Re: Week 1 Final vs ??

We'll get the G and so will the Pies. Hawks V Dogs will probably be the game at the Dome.

Friday night: Hawks v Dogs (MCG)
Saturday afternoon: Cats v Crows (MCG)
Saturday night: Swans v Roos (ANZ Stadium)
Sunday afternoon: Saints v Pies (MCG)

No?
 
Re: Week 1 Final vs ??

It will all depend on what happens with Sydney.

If Swans get a home final it will be Saturday arvo at the MCG

If four Victorian finals, i reckon it'll be Saturday arvo at TD

Um MCG...not TD....

Adelaide draw very good crowds in melbourne.

Will be at MCG and will draw 70,000+.

Not sure if it'll draw 70,000, but if its the Saturday Afternoon and the the Series Game, it should draw 60,000+

Please win so we don't have to play you in the Preliminary Final ;)

It looks like Geelong will play the Crows!!

There is only one way for us to lose the game:

Arrogance; failure to outhink the opposition and the failure to stick by the processes that have placed us in a great position to win back to back flags!!

And, there is a weak link:

Tom Harley.

He is the best captain since Fred Wooler, Sam Newman and Polly Farmer. However, as Andrew Jarman said on radio 2 months ago, his finishing and decision making skills when under enormous intense pressure are average.

He is a great leader of people. But, as a footballer, he has to prove his worth in the heat of the battle.

If 3 finals are played in Melbourne, all 3 will be played at the MCG (unless we have a North-Sydney final which will draw sub 30,000)

If 4 finals are played in Melbourne it means both North and St Kilda host finals, the non Collingwood final will be at the TD.

Geelong's scheduled for Saturday Afternoon at the MCG, regardless of opponents, supposedly it gives you the best preparation for the Preliminary and Grand Finals

I won a prize on SEN on the Casual Friday show on the "TOOL TIME" segment for nominating Andrew Jarman for what he said about Tom Harley, so this week I will be nominating "you" for the same thing. I'm not sure if you actually watch Tom Harley play the game, but I suggest you go back over the replays and actually take note of how he plays the game, and the courage he has in taking those marks and the things he does on our back line.
Of course this is only my opinion, and you are definately entitled to yours, even though I don't agree with you.:cool:

One game has to be played at the Dome I believe.

Based on?

I'm pretty sure one game has to be played at the Dome. You'd imagine they wouldn't have first place playing there, and the Pies sure as shit won't play a final there. That only leaves one game.

Edit: This is all presuming the Swans of course.

Re: 1st Semifinal against Adelaide (the type of game we usually lose)

Qualifying final not Semi final.

And its not certain is it?...can't St Kilda still take 4th if they win tomorrow?

Depending on the points for and against, St Kilda will have to win by about 95ish I think, if I read correctly. Thats quite a bit ask. Essendon havent been in absolutely horrible form and st Kilda havent been in tremendous teams-smashing form. But, who knows. Who knows.

Yeah, don't think so. Think the Dome only gets a game if the MCG can't host it (i.e. if there are four games in Melbourne, two on Saturday, one in the arvo, one in the evening).

i think they have to win by something like 85-90+ to take 4th spot so we will play crows. saints aren't that good

Port wasn't good enough to beat North by 72 today either and certainly freo wasn't good enough to beat the [supposedly] resurgent pies by 24 yesterday either.

Anything can happen ...

Wendy,

Well, Andrew Jarman has a point, even though he acts like an idiot!!

We have a weakness down at the backline and opposition sides will exploit it to the tilt. Without Matthew Egan in the side, we are an actual tall man short.

People forget that Matthew Egan makes Tom Harley walk an extra 5 inches tall!!

IF we do play Hawthorn in the GF or Preliminary Final, the following forward and backline matchups will occur:

Scarlett on Buddy
Milburn on Roughhead
Hunt on Mark Williams

Is Tom Harley or Harry Taylor capable of picking up a damaging key position forward?

This question has to be answered in the heat of the battle.

And, if you recall last year's prelim final against Collingwood, Tom Harley's finishing skills off the right and left foot were not 100% accurate.

Andrew Jarman has a point. He played AFL football and his younger brother Darren hit his targets with precision on all occasions!!

And, Brent Prisnall does remind me of a young Darren Jarman.

THE GOVERNOR

GEELONG FOR BACK TO BACK FLAGS!!

There is only one way for us to lose this chance: Arrogance; the inability to outhink the opposition when they throw a "curveball" and the failure to adhere to team processes and rules that have been successful for the past 18 months.

Why not put Harry on Roughead? Kept him goalless in Round 17, and there's no reason to suggest he can't do it again.
