Don't know about you guys but i'm pretty comfortable with Geelong at the MCG first week of the finals.

We could potentially play them 4 times this season. 3 times in 5 weeks.

well I wouldn't mind port or freo at the G

Thing is Collingwood are completely decimated and an 80 to 120 point win is quite likely if we r half trying

and I think Sydney wont be trying to hard against Richmond with the later going hammer and tongs

 

[Garf]

I'm hoping that Richmond give it all and if the $wans take the foot off at all then they may struggle.

We're playing a decimated team with youngsters keen to impress. I'm not expecting a massive blowout.

 

[Hodginator]

Anyone got an idea on when our first final would be, assuming we finish 2nd?

I think usually the 2 v 3 game is Saturday night, probably at the MCG.

If we beat Geelong in the QF then we will in all likelihood get one of those clubs in a QF.

Ok so Roughy (57) going into last round 9 goals off Franklin (68) in the Coleman. Miracles can happen but this one probably isn't that likely.

Roughy is on 58, Franklin on 67.

I would be expecting the Friday night. I doubt the AFL would give us the extra (half?) day break for the Saturday.

 

[Thaihawk]

Any chance of Buddy's late (and highish) hit on Higgins being looked at? The commentators were quick to 'suggest' he should be fine.

The clothes maketh the man.

But, but Geelong play on Saturday night. Wouldn't that give us an advantage?

Depends on who our opponent is

If Geelong it'll be Friday, if port/freo it'll be Saturday

 

[badgrill]

Same. I would rather stick my head in a microwave.

But you couldn't turn it on without closing the door.

And you couldn't close the door with your head in it.

Bloody practicalities!

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Got all my tips right this round, what a great weekend of footy!

I missed one, tipped GWS against the Pies. Been a long time since I got 8/9 though

 

[IdiotBox]

God I would love to add a Coleman medallist or Brownlow medallist to the side in the off season.

We already have both! Roughead and (morally) Mitchell.

Break the window?

Sydney V Richmond at Stadium Dodgy. Bring on the rain and let them slog it out, Tiggers might just do it...

Only charge laid was to Jones from Melbourne for making contact with an umpire.
No surprise really..All incidents mentioned over the weekend looked at, but nothing came of them as was to be expected.

It reads as if Roughead was looked at for the tackle, not Selwood for the elbow to the throat! Interesting, but not surprising....

Edit - Nah, my mistake, didn't read it all the first time!! Carry on.

To be expected, not that the Selwood one was that bad. But consistency wise and the fact we have had players rubbed out of games for less, its b.s.

 

[Holy Rioli]

No mention of Bartel's diving antics naturally.

 

[Off The Couch]

The MRP got it right - we asked for consistency re selwood and we got it. They at least took a look at it and deemed it whatever because there was nothing in it - lake did similar on Hawkins.

Bartel deserved a warning similar to the one cornes got. The MRP must be thinking that the embarrassment through being highlited in the media is enough

I don't think the bolded is true at all. I think we got the correct punishment, but it is inconsistent with what Lake and Harvey got. If they'd have gotten a week or two each, then i'd be fine with Selwood getting nothing. Since they get 3 and 4 weeks, Selwood's should get a week or two, but we all knew they wouldn't rub him out.

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

That Buddy hit...he does that at Hawthorn and it's weeks.

Disgraceful

 

[Leather Poisoning]

We play before the Swans though. If we do anything cheeky like try to belt Collingwood to steal the minor premiership or kick exclusively to Roughy to get him 15 goals to beat Buddy for the Coleman then they'll know exactly what they need to do to peg it back.

That's right.

The only way roughy is going to win the 2014 Coleman is if Franklin breaks his leg in the warm up.

It can be arranged..
