Looking at the finals matches I believe our path to the GF will be Essendon, Richmond and Adelaide and should we make it it will be a Sydney vs GWS GF.

GWS... *shudder*

 

[The King!]

Wont ever get brisbane or carlton in the grannie, have to beat someone good

 

[Kennedy Parker]

Don't fear GWS at all to be honest.

 

[CD__]

125ish touches between the Crouch bros and Sloane and they get beaten comfortably? More than happy to play Adelaide in a final.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Jesus.

Would hate to be a dees fan.

Only have themselves to blame.

If you lose to North twice in a year you deserve to miss the finals!

Can't understand why the cats would start favorites against the Tigers. The tigers are the form team of the comp (behind us) and it's being played at the G.

The following post from the main board could explain why the Cats are favourites. Posted by a studious but nervous tiger fan


"The last time Richmond defeated Geelong was in 2006.

The last time Richmond defeated Geelong at the MCG was round 12 1999.

Only a few weeks ago, Geelong without their FF and Captain. Still won!

Geelong is the only side Damien Hardwick has never defeated as coach.

The last time Richmond won a Final on September 8th was in 1928.

Geelong hold the greatest ever winning margin against Richmond during this time, when they defeated Richmond 222-65. The worst loss in Richmond's history.

The Tigers have won 1 of the last 21 against Geelong.

Richmond last won a final in 2001, and lastly, in 1995 when Richmond finished third and got the double chance, had their pants pulled down against...Geelong.

The statistics are quite ugly, it's the Ultimate Powerhouse Vs. The Ultimate Underdogs.

As a Richmond supporter, the odds are so stacked against us, we're a knife in a gunfight. But I'll be there, just because ..."

Does Eddie keep his seat at the List Management table?

Straight out of 'Stupid Management practices 101'.

Yay!

Huzzah. Wonderful news.

 

[Olian]

Buckley coach teams give up some big leads. They have looked ok in the last 6 weeks but that's after their season was over.

Yay!

I don't know why they keep doing this to themselves but I'm happy it's happening to Collingwood of all teams

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

It is not like there are not better credentialed coaches around - Ratten, Sando, Bomber T or even The Hird. Clearly Roosy knocked back the mountain of cash.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Imagine if the Pies start 0-6 next year.

Eddie will lobby the AFL for them to play the Suns, Lions & Dockers twice in the first 6 rounds.

Expect prospective Pie recruits from other teams to be guaranteed $50k per appearance regular gigs on the Footy Show.

Weekly spots on SEN...(Treloar).

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

They have been using ridiculous payments from TFS for a long time to pad out contracts.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Time such media payments were included in the salary cap.

Can I say that this is your best post in the last.................................................day.

 

[Tuco]

All media payments should be tabled.

If the Pies' players (for example) get collectively 150k more in endorsements then that shouldn't be taken off them. However, all other clubs should get an additional $150k in cap space.

Kennedy & Mitchell had 80 in the GF.

It doesn't work. You need an even spread through the midfield & I feel we have addressed this issue.
