Wow, you bombers supporters really are delusional:.
 
Duckman has talked me into it, so I'll tip the Bombers. What a great weekend of finals footy coming up.

So for the bragging rights next week (I hope):
WCE
Geelong
Saints
Essendon
 
Wow Collingwood have a pretty flat game vs geelong in which they had very little to gain from with a win and everybody says that they are gone.

It should be noted that 2 weeks ago geelong had been written off by most people and after 1 game they are all of a sudden raging favourites.

Geelong (12 points)
Collingwood (23 points)
St kilda (40 points)
Carlton (6 points)
 
Yeh im surprised also by all the people tipping the Weagles. Unfortunately i think Collingwood will belt them

Me too. My original position doesn't change, I don't think West Coast stand a chance on Saturday.

But I will be going to the game anyway, decked out in all my WCE kit (and probably get rained on). A win is only a tiny chance, but well worth going to the game because DAMN it would be great to rub it in the faces of 70K+ Pies fans if they do get over the line!!!! :

And a loss isnt the end of the world, Bombers and Blues will smash the hell out of each other on Sunday, and the winner will get demolished in Perth the following week.
 
Hopes look very grim for any Hawthorn supporters with buddy hurting his leg and looks like he wont be playing any part in this years finals series.

I believe the supporters of the saints should be the happiest people right now as long as they can beat the swans at the dome. Hawthorn minus buddy should equal a win for the saints if they happen to get over the line on the weekend.

But the saints happiness will be short lived and dont think they can beat collingwood if they happen to get there.

Collingwood vs Geelong in the big dance for me.
 
I'll keep a running total of the tips during the finals series, anyone wanting to enter now will need a convincing case that they'd have tipped Geelong last night, but I'm guessing that the majority would have. So far we have Tink, Logique, nomore4s, Duckman, vkdirector and marioland.
 
Well Hawthorn were pretty much smashed by Geelong. we were beaten in pretty much every facet of the game, none of our good players could exert any real influence on hte match and their big guys just killed us. Our backline is just too small.

Geelong are now my favorites to win the flag, comprehensive wins over the Hawks & Pies two weeks in a row, really can't see anyone beating them.

Hawthorn are no chance to win the flag now even if Buddy is ok to play next week. We are 1 and a half key defenders short and our ruck division can't really compete with the rucks of the other top 4 sides. Stratton in for Schoenmakers next week takes care of the half a backman but will still be a key defender short imo.
 
Hah Eagles and Cats for the final ... Eagles will nail them ... I'll jump back into my Delorean to 1993 and buy gold futures ... ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Based on Buddy's exit last night I have updated my expected results and Bombers will now be playing in the GF with Collingwood.

Not sure about Heppell as Norm Smith Medalist - sorry if you used my previous post to invest your hard earned.

On a positive note Nomores will still be with us on ASF.

Duckman
 

Good on you Logique, looks like we have both lost one, boohoo. I have to say for a side that were Premiers last year, West Coast kept them on their toes.
God, it annoys me when they play kick to kick, wasting time.

Yep, have to agree nomore4s, Geelongs looking good.

LOL Duckman, your game has sold out tomorrow, sons going : )
 
Well I'm in very ordinary shape, 1 for 3, and it will be 1 for 4 if Essendon don't get up this afternoon.
 
Given how many passengers the WCE had (young players) Collingwood looked very beatable.

Petty about the Hawks thought they were real contenders.

Geelong premiers I think.
 
Wow what a game Sunday infront of 91,000 people, son has come home happy : )

Carlton playing in the West will be a test.

Sydney vs Hawthorn

Carlton vs West Coast

I wonder why they have set up night games for next weekend
 
The tale of the tape, Tink and vkdirector have streaked ahead with 3 wins, while Logique has plenty of work to do on just 1.

Tink...3 wins
vkdirector...3
nomore4s...2
Duckman...2
marioland...2
Logique...1

Next week - the Eagles host Carlton, and Hawthorn have the Swans. I'll go with the Eagles and Swans.
 
Hawks are a fair weather team, literally. They like it warm, prefer the day time matches and a big crowd. Only one of those was satisfied on Friday night. At the moment you'd have to back Swans, unless the weather changes.
 
I'm tipping Hawks and Eagles for this week. Hawks weren't good last week but should be up to beating the Swans, Buddy or not. Wouldn't write them off for premiers either, anything can happen in finals.
