Prediction The run home

[Ticky009]

Do we play home finals at SCG or ANZ?

ANZ

 

[Ticky009]

As of now it is ANZ but I have a feeling it'll be announced soon that we can play at the SCG this year.

No way will the AFL give up that coin.

Yeah true just hopeful more than anything.

 

[caesar88]

Oh ffs. Cmon Swannies finish third or fourth!

 

[PVF]

Just announced on 360 that all Sydney home finals will be played at ANZ

Boooooooooooooooooo

 

[caesar88]

Genuinely give us more of a chance at the G or AO than ANZ

 

[Nool Carpenna]

This current team doesn't care where we play.... we're going all the way!

We have a decent record at anz. Plus Collingwood won't make finals.

 

[McRobie]

The afl is a complete disgrace. ....get some spine you pigs.
If GWS make a home final don't they play at SCG? imagine that..we at anz and giants at scg....

I'd say mid-season byes are completely different to an end of season bye...wouldn't take anything at all from those stats.

 

[PVF]

Last three times we have won the Qualifying Final we've gone on to make the Grand Final.

Don't see the difference.

Is that because the players don't head out for a massive night on the town during the weekend off at the end of the year?

 

[Sketi]

lol, a few weeks ago many on this thread were predicting we'd fall out of the top 4 on percentage. Now we sit on top of the ladder with the most superior percentage in the league and people want us to drop some of it so we avoid Hawthorn

 

[elastic]

I agree we deal with Hawthorn straight up on our terms in Sydney.
I think it's time to slay the dragon or at least deal it a nasty flesh wound. If someone else doesn't kill them off afterwards then we front up again on GF day to go again.

Can we play the cats then please?

 

[Lakeside Swan]

So if Ive got this right. It's probable that we play Whorethorn at home if we win, yet if we lose we could end up playing away against Adelaide, Geelong or Whoreks. Is that the rough summary?
