Banking on WC beating the crows tonight, that gives us a home final if we win.

Shoey in means we could drop Brand. Shoe will okay forward but if we get an injury has played 80 AFL games as a defender.
Unless Burton has much more impact, will go out for Stratts.
Spang (if Fitz is horrible) and Langers only other possible ins for finals IMO.

No it doesn't one of Geelong and Sydney have to lose too to bank us a home final spot

We'd be 'away' to Geelong at the MCG.

 

[Hodginator]

But the Cats winning means we'd play on the G either way.

 

[Crankyhawk]

Didn't expect Brand to get the Arse, does not bode well for him playing finals.

Could it be match ups with Moore injured?

True. We'll be disappointed though. West Coast? more like 'Anywhere but West Choke'

I think cats at the g is a home final do you disagree

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Could it be match ups with Moore injured?

Wouldn't have thought so as another key forward in Cloke replaced him.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

I think cats at the g is a home final do you disagree

Its technically an away final in our home state.

Needs it's own thread!

Who cares are you serious

 

[Mitchell54]

If West Coast win and everything else goes as expected it will be a dream 1st week of finals.

1st vs 4th: Sydney vs GWS
2nd vs 3rd: Geelong vs Hawthorn
5th vs 8th: Adelaide vs North Melbourne
6th vs 7th: West Coast vs Western Bulldogs

one game in each state.

at our home ground... almost as good as a home final. not quite though.

 

[Qlder_19]

IMHO there will be late out on sunday but I hope i'm wrong

 

[Hodginator]

Even if WCE scored the win and we got an away game at the G, everyone here would end up complaining that we'd have to wear white shorts

 

[tige19]

Pun intended?

Of course lol.. Na not that creative

I'm cheering the Eagles tonight!

 

[halfback dasher]

Massive danger game with the outs and a possibility of another on game day .

 

[Agent Smith]

Weird team. Our defence was crap last week. Likely one of Sic/Gunner/Schoey or Burton will spend some time there.

I can see Sicily going back early to get him into the game. Then he swaps with Burton in the second half.

 

[halfback dasher]

Crows so bloody lucky to be in the game here

Crows so bloody lucky to be in the game here

Why couldn't Jack Darling kick this poorly last week?

[bigton08]

This game has DANGER all over it part of me has started not to care TBH I don't want us playing the handbaggers I'm over that s**t that's if results went that way... We are lucky to be in the eight to begin with sad but true.... Roughy ain't there cegs is gawn things aren't "right". The last thing I need to see is dangerless and sookwood pulling their s**t on our players been there done that it's tiring.Why not finish out of the four it is what it is.....
