Analysis The 2019 finals series

[Snake_Baker]

How is it all going to play out? What effect will the Brisbane Bears debacle have upon the integrity of the series? Who will play off?

I reckon the scum could get rolled out by the doggies. The bears & cats are impostors making up the numbers and the pies & giants are spluttering.

It's looking like a WCE v Richmond grand final if they don't run in to each other along the way, and Port are shaping as the dark horse.

 

[Hojuman]

I got Weagles v Tuggers too.

Simmo, Pratty got my vote.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Port are my smokey.

They can take out the cats & bears.

 

[Only Forwards]

Richmond.

Play all their games at the G.

However for us 3 years and no finals is too long

 

[Themanbun]

Depends which Port turns up as to whether the WCE vs Rich balance is disrupted.

 

[The acurate one]

Port are my smokey.

They can take out the cats & bears.

On their day the best side in the comp.

Worth a wager if reasonable odds.

Ruling the Cats out is an exercise of heart over head. They have a very strong team right now.

What is their record away from Meth Park this year?

What is their record away from Meth Park this year?

4 of their 5 losses have been away from there.

I agree that Richmond should have their measure, Snake. The winner of that game, if it transpires, will win the flag, I reckon.

Reckon Weagles will go back to back. Thank god I live in Melbourne.
They have only just stopped posting reviews of the 2018 GF in their local paper.
Greatest team to ever play in the VFL/ AFL....just ask their fans.

 

[Marstermind]

It all depends on who gets home finals. Brisbane are wildcards. Because they haven't played finals for so long we kind of discount them. But if they can finish 2nd, get a home final and then possibly a home Preliminary, then they are playing well enough to make it. They play Geelong and Richmond from here - one at home, one away. If they can win 1 and compete in the other at a minimum, I reckon they can go deep.

I hope they do, because choosing between every other team currently in the Top 8 is like choosing between which method you'd like to be disembowelled.

Richmond def Geelong

Filth def Scum
GWS def Bulldogs

week 2

Bris/WCE loser v GWS
Collingwood def Geelong

Geelong out in straight sets.

 

[Egga]

Smelling a lot like wet toast to me. Brions, Cats, Tuggers and Bullfrogs also a chance.

Others just making up the numbers.

The highlight will be watching Scum supporters lose their sh!t as the umpires underwrite a GWS victory and another year without a finals win to *.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Well done umpires, you have finally rooted the finals series.

Ladder after this round:

The elephant in the room

 

[Reagan Smash]

I still don’t understand why there needs to be a week off before the finals.

 

[tazaa]

Last years finals was way more hyped up for mine. Too much of the same this year.
The top 4 are frauds with Richmond favourite based on MCG factor only.

West Coast frauds themselves via not getting it done the past fortnight.

If Westerns do a 2016 again after losing to all of Gold Coast, Carlton, Fremantle and St Kilda it’s just peak averageness
