Actually looking forward to this finals series, the first time I have done so in a while.

I hope Brisbane can go all the way this year and I think they could beat Richmond at the GABBA in two weeks time.

My picks:
Geelong

West Coast
Western Bulldogs

A finals series with lots of close games would be great. We've had a couple of years with mediocre matches, aside from a couple of amazing ones. Was at the G yesterday and while Richmond were good, I reckon the Lions will take a fair bit away from it. Could go either way at the Gabba. I'll back the Lions in a close one.

Eagles
Geelong
Lions
Dogs

I am in agreement with Georges selections, same as mine. Going on this years performance should mean one or two only winners.

cmon brissie!!!

I'm going Friday night. Looks like there will be massive crowd.

Would love a Brisbane vs GWS grand final.

Hope west coast crush them tonight

 

[HillToKing]

I don't know where it's coming from but I have this very strange feeling that the dopers are going to win tonight.

 

[Human Person]

I don't mind the West Coast game plan. Kicking and marking are most important parts of the game so they base it on that. Not off the ball pressure or turnovers, just the basic rules of the game.

 

[Human Person]

If Essendon can get to finals, then why can't we? And how many more "A graders" do they have? They're just getting torn up.

I reckon their list is a long way ahead of ours.

 

[gringo2011]

Shiel is a worse kick than Seb by a fair margin. He's quick but he's a bit of a liability at times.

 

[Mowman]

I reckon their list is a long way ahead of ours.

Will give you Carlton and their A graders but cant give you Bombers a long way ahead of us

He was a different player when he was playing with all the GWS stars.

I reckon they are badly coached but they have A graders on every line. They have mental issues from the cheating saga and a coach that has an outdated game plan. Carlton are a long way behind them too. They are blowing the prime of their best players. Caracella should take over next year after they bow out tonight.

 

[nitewalker13]

It's all over for Bombers within 45 minutes.

 

[gringo2011]

He was a different player when he was playing with all the GWS stars.

His disposal has always been iffy but he could dish off to their runners like Scully, Kelly and Whitfield. Can win his own ball at top pace but he sprays like a tom cat.

 

[PoppedCorn]

Looking like a pantsing coming up

 

[BrutThough]

West Coast haven't got all the St Kilda out of Hickey yet

 

[Human Person]

I reckon their list is a long way ahead of ours.

It definitely is, but they're so unconvincing. Is it just bad coaching or what?
