs: Nope. Vastly inferior percentage to us means they'd have to win every game to be a realistic shot. Several easy games offset by Adelaide (in Melbourne) and St Kilda under the roof. Might win one of those, but extremely unlikely to win both.
Collingwood: In front of a ravenous home crowd desperate for atonement, the Woods would need at least a 40 point start against Adelaide this w/e for it to be an even contest. However, the fact that Port have gone to poo (and no-one can trust the Roos to turn up week-in, week-out) means that despite a likely loss this week, the Woods have the chance to waltz to 15 wins without having to play terribly good footy.
St Kilda: Not a huge concern, for mine. Don't have a single walk-up-start-win game. Their best is still very good, but they haven't been playing consistently. If they can win 4 out of 5 of West Coast (albeit in roofsville), Geelong, Freo in Perth, the Dogs and Brisbane at the Gabba, they'll well and truly deserve it.
Melbourne: Playing great footy, and so asking them to lose 3 out of their last 5 is a bit much. However, their percentage makes them potentially vulnerable, and they finish with Adelaide in Adelaide. Basically, we have to beat them, then hope they lose to one of Geelong in Geelong or (ahem) the Roos.
Weagles: The big win over Adelaide hurt us; because on some calculations (and on the very scratchy form they were showing) they were a chance to drop out of the 4 previously. Now that's a fabulously remote chance which would require them to lose interest completely. The Roos at home, the Gabba where they have an outstanding record, and Richmond, are all games that they would have to try to lose. I think we have to write them off and hope that they continue their good form this week against St Kilda.
