Preview 2014 AFL Grand Final - Sydney vs Hawthorn, MCG, 2.30pm, Saturday Sept 27th

[WWSD]

Sydney by 66 points.

They've got the best forward line, midfield, backline and the best depth in history.

 

[Power Raid]

I'm still barracking for Port, but I don't like my chances.

 

[Scotland]

Ed and Derm advertising 1pm EST? That's not right.

 

[wing it]

Hawks with a chance to become the most successful side in the AFL.

Should be a great match!9

4th AFL flag?

 

[teknodeejay]

Swans by 30
Hawks looked cooked.
Lewis not right is a big problem.

 

[hench]

Depends how straight Buddy kicks.

 

[SilentHunter_]

Ummmmmm, what's with the hawks fans all of a sudden praising Sydney??? And saying they deserve to be favorites and will smash hawks??

Taking a leaf out of Mick are you

Look at Sydney's form right now. No team can stop this Sydney juggernaut.

Sydney by 66 points

 

[The King!]

Number one qualifier travels to the home ground of the lower ranked qualifier. Does that count as an advantage or AFL conspiracy or something?

Is this at aurora stadium?

 

[WWSD]

Taking a leaf out of Mick are you

Who's Mick?

 

[TheOz]

Ed and Derm advertising 1pm EST? That's not right.

Probably includes all of their pre-game stuff which goes for a couple of hours.

 

[Costanza_]

We can banter all week long about who should win or what will be considered a choke - but both teams have the utmost respect for each other and know how damaging each can be. 2012 was an extraordinary game and this will be better.

Really evenly placed for mine.

 

[Chinacats]

Not much between these champion teams. Sydney is very even and consistent, yet the hawks can crank it up when on song. More time to think for this one!!

As a neutral I'm hoping for a repeat of 2012. Even money game for mine.

Matt "Hay-Seuss" Spangher looked out of place in the forward line tonight. WIll certainly be needed in his natural environment next Saturday.

 

[Righteo]

The Roughy/Buddy showdown brings a great element to this game, unfortunately reckon Sydney will be too strong but Hawthorn do appear to match up well on them.

I will say now that Hawthorn are very unlikely to win if Lewis misses.

 

[getgaff]

As a neutral I'm hoping and thinking it will be a ripper game. Early days but I'll say Swans by 2 goals and JPK for the Smith

 

[thecatattack]

Buddy to kick 7.

UP THE SWANNNIES

 

[The King!]

I think whichever group of fans gets on top in this thread could have a massive bearing on the result

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

They will be wild momentum swings in this game where one side takes a 4-5 goal lead and the other reels it back in, goalkicking will be the factor to determine the winner.

 

[Red mist]

Sydney by 66 points.

They've got the best forward line, midfield, backline and the best depth in history.

You must be superstitious or something to play your hand like that. Lol, is that how it worked for you the last two GF victories? Hawks by 20. Had a hard hit out today compared to Sydney's game. You got your cage rattled today but held up. Sydney weren't even harassed too much, their players will be half a second behind from the start next week.

 

[getgaff]

Hopefully Football has been the winner come 5 pm next Saturday afternoon. A lot like 2012

 

[wing it]

Rioli to get through the VFL grannie, get selected next week, have little impact in the first half, ping a hammy, and win the Leon Davis Medal for WOG.

Hawks by 5.
