Qualifying Finals

[Rod Stroker]

Looking like
crows versus giants
and
cats versus tigers.

Who wins?

 

[Power Raid]

crows and cats but geez, what a great couple of games

 

[Hamingja]

Which game for Friday Night? Should be crows as they finished top but I reckon 7 will want Cats/Tigers.

 

[demondavey]

Adelaide will ruin GWS
Tigers will beat Geelong

[Squibbs]

If gws lose to the crows do they play the swans? That be huge.

No they'll play the winner of Port v Melbourne / West Coast

 

[funk44]

Looking forward to playing our home final at our oppositions home ground

 

[DapperDon]

Geelong v Tiges at the G or Etihad?

 

[DapperDon]

Looking forward to playing our home final at Richmonds home ground

This answers my previous question.

it's shit no doubt, should get home final rights no question.

 

[Mningasimisonda]

Geelong v Tiges at the G or Etihad?

Has to be at the G or Geelong. Geelong hates Etihad.

 

[The Blue Baggers]

Crows v Giants Thursday
Cats v Tigers Friday
Power v Demons Sat arvo
Swans v Bombers Sat night

Not so quick , WC still a big chance !!

Based on the live ladder.

Neither.... Thursday should be a QF while Friday should be the corresponding EF.... gives the QFinalist an extra day break for the semi

 

[Rod Stroker]

Based on the live ladder.

Based on the live ladder Melbourne will be in Bali during September

 

[Boxhead_31]

So just to look ahead.

If we beat the Tigers and the Crows beat the Giants then the Giants beat the winner of the Port vs Dees/Eagles game.

Geelong get a Kardinia Park Prelim against GWS?

 

[Rod Stroker]

No they'll play the winner of Port v Melbourne / West Coast

So then the Swans will play the loser of Geelong / Richmond. Could be another year of straight sets exit for top 4 finishers.

Very possible

No, but the winner of this game will probabl meet Swans in a PF. Losing this game could be a blessing.

 

[The Blue Baggers]

Not so sure , game will be @ the MCG

Swans already beat the Tigers there, no prob. They beat Geelong at Kardinia too.

 

[bigfarter]

If Geelong lose to Richmond and then have to face Sydney the following week I might be physically ill. Someone needs to do Geelong a favour and knock the Swans out.

 

[Inferno]

No, but the winner of this game will probabl meet Swans in a PF. Losing this game could be a blessing.

Geelong v Richmond is as critical a Qualifying Final as you'll probably ever get.

Presuming Adelaide and Sydney win - Winner of Cats vs. Tigers will play one of GWS, Port or Dees/Eagles in a home Prelim and would be a very, very good chance of being Grand Finalists.

Loser plays Sydney in a Semi and even if they survive that will play Adelaide in Adelaide in the PF.
