    Preview 1st Preliminary Final-Adelaide vs Geelong, Adelaide Oval Friday 22nd Sept 7.50pm

    Any idea who's likely to pick up betts? I'm worried by his sheer speed at ground level in combination with a ball coming to ground from a spoil... Who ever it is they must recognise that he less likely to handball and more likely to try to evade .... please (footy gods) don't let us fall for that.

    One possible benefit from resting Joel is that the midfield will know that someone is going to be dropped for the next final, so the second tier are all playing so it won't be them. I would prefer Joel.....but we just need a few players to keep stepping up.

    Should be a cracking game. I do expect Riewoldt to play a big game, will be difficult to block all the spaces he leads into. Pretty sure we'll employ the 'grab dustys arm during the fend off' again - you simply don't have to tackle him just grab the outstretched arm... Fingers crossed we can...

    Could be a lot worse..... *IF* (The drawn GWS game) Tom had kicked the ball out on the full after the siren, we'd be 4th and going to Adelaide......on the other hand, if he'd kicked the goal we'd be 1st playing gws at KP. My (very weak) point is that it's a pretty even competition, and in...

    I suspect Dimma won't fall for the Taylor treatment again....ffs, he should have reacted during the game so I hardly think he's that daft to allow it to occur. I think they will place a mobile (larger) player to disrupt Taylor, play Rance across half back, running forward if he see...

    Wondering who everyone thinks our weakest links are? I was reflecting on this as I watched the gws game and my normal whipping boy (Murdock) played pretty well. Buzza was marking ok, but his finishing was pretty ordinary. No doubt we can't afford for mots to go missing - I actually feel he's...

    Fingers crossed the tigers fans (&KB) get all cocky again. Simple, if they manage to keep a lid on things then we'll have our work cut out for us. I think out most important decision will be if Joel plays or not. If he's fully fit and firing then we will be in most games, if he shows up and...

    Will Henderson get suspended?

    Oh definitely, and given his history (of playing for geelong), probably could argue 1 week up to 3. Oh... just one detail? What did he do?

    Opinion Would you rather play GWS at Simonds or Richmond at the G?

    We just need the streak to continue to next year......then we might line up with an Ablett and the tigers line up without dusty.

    Preview Round 23 Geelong vs GWS

    I think the AFL should reward Adelaide for finishing top with an additional (bonus) opportunity to play the first final at the MCG. I'm pretty jealous, but, they finished top so they get the reward.

    Why wait till next year? Let's play the tigers in a final at KP!!!

    Review Geelong defeats Richmond by 14 points

    Bit disappointed in Dimmas comments that the crowd influenced the umpiring.... they should have got more tigers supporters down there. You reap what you sow.

    Preview Geelong vs Richmond, Saturday 12th August, 2:10pm @ Simonds Stadium

    Question about the "don't ask" fend off. If you're about to tackle some who pretty much always fends off by sticking an arm out behind him, why doesn't the tackler just grab the outstretched arm with both hands and drag him down?

    Y Caddy was great receiving the handball in the goal square for the soft as goals. Just so long as we have a body on him, he'll be useless.

    My greater extended family (wife's side) are all Tigers. I've had 2 decades of total joy watching them implode. I'm not done yet. I'd love to wheel this out on Saturday night (thanks to Paul Keating)... "This is the sweetest victory of all. This is a victory for the true believers; the...
