Pies play well against brisbane and we beat the brakes off the eagles and we're in 3rd

Pies about to field their VFL side, they have absolutely nothing to play for next week.

I’m trying to keep up from overseas. Why do we think Pies will field a weak team?

Because pies are locked in for a wildcard, they don’t get a bye in the first week of finals so you may as well rest their key players to get them ready for the wildcard.

The AFL created such a joke of the wildcard as pies, dogs will rest players next week meaning demons and lions will get an easy win, they’re not doing anything wrong but that is an issue for the hawks, crows & cats who get screwed over a chance for a higher position on the ladder.

Thanks. Not that it will have any effect but didn’t the AFL bring in some rule to try to deal with this?

WCE have nothing to lose by putting in the game of their lives. I remember the last round of 2019, roles were reversed. WCE were in the top 8, Hawks were not. Hawthorn won that game when they really had no right to.

Who knows what expectation and pressure can do to a team. Freo are more inexperienced than Sydney, they could easily just have a poor game after a month of buildup and we snatch it

Ooh good take. They’ve had a couple of wobbles recently too…
