We were 5th on the ladder heading into the final round and we were playing Fremantle in Perth with us being heavy favourites, as the Dockers finished 14th (3rd last) that year. Most of us expected to win with a top 4 spot up for grabs provided North lost to Port in the same round.
What subsequently happened was that we lost to Fremantle by 4 goals on the Friday night and North squandered their chance for a top 4 spot losing to Port, rubbing salt into the wound that we missed our chance. In the end, St Kilda came out of nowhere and made the top 4.
I've seen too many screw ups in the past to be supremely confident. If we bring our best and do the basics well, we should be winning next week's game. |

| With Sydney playing Hawthorn at the SCG next week, it is likely we will end up third. |

| ^ Well, home and away are definitely not the same thing. (Just ask Richmond... Well, don't do that. Ask them in a fantasy world in which they are honest.) |

If we go over there and they set out to play bruise free footy cause finals loom, we will get rolled.
This week ain’t about ability, it’s about attitude. |

I don't mind third.
It would be back to back Perth trips but i reckon the Eagles are undermanned at the moment.

Mate Freo lost by 133 today.
And they have to travel back to Melbourne
again next week.
It will be like backing Winx. |
The game is in WA. |
Bloody hell ...i got that wrong.
In Freo ....still ...we will most likey win. |
Until we post a winning score next week over in the West, it’s a string bag.

Historians are worse than pessimists.

We won't know where we end up until Sat night so we have everything to play for. |

Bloody St Kilda can never get anything right. One more goal and we’d be even harder to topple from the top 4. Still, our percentage is up, theirs down.
