AFL preliminary finals
Submitted by randall df223 on Sun, 2015-09-20 17:24
Ok. First up. Which freo supporter, or at least non hawthorn supporter (willing to support freo on the night) wants to come to the game on friday night with me.
I will be be buying two tickets tomorrow morning but my wife has injured her knee and wont be going.
Cost will be whatever the ticket costs me and I'm notsure what that will be until they're purchased. (The qualifying finals were $80 a ticket).
Its a 6.20 game and ill be going straight from work in the city.

Besides Randall, any chance the 'dyed in the wool' fw weagles or dockers fans will bother to attend the game? The GF would be a stretch but any fan worth their salt would be going this weekend wouldn't they?

Don't worry Randall you'll
Don't worry Randall you'll find someone! I think Eagles will win a hard game over the Roos, Crowley will annoy the crap outa Mitchell if he gets the thumbs up from Ross, and Hawthorn will just win a nail bighter.
On another note I would support the Dockers in every single situation but not this one... If the eagles lose to the Dockers in a grand final or vice versa the loser would be the worst forever and the winner best forever, until the next derby grand final where one would be either justified as the best or changed to even. I'm not saying the Eagles would definitely win either...

I am going to both games
Got my Dockers tickets, now for the Eagles and Roos.
I cheered hard for the Eagles at the game vs the Hawks - love to see a Derby grand final, and am a Roos fan. So don't go Hawks ha ha.
Any Eagles fans with GF packages who want to sell if the unthinkable happens Saturday, let me know.
Loving September footy (and October LOL)

BTW - great offer Randall
I had to sell a kidney to get a ticket, prelims are the best as the fans scream hard and they don't come around very often.
The grand final has more general AFL fans and rich people and corporates. Still amazing.
Hope I get to see all 3 finals...

2 absolute belters this
2 absolute belters this weekend. Would like to see freo get up against the hawks and hopefully make it a derby GF against the eagles. North are coming into this game in some good form but will the travel catch up with them? Would love to see the mighty eagles get up and the whole of WA would be in hysteria. Will be on my laptop at 2pm tomorrow hoping that at least 2 seats are left for the WCE game, its tough to get a ticket if ur not a member, signed up for the waiting list from next year. Good luck to all the teams

Well done Randall , we sat on that side in 130 for the QF good seats though majority of play was on opposite wing that day ..

Cheers guys. A friend
Cheers guys. A friend jumped at the opportunity for the ticket. Premimum seats because you can only select "best available". Tuckets for the qualifying finals were $80. Tickets for the preliminary finals..... $170.... the afl making sure they get some quids to make up for the loss on the sydney v north game when only 31k showed up....

apparently the AFL are now justifying the higher boost in prices for prelim etc as comparable to a concert ticket pricing structure ??

Adelaide's Daniel Talia is facing investigation from the AFL integrity unit on how the Western Bulldogs’ finals plans were leaked to him.
The Bulldogs on Tuesday night confirmed they had asked the league to complete their internal investigation.
The Advertiser understands Bulldogs key defender Michael Talia is having to answer to his club for information he is accused of sharing with older brother Daniel in the week leading up to their knockout final at the MCG on Saturday, September 12

Keeping them guessing at the moment whether Crowley plays .. still he’s pretty handy at being anti social and nullifying Mitchell , Hodge or even Smith would be a bonus . Deboer or Mzungu would come out I’d suspect , I’d keep Suban in just for his aggro . In Ross we trust

Can't see the point in putting in someone that hasn't played for 12 months to try & take out Mitchell or protect Natalie Fyfe.
He will be on the bench from half time with an oxygen mask the only thing holding him up.
Stay with the team that is apparently the best.....

Not at all. Unlike everyone
Not at all. Unlike everyone else who thinks freo cant win or wont win, i think we can win but will have to play our best to achieve that result. Which ever two teams are slightly off could well be having mad monday early. And i reckon that could be any of the four. It was only a couple of weeks back that the eagles were "slighty" off against adelaide and looked what happened. If that team shows up on sunday, there is going to be a few supporters hoping they packed parachutes because theyll be falling from a long way up!
Freo can win, but only if they play well enough.

Havent slept all week, cant eat, stressed out, got bleeding ulcers and intense anxiety, I cant take this anymore, I am so scared, fearin for the worst, so much riding on this, I hope it all goes as I have wished for, its been so long and expectations are at their highest, no, I am not a Fweo fan, it looks as tho I may finally go for a fish on Monday.....
I am, as I've said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary.
