Geelong have surprised me at times this year when I thought they were shot dead, I reckon there is a chance they'll put in a great effort against their bogey side come friday night. Sydney by 6 if so, Geelong hasn't faced close game heartbreak yet this year. If that is not the case, Sydney by 25.
GWS should also put in a more respectable effort, can't see West Coast winning after the way they won against port, GWS by 33.

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.
Swans by 87!? Wow. Okay. Don't get me wrong, I would love it if that happened but I just don't see it.

Swans by 21 - 65,000
Giants by 29 - 23,000

Geelong v Sydney - Swans by 9 in a hard fought match, The Punch-a-Hawk to rack up another suspension as Lance racks up 6 goals

GWS v West Coast Eagles : Giants edge the Eagles by 6. Naitanui with a surprise return and Eagles fans not happy with the result at least happy with a clean bill of health for Nic, and heading home with excitement for 2018

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.
What i noticed was long bombs to talls. Need to hit up leads and run the ball with speed, hand passing and running.

Too sides of the same coin I think. Absolutely agree. The reason we're bombing it is because we lack the fluency in ball movement that the Crows and you guys have. Leons said publicly he challenged Scully and Whitfield to kick running goals this year. Shiel, Kelly and Smith should be as well.

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure Sydney will beat Geelong on Friday night but I'm highly amused that most of the non-tip discussion in this thread is Richmond supporters laying the boot into Geelong and it's fans. Very classy.
Not laying the boots in at all, actually more worried about you guys all suffering finals fatigue. No wonder you didn't show up on Friday.
