[masai]

Freo by a nose.

 

[hutchy31]

Well, this will be bruise free now that the dogs have no influence over their finishing position.

 

[kingswood71]

I hope that we show some spirit.
If Pav hasnt kicked a goal nearing the end of the final 1/4, a generous deliberate free kick somewhere close to goal with a deliberate 50 metre penalty would be much appreciated
Bulldogs should win this comfortably, but I would love us to do it for Pavlich.
Fremantle by 29 points

 

[Cobbler]

Bulldogs can't influence their position on the ladder. Will now be much closer. If they flinch in wanting to go in hard we could pinch it. Big odds, but essentially a reverse dead rubber for Dogs and surely we want to give it everything for Pav.

If we're in it at quarter time, emotion and willingness may get us over the line.

Pav to kick 3 and Freo in an upset by 20.

 

[Lach72]

May cry a bit

Maybe a lot

 

[PerthBoy86]

Kinda feel bad for Pav, really. As a West Coast supporter, I do really admire the bloke, I do like him as a player, as a captain and leader. Yes, he dropped off.etc, but at his peak...But, I mean, as important as a premiership is, it's not everything, and he should hold his head high, an incredible achievement.

 

[ep2018]

Well, this will be bruise free now that the dogs have no influence over their finishing position.

Aw come on, if Freo lose by 170 they get pick number 1 and you finish 6th.

 

[Bulldog1954]

Pavs my favourite non Bulldogs player, I hope he kicks 3 or 4 in a loss.

 

[MeestaNob]

Go Dogs, go Pav.

Doggies have nothing to gain from this game unless Collingwood pull off an increasingly unlikely upset, just hoping for no more injuries.

 

[BallaratBulldog]

Injuries can * off, should win.

 

[Dogsman16]

Go Dogs, go Pav.

Doggies have nothing to gain from this game unless Collingwood pull off an increasingly unlikely upset, just hoping for no more injuries.

We don't have anything to gain anyway.

If Collingwood win then we play Hawthorn irrespective of today's result.

Finals purely in Collingwoods hand.

Hopefully Pav kicks a bag. We keep Morris off him and put Roberts on him.

Dogs by 6 goals.

 

[who_let_the_dogs_out]

No injuries will be the winner.

Couldn't give a rats about the result. Good luck for the future Pav, congrats on the career.

 

[Xtreme]

Bulldogs to win by 60 AND will do what Hawthorn did to Fevola - crowd the backline so he can't score a goal in his final game.

 

[Ozil]

It's a long shot, but the Dogs aren't going to take it easy while there's still a slim chance of an MCG final.

 

[SCRAY72]

No injuries ,respect for Pav, some good practice playing at Subi, more experience for Williams, Dunkley etc.
Dockers just.

 

[DazalenkoUBewty]

Actually think freo will get up by about 20.

On ya Pav

 

[Randomizor]

Umpires suck

 

[Moist Biscuit]

 

[CakeEater]

Well done Pav.

 

[Chism]

Great stuff Pav.

That was sensational and what a great player he has been.

 

[im_a_lazy_sod]

What a seagull

 

[Dignan]

Pav you champion

 

[Marmozet]

PAV 700!!!!

 

[Randomizor]

Welling up...
