Game Day Semi Final - Swans v Crows (winner to play Geelong)

[catempire]

Hard to enthusiastically support either side, unlike last night.

Let's hope for a bruising encounter. Maybe extra time?

Same deal as last night, nearest the pin comp in the poll.

Gone for the draw and extra time. Hope they belt the living suitcases out of each other in the process too.

 

[FISTO]

Would rather Adelaide win as it gives us a better chance of making it through, but expect Sydney to win

 

[Cronin]

Crows by 5pts, GO CROWS!

 

[Biggy_Boy]

Expect Sydney will win. Hope they smash each other.

 

[dazbroncos]

Yup...

A dour slog fest in the wet for the full allotment of time, lots of hard tackles, bumps and hits - all fair of course - no injuries - but just an smashing for both of them.

The kind of game they are still feeling Thursday next week... heavy underfoot...

Go Catters

extra time to be decided by an unnecessary dean towers rushed behind.

 

[Two Planks]

Jed Bews will be cheering his head off for a crows win with Eddie booting 10.

Or Buddy having a shot from 55m out after the siren, but the kick being waved off after an umpire deems he played on after going out on his arc.

My thoughts also.

 

[Mr Meow]

Think Sydney will get out to an early lead and hold sway in a slog-fest by about three goals all game.

Hope I'm wrong. If Adelaide get through, we'll be the only team remaining that's been in a GF this millennium. Exciting for the competition and hopefully advantageous for us.

We have some boys stung by recent finals losses. These new Doggies and GWS need to have heartbreak of their own before their inevitable success. And Adelaide, well it would be tasty for "Clangerfield" to send them (really the fans rather than the players) packing in 2016.

 

[Two Planks]

So we either play a team we have never met at the MCG or a team we haven't played there since 1934. Either way it will be something different.

 

[supahoops]

Sydney easily, 55.

 

[Two Planks]

Who do you reckon Danger wants to win.

 

[supahoops]

Whatever the result Sydney's decision to play a day later can only benefit us. Hoping for carnage so I am.

how did you manage to accidentally click the crows by 60+ which is the bottom option?

Swans comfortably if they can match Adelaide for speed. Their defence won't allow easy goals out the back and will gobble up the Crows' predictable forward entries. Only question marks are over how well Sydney's mids will fare defensively - they were suspect last week in the heat of the battle and allowed GWS to stream through the middle of the ground with ease (proved very costly given the Giants' pace and efficiency).

Regardless, Adelaide are a bit vanilla for me - nothing better than a 5-8 side. I think it will show tonight. They just aren't as good as some seem to believe.

Like others - im hoping Crows will win - because Geelong will clean them up no problem

However reality is totally different - Crows are brittle - The Swans will just grind them or bury them in the mud - will lead at every change - increasing the margin at every break - Full Time Swans by about 50 points( wouldnt mind seeing Kennedy Parker and McVeigh all on the injured list - nothing serious - just that they miss next week )

I would rather Grundy, Rampe and Aliir go down.

 

[GeelongFTW]

I'd rather they all get suspended from a massive all-out brawl. entertainment + free ride into the GF = profit.

On phone it was right next to the "Cast your vote" button. Miss click

 

[winty]

Luke Darcy to Kurt Tippett: "If the Swans win tonight is your season still alive?"

Well duh!

Should be able to change it anyway if you really wanted to.
I fear Swans will show them up
