I think even with the Caaarlton game ,if it was a win ,we still needed two and a half more to get after that game ,But looking at the ladder 38 points for eighth,so still a game and a half out ,even with the win against the dogs,Collingwood's draw got them in.Also Melbourne and Collingwood has 10% better than us.
As much as the Carlton game still makes me cringe it was not the reason we missed out."Triple stuff up",you betcha.
