This Year's AFL Premiers

[Sith1s]

What does everyone this about the Hawks making the top 8 this year?

I just see our chances getting smaller & smaller...

No chance, we suck this year.

No chance, we suck this year.

I hope you suck big time in Round 22.

I've a feeling that we will need to win that game to make the eight.

Collingwood are playing good footy at the right time. Has Fraser been playing? I think he is still to come back in and weaken the side.

lol, I think we won't win another game this year.

Some of our players are morons - Taylor & Lewis come to mind . I hope Max Bailey comes on after his knee so we can F Taylor off next year.

 

[Sith1s]

Add Dowler into that too!

Doesn't help now that one of the twin towers (roughhead) is out for the rest of the year now....


I get the feeling we're not a happy team at Hawthorn.

The Saints looking really good. If they don't get stage fright and the weather is fine on the big day, the Saints should do it.
The pressure and hunger that the Saints play with is 1st class. Last week was a perfect example. That's what the Hawks have only shown a few times this year.
The Cats for me are not playing with enough pressure and hunger, we do have some injuries but that is no reason for not putting pressure on the opposition.
I hate how a lot of forwards during a play on call deep in their forward 50, stand 10 to 15 metres away form the opposition jumping up and down on the same spot and waving their arms in the air. In the mean time the opposition player has time to pin point a pass. Instead of running at the player and putting the pressure on, in most cases causing a turn over or a contested mark.
The Saints are doing this really well. Damn you Tudor!!!!
The Pies are dangerous if your not on your game!

Footy finals - I enjoy this time of year

Too bad we cant flip the ladder and Melbourne would be on top : lol

Sons happy Carltons in

1st Elimination Final
ADELAIDE (5th) v ESSENDON (8th)

2nd Qualifying Final
GEELONG (2nd) v WESTERN BULLDOGS (3rd)

2nd Elimination Final
BRISBANE LIONS (6th) v CARLTON (7th)

1st Qualifying Final
ST KILDA (1st) v COLLINGWOOD (4th)

I am not fussed with any of the teams in, but if I had to pick one, I would go for the Bulldogs - hope they make it

Be good to see the Bullies and St Kilda play off, but would feel sorry to see Geelong to miss it. Will back in the Saints as a sentimental favourite.
My team (WCE) was never really a chance after the first few weeks!

Looks like a great finals series.
Bring back the biff! What do you expect when everyone is playing hot potato, someones got to mash the pack. Bad luck Buddy and LLoydie.

 

[GumbyLearner]

The SAINTS!

Yes but the last 5 weeks showed the future will be bright. Wouldn't be surprised to see us in the finals next year, mathmatically we didnt miss out my that much this year and we had an awful year. With the likes of Naitinui, Priddis, and LeCras (5th in the league for goal kicking!) I think West Coast's future is very bright!

 

[Mofra]

Bulldogs on the back of good recent form should be feeling pretty confident, beating 2nd, 4th & 6th in the past 3 weeks.

A Geelong again after a victory 2 weeks ago will give us the break to rest some bodies and give us a much better crack at the prelim than last year.

Don't count your chickens just yet. The Cats may turn this into a tackle-fest to neutralise the Dogs running game.

Looking at current form i'd say the crows are peaking perfectly! they are definitely the dark horse! Very interesting to see how the go this Friday night considering Essendon have beating Collingwood and saints this year (I know they dont have their full team in).

I dont think Collingwood are much hope.

Saints, Doggies or Geelong are all serious chances but i think it will be Adelaide vs Saints in the GF.

Carn you crows!

 

[Tink]

Saints, Doggies or Geelong are all serious chances

Yep, I think 2 of those teams will be in the Grand Final

 

[Gspot]

When you way up experience and games played at MCG, it's Collingwood and Geelong all the way. Home ground advantage for StKilda doesn't exist since they have played only once compared to the Pies 13 times.
Fairness doesn't have a role in this comp, only $$$$$.

Well look at the crows then! they flogged Collingwood at the MCG, they should have beat Geelong at skilled - bloody chapman!!
And the crows kicked the highest score of the year at Etihaad.
At the start of the season the crows were doing better playing away than at home.

I think it's a disadvantage for the Pies playing so many games at the MCG because they will get use to it, but other clubs it will be a different experience and most usually relish it! There are only so many blockbusters that one club can play in a season.

Good game to Adelaide - had a feeling they would win

My predictions for this weekend are --

Western Bulldogs
Carlton
St Kilda

to win..

 

[jbocker]

That was a fade out by Carlton, I thought they had it sown up at 3/4 time. Good effort Brizzy. Adelaide seem to be putting it together at the right time.

Looking forward to todays encounter. Roast Dinner, Beer, Fathers Day, good game of footy, To quote. THATS what I am talking about!

Sure was. That's what happens when you arrogance and opinion of yourself doesn't match your skill or endeavor!!

Hopefully that will burn them into some proper work and tactics next year
