Logique, you would be happy your team is in the Grand Final
Surprised you tipped against them.

One more game until the big one

Oops missed my tips

Crows over Hawthorn

Why
I'm a crows supporter.
I hope we win or get thrashed.
Who ever beats Hawthorne wins the flag.

No need to rub it in Tink I expected more from the Pies, but obviously things caught up with them. I can guarantee you my tip for next week will be Sydney!

 

[Tink]

LOL Logique, at least you broke the hoodoo.
My neighbours ecstatic, old Sth Melb supporter

My rant -- couldnt believe that poor goalie last night having to put up with those collingwood supporters yelling at her after the video showed that it was a point not a goal, at least she did it the right way and checked the video first.

Collingwood would have to have one of the more talented teams in the AFL but are not playing like it..........is Buckley the problem do you think?

Loved it when the commentators saw the video and said "Oh well, no one could disagree with that", cue vision of irate Pies supporters yelling at umpy

Well done Swans! I confess I was hoping they'd beat Collingwood even though it would be better for Hawks to play Pies than Swans I think, if we make the Grand Final (lid firmly on).

I don't know but he always seems a bit laid back to me and a bit too 'reasonable', in that he can see why they lost etc. Maybe he needs a bit more passion or something Hard to know how he relates to the players as well, does he have the same respect as Mick did? Collingwood have had a bit to contend with off field this year that wouldn't have helped either.

Hawks vs Crows - what a fanastic finish to a toughly contested and entertaining game of footy. I wouldn't have picked this to be the close prelim during the week - but it contained everything that makes preliminary finals special. Credit to the Hawks for hanging on (they seem to have proven they can tough it out when it matters a few times this year to silence the doubters).

Next week is line ball - Swans have an extra day to rest and had an easier game. Tonight may have taken a bit of the wind out of the Hawks and any advantage they had. I think they are both on equal footing now and both in good form. Interesting to see how Sydney handle the MCG after breaking the Collingwood hoodoo finally.

Phew! Got back from the G a couple of hours ago and I am still recovering. That one was a bit close Well done to the Crows for playing so well, Hawks will need to kick straight and fumble a lot less next week.

 

[Tink]

Excellent game to watch being a neutral. The Crows gave them a good run for their money.

The Hawks didnt seem as good as they have been, especially that they played in Melbourne, will make for an interesting Grand Final next week.

My tip for the final
SYDNEY
If only to see Alistair Clarkson
Loose it.
He's as good as Eddie Maguire
To watch pout!

 

[Logique]

Summary with only the GF to go. JTLP is looking strong, but sufficient uncertainty about the Hawks vs Swans next week to make it interesting.

Well done the Crows, who never quit. With Collingwood, that looked a goal, it was only the replay that showed it was above the knee. Sure put the goalie in a tough spot.

It's very possible now for the Swans, who are peaking at the right time, whereas the Hawks looked sluggish against the Crows. Players like Goodes, Kennedy and Jetta might get the attention, but O'Keefe in the middle and Morton up front have made a big difference.

Could the AFL flag go to Sydney and the NRL to Melbourne with the Storm.

Totally agree I doubted the Crows would show up but did they ever great game

 

[JTLP]

Hawks were sluggish and very woeful infront of the big sticks. Hopefully not a repeat for the big dance. Well done to Adelaide who played their heartsd out but I'm glad I get to watch my boys next week

Will have to come back and drop my tip in...very tough to pick now.

 

[nomore4s]

Go the Hawks, everyone should know my tip. Should be a great game.

 

[Logique]

The weather looks to be a big factor now, especially if it's rain and hail!
