Actually I'm probably underestimating the Spotless crowd. It was 15.7k last month, which was a non-derby record. if another 7k travel from Perth might be around 22-23k.

Sydney by 31 points - 64,000.
West Coast by 9 points- 16. (If that one extra car makes it across the Nullarbor then the crowd will be 21)

Cant see cats winning away from home. Straight sets looming. Can they recover from the physical and mental perturbations of the weekend?

Giants need to be simpler and smarter. They clearly tried to beat crows with height. They need to focus on speed, run eagles off their feet, attack attack when in possession and go hard the rest of the time. The 2 big outs will be a blessing.

Swans - 87 points.
Giants - 26 points.

We actually won the contested posession against the Crows and laid 110 tackles it's not effort or height that's the problem. It's not even getting hands on the ball, it's our ball movement that didn't work against the Crows, and puts us below the Tigers as well in my view.

Given their match is against Sydney in a knockout semi - I think around the 77-80K mark is about there. If it was a prelim Id probably expect to see 10K more thereabouts
They got 71,772 against the Swans in the Preliminary Final last year, so I don't see that crowd number being surpassed on Friday night.
