Preferably in the rain.

Expecting something similar to the 2012/2014 prelims between Hawthorn and the two Adelaide teams. It'll go down to the wire but the home ground advantage will shine through in the end.

GWS will be hungry.
After losing last years prelim.

It will be a fight not simply Tigers turn up and win.

For someone who doesn't care about this finals series you sure do post in threads related to them a lot...

The games themselves have been pretty boring spectacles.
Hopefully the prelims are good.

If Richmond bring the effort and intensity of last week it could be another blow out given GWS haven't exactly set the world on fire playing in Melbourne. Certainly they played some nice footy tonight but the Eagles were pretty lacklustre and we saw what happened when they weren't given time and space to get their running game going against Adelaide.
I'll say Richmond pretty easily.

 

[Capt Hindsight]

Please just be an entertaining match.
This finals series (not including Port Adelaide vs West Coast) has been incredibly boring with all the one sided matches.

 

[TiggerMan22]

Prediction - 80k Richmond supporters. 2k GWS. Most on sided crowd of all time.

 

[TheKanga]

How many Adelaide fans in a GF against Richmond?

 

[Squibbs]

Pretty nice to be relevant again

 

[Randomizor]

Knock out final so likely Richmond loss

 

[Substance]

GWS won't want another prelim failure. They'll be hungrier this time.

They're more skilled, and faster around stoppages, but the Tigers will be ready to pressure them like hell. They aren't the Richmond we know anymore.

Should be a cracking match. We're owed a few.

 

[Power Raid]

What a contest! And between two clubs I like.

I'm thinking the tigers. Though the rest may do them no favours.

 

[sprockets]

GWS will be hungry this time? What about 35 years of Tiger failure? I'll be very disappointed if they don't come out with all guns blazing like they did against the Cats. Should be the hungriest team of the four left.

 

[roojor]

Pressure wins finals and Richmond have the right game plan but gws have their mojo back .

 

[gaelictiogar]

This is a fantastic year for footy fans.

Fact is nobody has a clue how the game will go and that makes it interesting.

Nervous already and still a week away. I hope we can replicate the pressure and heat we brought to the qualifying final, do that and we'll win. However those thinking we just turn up and the Giants will roll over and let us waltz into a grand final are mistaken. They are the most talented side in the comp so it will take our best to get over them, hopefully we bring it in front of 90,000. We will make the atmosphere the most intimidating as possible for them.

I think Richmond can win this if they bring their extreme pressure. The youngsters of our team will be well rested, so I am hoping for a 4 quarter performance.

 

[Xtreme]

Tigers by 3 points

 

[Johnny_Dogg4]

90-95k
hopefully giants win and you can hear a pin drop

Don't get grumpy, answer him properly

 

[demondavey]

I'm looking forward to a couple of well known GWS posters reaction after the match when they lose.

Whinged incessantly about the crowd at last years PF because WB fans outnumbered them at THEIR HOME FINAL, so they countered by suggesting we were feral. How they gonna feel with 90k rabid Tigers sitting around them ? Last year will seem like a church gathering. These theatre going GWS supporters will wonder WTF is happening when the MCG shakes as that glorious "Yellow and Black" part of the song is bellowed out by the crowd. Go Tigers !!

Oh FFS STOP WHINGEING!!!! Less than 10 posts in and you're already starting? GWS are part of the AFL, deal with it and move on. F*** me, don't turn this into an incessant whining thread.....

 

[demondavey]

Tigers just, but it'll be tight all the way.
