    We're getting desperate once we start hoping for draws.

    A high scoring draw would also help percentage wise. Now that's getting desperate!

    Our biggest problem with missing the 4 is not winning 4 straight but the prospect of travel to Adelaide or Perth mixed in. When we won the flag we played away in Perth week 1 home week 2 melbourne week 3 melbourne week 4. Now with the way the ladder could end up you never know we might get something like Home week 1 Away to Port week 2 then away to West Coast Week 3.
    We have noone but ourselves to blame though- we should of won tonight, we should of defeated the bombers and we should of really beaten WCE in Rd 1. Those are just 3 games that we have thrown away this year. We have nobody but ourselves to blame for our predicament.

    Hard to see the required combos happening- really probably need Port to win tomorrow but then it gives them a massive chance at making the 4 and then a 3 in 4 chance of getting either Geelong WCE or Port away if we make it through week 1. The only two teams I fear come finals time are Geelong or West Coast, but its a very tough ask to expect us to win 4 straight with travelling involved.

    Saying that, if we missed the 4 and got the right draw it could be Sydney in week 1 and then Melbourne for the other 3 weeks which would be doable!

    Definetly going to be a draw tomorrow.... I can feel it!

    A draw has about a 1 in 80 chance of happening. On the other hand, a major upset happens more often than that. I'd be barracking for a few underdogs in the next few weeks. Be sure to read ugg's barracking guides!
