It's a fair assessment, but keep in mind that yesterday we were only two or three isolated acts away from winning and being in 13th today.
It looks to me like Norp, the Swans and Dawks are only another unexpected loss away from packing up for 2017. They probably have to win another 7 or 8 games to even have a chance of sneaking into the 8.
The smart thing for us to do is finish below them, the smart thing for them to do if and when they sign out for 2017 is to finish as low as possible. We play them all in the 2nd half of the season except for Collingwood, I won't be surprised to find any or all of them resting players and sending them for surgery!
CheatsFC have the softest run into the finals of any club, Swans have the hardest.
It was interesting at the weekend, just about every expert asked thinks Freo is over-rated and they will slide before season end. A couple of the experts wrote them off as having lucky wins due to opposition injuries, etc., etc.. How far could they slide?
Under the current system nobody wants to finish 9th or 10th, that is like the old harness racing "death!"
