[Always Ballin]

#ChessCoast will win. That's all I know.

 

[TheKanga]

Sydney by 13pts (61k)
GWS by 22pts (18k)

 

[mattpolo8]

Sydney by 24 - 68k
West Coast by 5 - 16k

 

[Ratkins]

Swans by 21 (76,800)
GWS by 35 (23,000)

 

[Jimmybob]

Sydney by 17 | 66,800
GWS by 4 | 17,800

 

[chipins]

Sydney by 30 points - 72,000
GWS by 9 points - 22,000

 

[WCErevival]

Surely it will be pushing capacity at Spotless

 

[PCORF]

Swans by 13pts, 62,500
Giants by 12pts, 20,000

 

[justlookingaround]

Geelong def by Sydney 37 points 55k
GWS def WCE 20 points 17k

 

[justlookingaround]

Actually I'm probably underestimating the Spotless crowd. It was 15.7k last month, which was a non-derby record. if another 7k travel from Perth might be around 22-23k.

Surely it will be pushing capacity at Spotless

I think so. We simply dont know as there's very little data to predict from. Capacity is what I'd exoect.

 

[BlueandGoldforever]

Sydney by 19 points (75,000)
West Coast by 5 points (20,000)

 

[ep2018]

Geelong by 10
GWS by 32

 

[kozi]

Sydney by 80 points - 65k
GWS by 20 points - 18k

 

[Occidental]

Sydney by 31 points - 64,000.
West Coast by 9 points- 16. (If that one extra car makes it across the Nullarbor then the crowd will be 21)

 

[gaelictiogar]

Sydney should win really and Geelong's fans might not turn up in huge numbers. 60,000.

GWS by about 25. No idea what he crowd will be.

 

[HTT]

Since Geelong supporters were so annoyed by us dominating the crowd in the QF, I expect 90k strongly pro-Geelong to turn up on Friday.

 

[_Mike_]

Geelong v Sydney : by 12 points, crowd : 77,460
GWS v West Coast Eagles : by 18 points, crowd : 24,000

 

[gaelictiogar]

Geelong v Sydney : by 12 points, crowd : 77,460
GWS v West Coast Eagles : by 18 points, crowd : 24,000

Mike I'll be stunned - happily stunned - if the Cats draw 77K.

Given their match is against Sydney in a knockout semi - I think around the 77-80K mark is about there. If it was a prelim Id probably expect to see 10K more thereabouts

 

[gavaniacono]

Cant see cats winning away from home. Straight sets looming. Can they recover from the physical and mental perturbations of the weekend?

Giants need to be simpler and smarter. They clearly tried to beat crows with height. They need to focus on speed, run eagles off their feet, attack attack when in possession and go hard the rest of the time. The 2 big outs will be a blessing.

Swans - 87 points.
Giants - 26 points.

 

[Runnin Blue]

Sydney by 57 points
GWS by 35 points

We actually won the contested posession against the Crows and laid 110 tackles it's not effort or height that's the problem. It's not even getting hands on the ball, it's our ball movement that didn't work against the Crows, and puts us below the Tigers as well in my view.

They got 71,772 against the Swans in the Preliminary Final last year, so I don't see that crowd number being surpassed on Friday night.
