Gamble Responsibly... My gosh I should drop a hungry gorilla on that $2.83 for Coasters to win ...Gamble Responsibly

 

[Vedder]

the $2.83 on eagles are ridiculous odds, if i was a betting man i would be taking those odds

 

[kranky al]

I certainly rate Howe very higly reads the play and did a number on Jack Darling in the GF (except for 1 quarter) I think Howe goes to Darling, Roughead to JK and Maynard to Allan. Should be a great contest

Doesnt maynard play on willie rioli

Especially in the dying minutes of a fourth quarter?

Haha gold, I wish Rioli was fit

 

[Tarkyn_24]

I'm leaning towards Pies just, I reckon they will jump them and this time hold on. Theres also the mentality of revenge after dealing with the loss all summer.

Yeah that held Richmond in good stead.

 

[Cuzz09]

Hope we win.
Feel that we could.
Odds are with the home team.

Can't concede the first 5 goals again.

But you campaigners know what happened next.

We didnt lose a GF. Our season was forgotten the day after.

 

[blue harvest]

Should be a good game, if it's not raining I might mosey on down and scan in on the AFL membership.

 

[kranky al]

Rioli out is the thing that really has me bothered.

Hes a huge part of our success against the better teams - and this year was primed to go next level

Talk of revenge in Rd 3 is silly.

Do you reckon Geelong got revenge on Hawthorn for pinching the 2008 GF because they beat them in Rd the next year? Of course not. I think they won 10 or 11 in a row until they lost the 2013 prelim by a kick. But none of that makes up for kicking 6.12 and 11.23.

The only GF revenge (that's Grand Final, don't go Googling) you see is when teams meet again in Grand Finals. See Haw/Syd 2012/14 WC/Syd 2005/6. Sorry Sydney, maybe you'll get a Bulldogs rematch.

Collingwood will want to beat us primarily to set their season up from 2-1 and not 1-2 and also to prove to themselves that they can. Two very tight finals last year and we got over the line in both, so they'll have a small monkey on the back. Which will probably be removed by Jordan De Goey.

 

[Corn69]

Pies gonna win this one easy cos De Goeys back in the Goal square

 

[Cuzz09]

Kennedy good for the run.

2nd up form good.

The Pies by 3 goals on their HG, looking fwd to seeing Gaff back out there,he's as loyal as they come, no injuries to either side.

Wish I possessed the confidence you Eagles fans have in our team for next Saturday.

 

[Stifler's mom]

I think Darcy Moore goes to Darling and Howe will take a less dangerous forward who he can zone off from.
Can then help where needed.

We lost to Brisbane 9 days ago.

Wish i possessed the confidence you have in our lads playing over the other side of the country at a venue we have an appalling record at.

 

[Hap Hapablap]

will tip the pies in this one. theyll be so hungry to redeem themselves over the loss last season.

however if wce pulls it off. man oh man

 

[nameless]

West Coast style and new stadium + training oval means we are a different team on the MCG.

We can, and should win it, don't worry about the odds or anything this is a very even game and should be a close one.
Interested in the tactical battle.
West Coast are more than the players on the page, play great team football and when their gameplan gets going they can beat anyone.

Not a game that defines a season, but certainly something to hang your hat on for whomever wins.

 

[caloschwaby]

We lost to Brisbane 9 days ago.

It's Round 1, does anything ever go right in round 1?

Wish i possessed the confidence you have in our lads playing over the other side of the country at a venue we have an appalling record at.

It feels strange to me trying to convince others that my team is worse

 

[bigfatcorn]

Collingwood are absolute dog sh\t so Eagles should crush them comprehensively this go around.

 

[Imnotdeadyet]

Was over there in September - great, great game.
Will be there Saturday night, if it rains we are stuffed. Not sure we wont be stuffed anyway, Pies on-ballers looked awesome (and plentiful) R2.
Have at it boys, let the game be as good as the last couple.

Grand Final rematch record since 2009 (1st rematch only, reigning premier in bold)

Hawthorn defeated by Geelong
Geelong defeated by St Kilda
Collingwood defeat St Kilda
Geelong defeated by Collingwood
Sydney defeated by Hawthorn
Hawthorn defeat Fremantle
Hawthorn defeated by Sydney
Hawthorn defeat West Coast
Bulldogs defeat Sydney
Richmond defeated by Adelaide

The reigning premier has only won 4 of the last 10 (initial) rematches. Interesting
