Order the 1st Week of Finals as to how they interest you.

[brad]

Not involving your own team (oooops if they're in it)

1. Hawthorn Vs Geelong - games often go either way, MCG, big crowd and the loser will be facing either North or my Bombers in Week 2.

2. Sydney Vs Fremantle - think Freo would be rapt to have this game played at ANZ.

3. Port Adelaide Vs Richmond - predicted the game to be close, but, could easily see the bubble burst in a big way. KB tweets Richmond is now everyone's 2nd favourite team. Oh really???

Strangely they're the order in which they're being played.

1. Hawks v Geelong - see who we will probably be hosting in the Prelim final.

2. Port v Richmond - how far can Richmond take their form?

3. North v Essendon - see who we will be hosting in the Prelim final if they also win SF.

 

[HolyWars]

Swans-Dockers
Port-Tigers
North-Bombers.

 

[Quokka]

Same the order they're being played in and just personally I hope Port smash 'everyone's second favourite team'.

 

[The GOAT]

Everyone will have the same order, that being, the order which the games are being played in

[Unique Name]

Hawks v Geelong = After Chris Scott's comments after their last game really want to see what happens.
Rich v Port = Imagine if Richmond won!
Bombers v North = Meh

 

[Crawb]

Port V Richmond - Could Richmond actually be a contender?
Hawthorn V Geelong - Hawthorn V Geelong, enough said.
Sydney V Fremantle - Meh
North V Essendon - Double meh

 

[master bate]

Hawks v Geel

The other 3 interest me about as much as a good Friday night game of footy. I really think Sydney will just be too good for Freo although if it's close I might be more interested. Elimination finals, well they can be fun, but in the scheme of things are pretty boring.

 

[TheKanga]

Hawthorn vs. Geelong
Port vs. Tigers
Sydney vs. Freo

I can't handle the build up to the finals, memories of 2012 are still there....

 

[Mezz]

Haw v Cats - should be another tight, quality game

Port v Rich - really hope Port can smash them out of the park ('everyone's second team' )

Ess v NM - a very distant third

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

1. Hawthorn v Geelong

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

Apart from the Hawks/Cats clash, I'm really interested in seeing the Sydney/Freo game. Remembering last year how Freo pwned Sydney in one of the most amazing examples of defensive footy I've ever seen. I think the Swans will be looking to make amends for that loss on Saturday.

Most people I think are putting Port game over North game.

 

[Jobe]

Ess v North - Game of the round/year

 

[Balance]

Port vs Tigers
Swans vs Freo

 

[Iron]

Sydney v Freo
Port v Richmond
Hawks v Geelong
North v Essendon

 

[Run n Spread]

1 Swans v Dockers- A cracker which could go either way. Interesting to see if swans guns or Freos defensive style wins out and can Freo's new found turbo charged scoring power stand up in September.

2 Hawthorn v Geelong - another that could go either way. Will be a bruising game and the winner will be grateful for the week off. Loser thou not necessarily out of it.

3 Port v Richmond - Tigers have the momentum and could be troubling for Port, who probably would've rather played any of the other contenders (even Adelaide). Possible upset.

4 North v Essendon - Anyones a chance, a possible semi win but would be extraordinary if any of these sides got on a streak and won 3 on the trot. Another that could go either way.

My tips
Dockers by 13
Hawks by 9
Port by 35
Essendon by 28

Amazing how people are actually putting the Tigers V Port game higher in importance simply because the Tigers happened to win their games in a lot rather than a spread throughout the year and scrape into the finals by a bees dick against a Sydney team that couldn't have cared less.

"Suddenly" they're a finals contender as opposed to the teams above them who have been more consistent throughout the year, by playing the 5th placed club in their first outing.

Yawn.

People have forgotten, it's Richmond.

 

[Parquet Court]

Freo and swans
Hawks and cats
Ess and north - not a lot of interest in the 'other' elim final.

 

[EdgeOfReason]

Port vs Richmond
Hawthorn vs Geelong
Sydney vs Fremantle
North vs Essendon

 

[Latour]

Sydney v Freo
Port v Richmond
Hawks v Geelong
North v Essendon

I agree

 

[Fadge]

Where's Dan26 to tell us all that Qualifying Finals are meaningless?

 

[Papa G]

Sydney v Freo. This is the big game of the round. The winner of this will play Hawthorn in the Grand Final.
