Game Day Around the Grounds - Week 1 Elimination & Qualifying Finals

[Aphrodite]

1st Elimination Final - Adelaide v Norf
2nd Elimination Final - WC v Bulldogs

1st Qualifying Final - Sydney v GWS (hoping for a GWS win)
2nd Qualifying Final - Geelong v Hawks (hoping for a Cats win)



I've bolded my tips for the 1st week.

 

[Jabba73]

Should be a cracking first week of the finals.

We can sit back and enjoy the spectacle and watch how far we need to go to reach finals level footy.

Hope there are 4 close games.

Tips for mine

WC; Adelaide; Geelong (going for the upset); Sydney (but wouldn't mind GWS getting the win)

Who I like to win:

Bulldogs (but won't happen)
Adelaide (my dark horse all season)
GWS (I like boy bands, just kidding)
WC
the rest can raffle it.

Anyone but West Coast.. Yes even Hawthorn

 

[Azul]

The Bloods have been whining about having to play games at ANZ.

GWS to cause an upset.

Exciting time this. The H&A season has ended, spring is upon us, the crescendo is building, but wait, we'll have a break in our program and have a week off?
FFS someone needs a kick in the clackers for that brainstorm.

Anyway, when we return.
Adelaide should be too strong for the Roos who have run out of puff,
Cats to do over the Hawks- hope it's a re-enactment of the 89 GF with a different result
The New kids on the block to outrun the Swans- weather conditions will govern this result
I wish, I wish the Dogs but Wet Toast is a big ask over there and they seem to have found form at the right time, maybe the bye weekend will upset them?

 

[HBF]

Geelong should be too strong for Hawthorn. Their form over the past month has been pretty shaky.

2 week wait until finals is HORSESHIT

Sure is.
A complete over-reaction to what North Melbourne and Fremantle have done previously.

Just remembered there's a game on tonight.

 

[HBF]

Eagles by plenty tonight. Have a feeling it might get ugly in the second half.

Would love to see Geelong get destroyed this week. I cant stand Chris Scott

 

[Jatz]

That's so s**t that it's at 6:10 over in the west.

Let them play Saturday if the time slot is that much of an issue. They win a home final and still have to work around the eastern states.

 

[Jeremias]

Looking forward to tonight but think West Coast will be too strong. Will be a great victory if the Dogs manage to get up.

Shame they aren't close to full strength.

But you hate NSW

No I don't! I used to live in NSW!
I just hate the city of Sydney.

I'm sorry, WHAT?! Why has that never come up before?!

Oh this changes everything

 

[HARKER]

There's a game on tonight. Right?

Not feeling anything for this game. Nothing at all. Unusual.

Same, cant see whoever wins coming to Victoria and knocking off either Hawthorn or Geelong next week at the MCG.
