If the game is officiated objectively - Crows by 28.

If Richmond get their umps, I expect a different result. Time will tell


Playboi Carti out now on all streaming services!
Richmond have the worst free kicks for differential in the afl. Giants won the free kick count today. People mention the dubious calls in the 3rd quarter but have forgotten about umpiring going against us in the 1st half.

I suspect there'll be a few Tigers supporters there. Umps wont matter.
I've been to AO and the G in recent weeks and dont doubt the best two teams have made the GF.
Crows are truly awesome though and I tip them to win by 5 goals.

Tigers by 40. 100k. The only game all year where the mcc is full. The afl need to finally take away the top bay on the city side and make it general admission all year round

My predictions.
Beauitful arvo in Melbourne, high scoring. Crows by 2 goals. Crowd 100 837.
Norm Smith Eddie Betts with 5 goals.
Tex to lift the cup in honour of Phil.
Tigers will wear their home jersey after too much pressure.
There will be a newsreport on not enough planes from Adelaide to Melb and people will have to drive.

Premiers: Richmond
Winning margin: 7 points
Norm Smith medal: Toby Nankervis
First goal kicker: Shaun Grigg
Crowd attendance: 100,025
The Tank played a brilliant game last night but I doubt he flogs Jacobs that much to win the Norm. Jacobs hasn't been badly beaten all year, count on one hand the number of games he has had his colours lowered.

If Nankervis wins the NS it'll be one of the best GF performances of all time I reckon. Should be a good battle between the 2 though.

The umpires evened it up once it was over.
AFL & Their merry men who control momentum & results in this sporting competition do love a good fairytale you know. Try as they might though there will be no fairytale next week. Crows have one thing that has stood out all year in a very inconsistent season over the majority of the competition and that is class. Blow them away early and be resilient and tough when the inevitable Tsunami comes and you might be a chance. Its their year and they desrve it.

I hope Adelaide win but ..... umm, minor premiers don't always win premierships.
Only 6 times since 1996 the minor premier has won it all and 10 times have finished runner up. 2nd and 3rd has had the most success, with 4th, 5th and 7th winning it once. 6th made the Grand Final once, 8th made the preliminary final once.

Minor premiers from 1996 to 2016 - 2,2,2,3,P*,2,3,3,P,3,P,P,2,2*,P,2*,2,P,2,3,2,
* Won at least 20 games in H&A Season

Giving that the last 3 minor premiers have failed to win it, that places Adelaide into a good position to win it this year. But in sport you cannot guarantee anything.

North Melbourne has never won the premiership after finishing top, same with St Kilda, Fremantle and Adelaide (although that could change this weekend). North has won 4 premierships from 2nd and 3rd.
Western Bulldogs, Brisbane Lions, GWS Giants and Gold Coast Suns have never won the minor premiership.

The underdog has won the Grand Final in 97,98,01,04,08,09,11,12,14,16

Anybody's game this weekend.

I'm going to make a prediction. I'll probably be incorrect but I think we'll get a close Grand Final this year.

Adelaide 17.13.115 def Richmond 15.17.107
Crowd: 100,097

Q - AD - RICH
1 - 1.4 (10) - 5.4 (34)
2 - 5.7 (37) - 10.9 (69)
3 - 11.10 (76) - 13.12 (90)
4 - 17.13 (115) - 15.17 (107)
