TOPIC:

My maths is not all that great but 5 teams into 2 places doesn't go.

Perth - Cl (H), SF (A), Subi (A) - could potentially lose all 3. Must win next week to have a good chance of getting through.
EP - Peel (A), EF (H), WP (H), Peel (A) - Should beat EF then will need to beat Peel at least once or WP to qualify.
Cl - Perth (A), Peel (H), SD (A) - Could win all 3 but more likely 2 with wins against Peel or Perth and SD.
SD - Subi (A), SF (H), Cl (H) - Very tough draw and can see them losing all.
Peel - EP (H), Cl (A), EP (H) - I don't think they'll beat Cl away so need to beat EP twice to make it which will be tough.
So based on the above, imo the 2 to make the finals will be Claremont and EP.

Good analysis BC. Next weeks Perth V Claremont game will be massive for both clubs prospects. Biggest game at Lathlain for many years. I am hoping the Dee's can sneak in.

Yep...all eyes on Lathlain next week. If Perth win then I think they'll be ok given they're a game ahead of the others and a better percentage than the Tiges so then it's down to Claremont and EP for the final spot as I don't think Peel can make it. Claremont are a good chance to win their remaining 2 and EP will just have to win 2 of their next 4 games starting this weekend given they have a slightly better percentage than the Tiges which they should be able to do….so that means Perth v Claremont next week is really for a place in the finals if everything else goes as it should....interesting times.

Of course, BC, the problem with winning just 2 games of 4 means you lose the other 2 (ignoring draws).
And if the wins are by a few points and the losses by 10-plus goals, your percentage cops a rogering.
I think teams eyeing 4th or 5th spot will need to win 9 games to be sure of getting there.

Yep agree...9 wins will make it a certainty whereas 8 will put you in the mix. My assumptions are premised on there being no blow outs either way.

In a season which many have said is quite ho hum, if Cl and EP win next week, there will be 4 teams all on 28 pts with 2 games to play....sometimes it's the journey not the destination which should be remembered....yeah Subi should win the GF, but having 7 teams in finals contention with a few rounds to go is a positive thing one would think....the next games for Perth, Cl, Peel and EP are all 8 pointers practically.....

Freezin are you FINALLY convinced what we have known for weeks that Swans are out of the running?

42 considering SD kept Subi goalless in the second quarter and trailed by 5 pts at half time, there could still of been 8 teams vying for the finals....sadly SD didn't venture out of the sheds after half time....any reason why?

How would I know?

Thought you were in cahoots with Hodyl.....drop him a line asking Pete why SD didn't venture out of the sheds after half time, in a game they were trailing by 5 points, against the top team, who they had kept goalless that quarter, with a finals berth still on the offering.....surely Pete could enlighten you mate.....you can't ask DW because he left after the colts game.....
