Would we get squeezed into Etihad?

[TP86]

Hypothetical so by all means close and delete if its a reach...but the ladder predictor says to me...

Cats v Swans
Hawks v Dockers
Tigers v Power/Blues depending on R23
Pies v Bombers

If this happens who gets squeezed into Etihad in week 1?

The Tigers if they play Port?
Geelong v Sydney?
Or us?

Adds a bit to the next 2 weeks IMO

 

[TheExtractorFactor]

We deserve an MCG Friday night match as we will likely finish top spot. However seeing as we are Hawthorn it will more likely be a 4:40 Sunday match at Etihad

 

[Hoogmeister]

Cats v Swans at Etihad maybe?

 

[Hoogmeister]

If we go to Etihad I will be disappointed, especially after what happened last year. Although, when was the last time we lost at Etihad Stadium?

 

[Buckemenico]

No need to worry. Will not happen

 

[grizzlym]

Considering that one and all now call that disgrace of a stadium Shitihad - and how appropriate is that? - getting 'squeezed' is rather hilariously apt.

 

[Neville Bartos]

To be fair
1. We play really well there. It suits our gameplan perfectly.
2. We could genuinely have 90% of the stadium capacity as Hawks supporters. Considering at the G you often get heaps of MCC, AFL members and way more tickets for visiting members, at the Dome we could genuinely have our own house of pain

 

[Cyrillicious]

As much as i hate the place hawks never loose a game there.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Given the AFL,or rather Demetriou, we'll be playing at subiaco

 

[blue harvest]

In the OP scenario it makes sense that our game would be at Etihad.

 

[Hodginator]

What is Freos record like there this year?

 

[Pessimistic]

What is Freos record like there this year?

They play crap teams there

Worst part is it would probably be saturday, and i prefer friday

 

[Hodginator]

They play crap teams there

We'll be playing the Swans anyway. 2 weeks in a row.

 

[rdhopkins2]

Let's pack the 'G this week against North full of brown and gold. Time to show that Docklands would not be a good option.

It's a North home game at the dome

 

[rdhopkins2]

Whoops! Right you are!

 

[OhhhhhCyril]

How do you have us playing Freo?

I have have it like this...

Hawthorn def North
Geelong Def Sydney
Freo def Port

Sydney Def Hawthorn
Geelong Def Brisbane
Freo Def St.kilda

Hawthorn
Geelong
Freo
Syd

Could be wrong, but ... Looks about right to me.
I guess whoever gets Freo prolly gets Etihad... But surely if we finish on top we deserve the home final, and whoever plays Port gets the Dome..??

Having said that if we happen to drop North and Sydney we could go to 2nd, and well... Don't wanna talk about that..

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

This week is super important. Should be massive

Percentages are similar so positions may vary

Funnily enough it could send the implied message if we packed the G with brown and gold while the match is on at etihad

 

[Furn2]

Lol, no one go then.

 

[Jaeger]

Surely Geelong will be the ones playing at Etihad.

Too funny.

Henceforth I shall refer to it as Peristalsis Park.

Touch wood (v North @ Eithad this Saturday)

Due to the fortune of Freo and Swans to have had return games against Demons/GWS.
