1 15
2 15
3 14
4 13
5 12
6 10
7 8
8 8
9 7
10 5
11 5
12 3
13 1
WB game is before ours so we will know what we need to do.

If the Pies win today they'll go to 64
If I'm reading it right that'll secure their top 4 spot.

We on the other hand will still be fighting for a finals position.
We'll have the incentive...they may be looking to 'manage' a few players with reduced roles and avoiding injury.

Need to bring last nights effort.

Dunno if I subscribe to this, I have always thought no matter where we both are on the ladder, its on like donkey kong. Both want to beat their arch rivals.

That's true...but it's not often we get the situation that faces us next weekend.

No we don't, and lets hope it never has to happen again.

Yep is strange usually we are discussing tanking and working our way to the 1st pick in the draft...
Booing of Cripps will be feral next week too, Pies fans will be out for some fun and I did find it annoying last night and it will only be worse when those duffle coated muppets start doing it...

I suspect the arch rivals notion is more for older supporters and older players. I think with the game going national, plus the draft, salary cap, no more traditional zones etc., I think the current players don't really see those traditional rivalries. It sounds like reading lines off a cue card when modern players talk about it. I remember Malthouse saying that those old territorial battles were a thing of the past when he was our coach, and I'd have to say I tend to agree.

I could not disagree more.

No worries. We can agree to disagree.
