Prediction Preliminary Finals predictions.

[Aristotle Pickett the3rd]

Both Geelong and Sydney are strong favourites.

 

[11kgm]

For every non Collingwood supporter Sydney take my energy

Brisbane or Geelong couldn't care less

 

[Xtreme]

Brisbane and Collingwood to play off in the 2022 grand final

The trilogy continues (20 years after it started in 2002)

 

[Allezjuel]

Brisbane have prevailed in two very tight close finals games in a row, it wouldn't suprise if they come out a bit flat after the emotional energy they've consumed. Geelong by a fair bit.

Collingwoods game style won't be as effective at the narrow SCG as it is in the open pastures of the MCG, as evidenced by the round 22 game. Swans to win but it will be a bit closer, Swans by 2 goals.

 

[Danw0w]

Brisbane are a real danger game for the cats. A lot of players would have learnt from 2020 and Geelong looked shaky at times under finals pressure in week one. Geelong should win if both teams play their best.

I can’t see anyone beating Sydney at the SCG. It would be exciting to see Collingwood win but I believe Sydney will be just too good at home. Still I thought the same about the dees last night so…….

I'm not disagreeing with your post but to play devils advocate, we just broke our last remaining hoodoos (Melbourne + MCG). We've been underdogs in all our finals so far and that won't change next Friday.

It's house money in my eyes, we have nothing to lose. All the pressure is on the Cats and if they start a bit wobbly, we might just out run them to a Granny.

Cats by 20 would be my non-biased tip though.

 

[Chronz]

Tiges by 20 points.

 

[JackFlash]

These two games could be a couple of blowouts:
Cats by 47pts
Swans by 42pts

 

[Macca180]

I see the Cats winning easy.

I reakon the Pies are a huge chance against Sydney.

 

[PieLebo87]

Not here to share predictions, just to share that these 4 remaining sides have taken 36 Prelim spots out of 80 in the last 20 years.

In the last 20 years, there has been 8 premiers and 10 runner ups.

At least one of them has appeared in 15 of the last 20 Grand Finals.

Absolutely ridiculous data and amazing sustained success, particularly Geelong, Sydney and Collingwood who are the top 3 sides in the competition in terms of Prelim appearances in the last 20 years.

 

[Tristan34]

I think pies are a huge chance against the swans... The swans have been pumped up massively on here, because they beat the dees at the MCG...

Yeah that’s the only reason…

I think Geelong and the Sydney Swans will win. Although a Geelong vs Collingwood GF would be great as well.

 

[Macca180]

I thought the Dees would get us.. and I was wrong. Now I think the Cats will get us.

Need the same result.

Needs cats to be off.

Geelong 14 preliminary finals: 2004, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2013, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022
Collingwood 2002, 2003, 2007*, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2018, 2019, 2022
Sydney: 2003, 2005, 2006, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2016, 2022
Brisbane: 1999, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2020, 2022*
Port: 2002, 2003, 2004, 2007, 2014*, 2020, 2021
Hawthorn: 2001*, 2008, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015
West Coast: 2005, 2006, 2011, 2015, 2018
Adelaide: 2002, 2005, 2006, 2012, 2017
Western Bulldogs: 2008, 2009, 2010, 2016*, 2021*

* Finished outside the top 4

Since 2004 Geelong have only ever had one season with a losing record (2006 = 10 wins, 11 losses and 1 draw vs Melbourne). Every other season they have finished with a winning record.

Since 1999 all teams apart from Gold Coast have made the Grand Final at least once.

 

[The hands of stone]

Cats by 40
Swans by 8

Brisbane vs Sydney and its not close

 

[Occidental]

When you lose, you learn.
Plus no DeGoey & Ginnivan was subbed out at half time last time we played up there.
Pies by 12.
Cats by 20.

 

[MC Extra Dollop]

I think there will be an upset in one of the games and I think Swans v Pies will be an absolute classic.

 

[Arr0w]

19 of the last 20 flag winners have come from sides finishing top 3 at the end of the home and away season

Stick with the odds, flag will be won by Cats or Swans

 

[Vdubs]

What I hope- Cats and Pies.


What I think-
Reverse of 2020.
Lions- C. Cameron, Hipwood and Daniher to run riot.
Charlie to get NS the week after. He was made for these games

Gallant Pies again.

Will be a GF with both teams having the momentum of games played, plus the fitness and speed to handle it.

Brisbane vs Sydney and its not close

Would this spark a crisis meeting at Spring Street or would the game be quickly billed as Fitzroy vs South Melbourne and great for the fans of these FOUNDATION VFL clubs?

Geelong by 40

With Adams out and Payne not exactly an A grader I think Lions will struggle to match up on the Cats tall forwards. Play like the 2nd half Friday night though and no reason why we can't run it pretty close.

I have no doubt that the majority of the build up will be exploring the origins of both clubs.

I also have no doubt that a temporary rebrand of the clubs to North North Melbourne and Far North Melbourne would have also been floated.
