Shot at a home prelim is easily better

I'd think so. Tougher opposition on the way but we just need to step up to the plate.

 

[Peter Doherty]

Pies are winning a lot of ball, bit to like about their ball movement too!

 

[Roo Lives Again]

Nope, winner of 5 v 8 so that would be West Coast v North.........

So West Coast then lol

 

[Sam_Malone]

Knows his stuff. Hope he stays on.

Agree. Really like Juddy commentating. He knows his stuff, he knows how hard interstate club have it and doesn't just talk the Victorian clubs up.

Gave the crows a huge complement on the triple M rub Friday night. Said we have the best recruiting team and are not using excuses for losing any picks or players to the expansion clubs.

 

[Roo Lives Again]

I can't believe Cloke is still in the league and gets talked about so much. He's not AFL standard and can't kick to save his life. You could pull random people off the street who could kick straighter

The home Semi would be against the WCE who dominated us tactically just a few days ago. I would actually tip Adelaide to beat GWS in Sydney (barring umpiring influence) but I would expect a loss against the WCE.

I'm of this view as well. I like us against GWS more than Eagles

 

[aneale]

Yes it bloody well does. Wtf? Home semi against a 5-8 side is much better than an away semi against a 1-4 side.

Against a team that loses the week before or a team who wins the week before. Swings and roundabouts in a comp this even. Not like we are s**t away.

You just know the AFL desperately want the 'dream' rivals of Hawthorn v Geelong at the G in the first week of finals so expect the umpires to really stamp their authority in the second half! #freekickhawthorn

 

[hey shorty]

Aish pinged a hammy so they'll be down a man for a half. Hawks playing 2 rucks with little to no idea so guess that makes it a draw.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Could you imagine the umpiring in a GWS final?

Interesting one

AFL's love child weighted against a commercial disaster. Don't know which way they'd go TBH

 

[WetCrow1991]

Win or lose today, Collingwood look nice. I love their midfield and the spread of leading targets from half forward.

 

[little graham]

Hawthorn had six more inside fifties. Trail by 2 goals. We've seen them in this position many times. but 3 things may point to them actually not pulling a rabbit out of the hat again.

They played in Perth last week
they have some old men in thier side
Collingwood have pride

 

[spenze]

Find it hard to believe that Hawthorn keep getting away with dropping the ball all the time outside the goal square

Yeah, nah.

We played like crap against the Eagles. Just because we did that once doesn't mean we'll do it again. We can beat the Eagles if we play better. They aren't to be feared.

Come on. It's Hawthorn. It's not really hard to believe.

I can believe it. They are massive throwers too.

I haven't looked at the stats but it feels like Pies are beating them at the clearances and centre bounces.

GWS would have reasonable support from neutrals in the later stages of the finals series. Most fans don't want another Sydney/Hawthorn/Geelong premiership. The AFL would definitely want to see GWS win any final they play in.

 

[aneale]

GWS first final series, their kids could seriously drop their bundle. If anyone is going to straight set exit it will be them.

Haqthorn could be 7th in a few more hours, Piggy will be devastated on after the game

A free crack at a home prelim is far better.

 

[hey shorty]

Well they've done the job so far, the Hawks big guns have thrown everything at them and Collingwood have stood firm.

I feel like if GWS won the flag it would make the AFL look stupid. It would be obvious they just handed GWS a flag to try and win the western Sydney market. Few people would celebrate their win. It'd be so hollow and ho hum in comparison to any other team winning it.
