You have absolutely no idea - both Sydney v WCE games for quite some time were only separated by a few points each time they played each other so don't know where you get your information from - must be looking in the wrong place!!

I reckon Hawthorn can get it done.

I keep thinking that we need to win that first PF to have a shot. If we go down first week (most likley) the Hawk's finals run would look like this: Perth - Melbourne - Perth - Melbourne
That probable Perth QF would be tough.

that was the start of the close games though. The qualifying final in 2005. On Grand Final day, leading up to the bounce, the Swans did start favourites. Extra days rest, good form and really did only lose the qualifying final thanks to us getting some dubious free kicks that led to goals { Stenglein } and we were missing our two leading goal kickers for the season in Phillip Matera and Q Lynch.
BULLDOGS OUT OF NOWHEEEEEEEEEEERE!!!!!
...nah, Hawks.

Yes I agree, if you can beat West Coast in the first final in Perth, then the Hawks would be a huge chance to win it!

Hawthorn I think, I would have it in order of chance:
Hawthorn > Fremantle, Sydney and West Coast > Richmond > Dogs, North and Adelaide.

Wouldn't rule out a champion team like your lot even after a loss first up. Lions, Swans, Eagles in 2003, 05 and 06 all lost first up in the finals yet won the big dance weeks later. Crows in 98 too. Hawks are well equipped than anyone to taste defeat yet get back up off the canvas and reign supreme.

Fair enough. And your right I remember that too. But North are much more predictable at the moment. You don't even need to watch the game and when you check the result it's almost always what you expect.
Lions, Swans and Eagles are all interstate teams used to travelling. Hawks aren't.
Would've loved this to be true last week.

Doesn't matter imo. They've played in the last 3 grand finals and have been clearly the best in recent times. They can win anywhere, against anyone, in any way.
Can never count out a champion.

The difference being that in that streak of 11 wins, they often got us by a couple of points or came from behind. We were in winning positions in all but 1 game.
Free vs Hawthorn has often been a blowout of recent times. Not to say you couldn't win, as our H&A match showed last year, just that the comparison is not at all similar .

Last game in Tasmania was a blow out. Game prior, Fremantle convincingly won at Subiaco.

I'm very confident that it's Fremantle's year.

West Coast over Fremantle by 36 points.
I'm predicting West Coast to beat Hawthorn in the QF, and Hawthorn have another prelim decided a goal or less (would be 5 in a row
), but the double trip to Perth will too much for them. Fremantle will lose because Ross is a hack who doesn't know how to win a GF.

would you rather play the hawks in the qualifier or the prelim?

Prelim in Perth thanks. That would mean they are on their second trip to Perth in three weeks and playing their third final in a row.
and you'll both smash the crap out of each other - then have to back up the next week.
while west coast have the good luck to know even if they lose they week one they get to stay home for two more games. first isn't any advantage over second at all in the modern final 8 system - if anything it's a disadvantage. might explain why more premiers come from second.

Yeah I'm a bandwagoner because I joined this forum last year, what have I heard. You want all my signed jumpers? I have a Trent Croad one you might like
