OK, so one round to go and it seems there is an ever so slight hope that we can still make the finals.
Courtesy of the Dees beating the crows yesterday.
We currently sit 4th @ 3-3.
Crows+Dees are 2nd+3rd @4-2
We need to beat the lions
and
we need the crows to lose against colingwood
we need the dees to lose against freo.
Then it will be a 3-way tie on 4-3, which will come down to %.
We are already ahead of Dees, so we just need to focus on the crows.
We basically need a 10 goal difference between us to make up the %.
They lose by 1 point, we win by 10 goals
they lose by 5 goals, we win by 5 goals.
They lose by 10 goals, we win by a point.
etc
So...if Adelaide win, they are in.
If Adelaide lose, and melbourne win, melbourne are in.
If Adelaide lose and melbourne lose and carlton win....and (Adelaides losing margin + Carltons winning margin) > 10 goals, Carlton are in.
Clear as mud?
IF we do get through, we would be forced to go back to back games against the team we just beat to make the finals, Brisbane Lions, except the final would be at their ground (i believe).
In any event, lets just win and finish with a winning record for the year.
