What would the fallout be if both quali winners lose again?

[Frank Gallagher]

Happened last year for the first time in modern AFL history (iirc), what will the fallout be if it happens again?

IMO if it does it means it becomes a fact that the way the system is now penalises the qualifying winners, i for one called it last season, i predicted the extra break would be the downfall of the highest ranked teams going into the prelim, if it happens again surely heads have to roll at AFL house.

It'll be a Geelong vs GWS grand final and AFL members will find it relatively easy to get a ticket?

If both win though it just cements the bulldogs' 2016 as a truly great feat, not that it wasn't, and makes all the nimrods here eat their words

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Hopefully the fallout would be no bye before finals

Instead it will be “good for footy”

Given that all four teams this weekend are strong prospects for the Grand Final, it wouldn't surprise and won't be too notable. Assuming the 2016-17 pre-finals gap week vanishes, it will be regarded as an asterisk statistic in already competitive seasons. Teams aren't about to start tanking QFs anytime soon.

Not about the Bulldogs.

Isn't it?

I imagine there would be absolutely 0 fall out. Unless you were a crows or tigers fan.

Kim Jong-Un might start launching missiles 'willy nilly' if he believes his beloved Tigers were robbed of a GF birth.

Don't be absurd, you'll do that anyway.

Would it be odd for Geelong and GWS to beat Adelaide and Richmond in the regular season? Not really. In fact, Geelong have been a problem team for Adelaide.

Last year, Geelong lost to their bogey team and GWS lost to a team that had more finals experience. It was only their first finals campaign as a club.

No bye before finals. Obviously.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

There will be a massive push to end the pre-finals bye.

It won't be the 'cause' of Geelong or GWS winning the flag - but if that's what it takes to rescind the pre-bye thing then I'm all for it.

Gil is king now

Will he be wearing his robe and wizard hat ?

It's what he wears everyday anyway so I guess, yep

Who do you reckon he would go for? Probably a team from a rogue state. Gold Coast?

Well, might as well close this thread

Bombers

Given he's the supreme leader of a brutal dictatorship where he rules over the uneducated masses with an iron fist, he's got more of Eddie and Collingwood vibe to him.

 

[SdKfz 181]

Yes, close thread.

Last year Geelongs fans excuse was they were to rested? This year to tired?
