Finals footy is finally here.
Submitted by sea-kem on Mon, 2012-09-03 08:53
So who's going to win this weekend? I reckon the Eagles will get over the Roos and I think the Dorkers can do the Cats they are playing a good brand of footy at the moment and are hungry. Swans over the crows and what can the Pies come up with against the rampant Hawks? I'll toss acoin on that one cause it's a different ball game finals footy. Should all be good games.

Not sure what Vince is on
Not sure what Vince is on about, case of deja vu methinks but nothing beats Buddy's comment last night "it was good to get up and get the four points"
Lol what a retard but then again he is hardly being paid to go for a Rhodes Scholarship

Cmon man
Dont just bag a good player coming from sandgroper land. He is from Gero I believe, and just because he is good and plays for a dick team IMO no point in bagging him.
Cmon West Aussies. Lets form our own country and flog the rest.

It would be nice if they gave
It would be nice if they gave the Dockers some credit but they kept on harping on about the Cats....'oh will we see a magical comeback by the Cats blah blah vomit vomit'
720 on the other hand, balanced commentating imo...pulling no punches for the Cats and giving the Dockers tires a deserved pump up.

How good is the Pav. This team is getting better all the time. Great effort by Ross Lyon in his first year.
Future looks real good.

Freo have to admit looked
Freo have to admit looked bloody good tonight. Shirt off Pav deserved that win he is hungry. I reckon they can do the Crows too. I think I have picked true this weekend Hawks will win the flag barring a boil over of some sorts from Sydney the only team I reckon can upset them now. So far an awesome weekend of footy.
Love the West!

Big scalp
Big scalp taken by freo last night, Adelaide is thf only team that has beaten the dockers in the last 10 weeks so we will see if they have improved from then on Friday night.
Last time they played Adelaide it was a tight contested battle should look forward to the same again

don't think so,
reasons, you don't get a 9 day break,don't play on your home ground, not playing no 8 team who had to travell and play in 29 degree heat, don't worry maggies cant wait to get it on!Pies by 17.

I sense some nervous vibes there Uncle
I see plenty of cracks in the Pies lineup and if the Eagles get going then I can't see the Pies stopping them. Having said that, it's just another week in footy and all will be revealed over the weekend. I'm not sure about the Dockers. There is a lot of factors going against them but they do have form.

Maxwell out
Geee a big loss. The skipper and all. That's not a good situation. Eagles will fight for the big Q. Win or lose that fight it's not that bad as he may well not have been selected depending on conditions. It's a given that we would rather have him available. Waters is a sad story in anyone's books but we do have backup there. I still feel the nervous vibes in your commentary Uncle LOL. Have another scotch mate.. and I'll have 1/2 as well unless you can spare some more

Man is it one tight season
I dont recall a team coming from 8th ever to win a flag, but the form the Dockers are in watch out, it is highly possible.
Read some of my posts early on about the Dockers, they just didnt have that "Xfactor". Lyon has done it. Now they play a brand off footy that is unbelievable from mid season when I wrote them off.
Sorry Adelaide but I suspect your done, and then watch out whoever.
Now for my favourite team. Tighter race for them IMO. Eagles vs Collingwood??? Roos arent the pies by any stretch. Tight but I believe confidence plays a huge part in footy. The draft tries to tighten the comp up and this year has been epic in its closeness. Freo has this confidence now - fantastic. So eagles on confidence. And if I have this right, then Sydney. Bloody Sydney again.
My fav teams: Eagles, Dockers, Sydney, Brisbane, Gold Coast, GWS, Essendon, Adelaide, PA .........Hawks and Collingwood last!!!
Essendon in there because they were my favourite VFL team. Hawks 2nd last because when I came to Oz they won everything, Collingwood -well we all know why.
So Sydney and eagles after the Pies - Eagles by 2points!!! Bold prediction this far out, but us Rugby players arent scared off sticking our heads out on the block, but I wished I grew up here, as footy is a fantastic fast, fun game to watch and would have been great to play. As a 14yo State Rugby player I was not going to convert then and when Rugby destroyed my shoulders at state U21 and first grade level I was a croc to change then. If only!!!
GF-- Freo and eagles??? If this happens I would love to read the thread on here. I will be one happy camper either way.
PS I havent looked at the finals and who plays who, but suspect I am right. Please correct this ignoramus if I am incorrect.

7th
Just to correct a few freo finished 7th, not a great deal of difference except it stopped the home derby and some embarrassment to wc supporters
Adelaidewould be worried we really should have beaten them last time without fyfe and sandi plus they had talia who held pav very well. Since then freo has improved the pressure they are applying now

Cheeky Bugger
Freo would have got flogged at home yesterday also.
I love all the radio feedback re: Freo commentary during the game particularly by Brian Taylor. What a crock and I did feel for Freo supporters (a bit) as it just seemed that despite the flogging in the 1st quarter the Cats were always going to win. The fact is they didn't deserve to win because they were not good enough. Stiff shit! and good on Freo.
Anyway, enough sucking up to you Rig. Adelaide in Adelaide are always tough. Sydney were all over them like a rash and thats typical of how they play anywhere. Adelaide will be going hard at it so it will take the best Freo have had to offer this year to get up.

The pies look spent
WC were on fire yesterday against a NM side that was nothing more than shitful. Should get the better of Collingwood in a close one.
Freo will dong the Crows who also look like they have trained off.
The following weekend they will choke the shite out of the Hawks and go on to become the first team to win the flag from so far back.

I share your sympathy John
Too young. Too keen to party and not too well managed. It seems he was alone. Who knows? It's a sad loss and I am sure all the AFL players and associates will be feeling this loss. Just like the rest of us.
