Finals week 2 tips & crowd expectations

[SuperSub17]

EVERY YEAR people talk up the 5-8 sides in the semi final week.

Every year they get beaten. Bookmark this now - Geelong and Sydney will win.

It doesn't matter who Hawthorn gets to play in the Prelim or the Grand Final, no one is stopping us.

I recall that you had also said the same thing before last year's granny.

 

[rapidfire7]

Bias aside i feel this could be a very ugly game for port. Cats by 119, swans by 52

 

[Kickpuncher]

Geelong by 7 in front of 49,436
Sydney by 30 in front of 43,554

Too bad this year there won't be a repeat like everyone is hoping.

 

[Kayaz]

Port Adelaide - 37 points

Carlton - 25 points

knew it

 

[PCORF]

Geelong over Port by 68pts. Crowd 44,000
Sydney over Carlton by 8pts. Crowd 35,000

 

[PCORF]

Cats by 24
Swans by 25

Same old crap

Exactly. Its usually top 4 or nothing.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Port Adelaide - 37 points

Carlton - 25 points

You never disappoint with your tips

 

[Whiskers]

Oooooh I love complacency. Geelong are good at that see you soon

Oooooh I love a hypocrite! Calling on someone for complacency and then having the same attitude of see you soon.

Do non hawk & port supporters really want a cats loss this week? How many of you will be excited about a hawks v port game?
We are limping in here to this game against Port and I have my concerns but believe the Cats will get the job done. This year feels like our 2010 finals campaign.

Swans with the extra two days break should win by 3-4 goals.

 

[The Casey Cat]

Hard to see amyone but Sydney and Geelong winning. I reckon Port will put up a fight for the first couple of quarters though

Port's form this year suggests they are more likely to come home strong and get beaten before that if at all.

 

[Rod Stroker]

As much as most would love the romance of 2 underdogs going further, I can't see it happening this week.

 

[cinderella man]

I'm sure you said the same thing last year

He did and nobody heard from him for 6 months, but alas the dribble is being bestowed upon us once again.

 

[spark12]

Port by 25

Carlton by 41

Swans are cooked.

 

[Pal22]

Geelong vs Port Adel - Power to put up a good fight but can't see Cats going out in straight sets - Cats by 13pts

Sydney vs Carlton - Swans are looking a little shaky, but history suggest the teams who lose QF's bounce back the next week - Swans by 9pts

Crowd Predictions
Geelong vs Port Adel @ MCG - 39,000
Sydney vs Carlton @ ANZ - 43,000

 

[Juddernaut08]

Think we're a chance of beating the Swans. Gibbs for BOG.

Cats by plenty.

 

[FootyJunkie]

Port by 25

Carlton by 41

Swans are cooked.

Stick it up 'em.

Carlton v Port GF = good for footy

 

[Jars458]

Geelong by 37 in front of 63,215
Sydney by 30 in front of 58,524

 

[PowerForGood]

Port Adelaide by 119 points - 65,000
Blues by 1 point (Bootsma late inclusion goal after the siren) - 50,000

I'm tipping the Blues by 1 point (Robinson to punch the ball through the right set of goals this time!)

 

[PAFC_1870]

I think Geelong Port should break 50k.

Doesnt help when we reguarly play them after losses too

Flights over for the game are looking at $1k return and growing too... f that.

 

[JackFlash]

Port Adelaide 15points 46,000

Sydney 18points 48,000

Swans are cooked.

As far as being able to compete with the top 3 in the top 4 yes they are well and truly out of petrol, but if you think Carlton will win by 7 goals and we are on the subject of being cooked, then you have had your head in the oven for to long. You are talking about a side who was not good enough to even make the 8 flogging a side who even though probably the weakest of the top 4 over the past month was likely only to lose to their nemesis Collingwood if they were going to get beaten by a side from the bottom half of the 8. Trust me if they do salute on the weekend it will not excuse the Tigers losing to a side week 1 of finals who were not good enough to make the finals and fell in by default.

It'd be nice if Carlton won as I reckon we'd do them easily at Subi but there's been a bit too much love for them in here. Sydney are still a comfortably better side and should win at ANZ.

Pull your head in dude, the Hawks are in a good position nothing more nothing less.

I Fancy our chances against Sydney tbh, but your mob will beat us in Subi if we get there. we would never leave the ground alive if for 0.01% we pulled an upset against Freo. I reckon a movie "Hotel Subiaco" would be a top box office hit in 2017 if we try to rob you on that day.lol
