Still a long way out, but preliminary (10 day) forecast awesome. Sunny and 22 degrees for Thursday 4th Sept. https://www.weatherzone.com.au/sa/adelaide/adelaide

The weather channel saying afternoon showers 40%

I might even get a butter chicken at those prices

 

[GreyCrow]

I get the feeling those are ''holding '' prices ie prices put in just to hold the screen until further changes tomorrow

I would be gobsmacked if they are the true prices

This finals series, regardless of how long it is, or who we play, needs to be the stretch of games where TT stamps his authority on the AFL.

Im not against isolation him as the 1 out deep forward all night and watching to see how teams handle it.

I just feel like we are still under
utilising him most games in terms of targets. But what a perfect time it would be to go hard to that well and force teams to stop him 20-30 times a game.

10 day forecast now saying 21 degrees and the chance of a late shower. I access the 10 day forecast from weatherzone. They use the official bom forecasts, I believe, and update at least twice a day. As we are still some way out, the forecasts will continue to need tweaking. From a bit over a day from now we will be able to access the 7 day forecasts, and they generally have a higher level of accuracy, although they will still continue to be tweaked. What can be said are that the early indicators seem fairly positive for weather conducive to good football and conformable live viewing.

First week of finals for cat one back in 2017 was about $65 from memory. Prelim about $170.

I'll be really disappointed if a couple of Crows fans don't get banned from the AFL for abuse towards Collingwood

But then it's crucial the following final we are respectful to the opposition to make it even more obvious

If a fan makes a homophobic remark at the ground, they would receive a lengthy, lengthy ban.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Suspect there will be a few free seats on game day

You know there will be more than 1

Obviously from first, we should be hoping to go all the way.

However, with my realist hat on, winning a flag after 7 years out of finals would be completely unprecedented, we’re missing one of our top 3 players, and our form seems to have dipped a little.

On top of that, I think Brisbane are shaping up as one of the best sides of the era and are probably now at their peak, and Geelong are rested, been there 100 times before and look primed for another tilt. Those two are going to take some beating.

So with that in mind. What would you be content with heading in to this finals series?

For me, if we are competitive in every game, and manage to win at least one final, I’ll be disappointed, but I think satisfied that the group was tested, proved they can do it, and are ready to attack 2026 with a bit more experience.

There are two paths for mine.
Get over Collingwood, beat Geelong at home in the prelim and then face the ultimate test vs the Lions at the 'G'.
or lose to Collingwood, beat ? at home and Lose to Brisbane/Geelong away. Column A please...

I like this path. Vic teams lose every match they play. Then non vic prelims

Not sure if this is good or bad for Machete sales?

 

[MrBarry]

Based on the fact I don't think games can logically can continue being this close all the time and our best football is imo better than theirs. I think we may end up running over the top of them by 5.or 6 goals this time and we go more attacking.

What is the $20 for no view? Do you just have to stand in the bathroom?

When are prices ever what they state? Usually it says tickets from $26 and you click on it and its $63

The Jr price is what they will display but the adult tickets I trust will be as displayed in that graphic.

 

[FR0GGY]

Keays on J Daicos

Reckon id rather ANB, keays is more attacking. Although maybe that'll make him more accountable.

 

[GreyCrow]

Reckon id rather ANB, keays is more attacking. Although maybe that'll make him more accountable.

Yeah I think its possible both options are explored

ANB for accountability leaving Keays free to roam or having Keays stop then run - I just think Keays is more dangerous in that role because he can really damage a side

Though I suspect it could be a game of cat and mouse with various players going to one leaving others open

 

[MrBarry]

They had a lot of jammy goals in that first game l, blind soccers out of packs that fell in the lap of Collingwood players inside 50, that ball that bounced up over our defenders and landed to Elliot and players kicking goals from outside 50 who couldn't usually.

What is the $20 for no view? Do you just have to stand in the bathroom?

Parents room.

Has it on the tv with heating. Plus free milk.

It’s elite, totally worth the 20

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Confession: I've never known who plays who in subsequent finals rounds or how to work it out

If we lose next Thursday then we play the winner of...?

And if we sail through to the prelim then the teams on our side of the draw who we might face are the loser of Geelong/Brisbane plus the winner of...?

I just figure some team will turn up.
