Who do you think will or want to win the 2017 flag?

[BigVic]

GWS for me. They're the team to beat as what I said at the sart of the season

 

[DrEvil_]

GF should really be between GWS and GWS 2nds.

 

[Quinz]

GWS comfortably for me at this stage, but they're untested at the real pointy end so there's an unknown factor there.

What an awesome season we're having though.

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

What is that whooshing noise?

I already said I have no idea. If you have something to say, say it, otherwise kindly bugger off, because I'm a busy man, OK?

 

[JPetro83]

The two prelims will be:
GWS v Port
Geelong v Melb

GF winner: Geelong.

Port and the Dees are top 4 certainties. Dees are a good side and port has too much of a soft draw to miss now.

 

[JPetro83]

Still have Geelong winning, but anyone could win it. Adelaide looking unlikely to make the Prelim.

We won't even make the 8! We still need 4 wins to make the 8... I cant see us winning more than 2 more games

 

[Rack Watts]

I've taken a while to vote, Melbourne will win.

 

[HaroLad]

Geelong will fall over same as Adelaide.. gws the team to beat

Nope.

We showed that we have the grit to win a flag today.

I don't think Carlton are going to make the finals

 

[Theseventhhamster]

GF should really be between GWS and GWS 2nds.

Not sure Carlton are quite that good yet.

 

[SterlingArcher]

GWS v Sydney is my tip from here

 

[Connoisseur]

It's anybody's flag this season. Even Sydney and Hawthorn can finish in 8th spot and win it from there a la the Bulldogs last year.

 

[Dez!]

Nope.

We showed that we have the grit to win a flag today.

That's a bit of a reach using today's game as an example.

 

[Great8]

Agree

Agree
Can't see the Cats winning a final let alone the GF.
Like most they are a pretty ordinary side

 

[HaroLad]

Like most they are a pretty ordinary side

Sure thing buddy, guess that win against Adelaide meant nothing.

We'll show you next week why we'll be laughing in September.

 

[Mr.X]

Anyone think Tigers are a chance?

 

[SterlingArcher]

Anyone think Tigers are a chance?

Win one of their Port/GWS/Geelong games in the 2nd part of the year and that's 15 wins and guaranteed top 4. Win none of them but win the ones they should (some tough ones like Freo away and St Kilda though) and that's 14, probably enough for top 4.

I'm thinking you're probably joking but if you can finish in the top 4 this year (and avoid GWS in a prelim at home) then anything can happen.

edit: I'd give them equal billing with Adelaide. Adelaide are just as prone to shit games, just because they look a million dollars v non-top 8 sides doesn't make them more of a contender

 

[Great8]

Giants by 10 goals next week. You guys aren't that good and I'll stand by that. Will be a all Sydney GF IMO

 

[NewMelbournian]

Imagine a Tigers v Dees GF. No less crazy than saying Dogs would end up premiers this time last year

 

[Andy_Mac]

Cats are massively overrated.

They're one serious injury to Danger and/or Selwood away from irrelevance.

 

[HaroLad]

Not really, both sides are average.

 

[bjwilliams]

are kuntts pre jizzing over Melbourne?

gws
geelong

crows port

dark horse = melbourne, sydney

How are Port alongside the Crows? Who have they beaten that are actually good this year?

I'll chuck an edit up with the answer ...

Sydney (round 1 when they started 0-6)
Fremantle
Carlton
Brisbane
Suns
Hawthorn
Brisbane
Collingwood

So no one currently in the 8 ...

 

[Dez!]

Not really, both sides are average.

And Geelong is................?

 

[HaroLad]

And Geelong is................?

Far better than both.

 

[Dez!]

Far better than both.

Based on what exactly?
