Oppo Camp 2014 finals - "the view from the hill"

[VSTone]

the finals kick off without the crows...
so, who's gonna win?

a thread for general musings as we watch the top of the heap go at it?

looking forward to tonight's battle royale - i cant decide... hopefully an almighty dust up or two..!

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Tonight should be awesome

Obviously not quite the same with no Crows but at least Sturt is fighting on.

 

[Miss Vanessa]

Whoever wins out of Port and Richmond are boned. Can't see either the Swans or Freo going out in straight sets. If Geelong lose tonight, then I can see them potentially getting done next week... But let's face it, it will probably be the Swans vs the Hawks in the GF. They are the two best teams by a margin.

 

[VSTone]

anyone think the cats were sand bagging last time?

the cats have surprised the hell out of me this year... i thought they'd go backward, but it hasn't happened

Yup

Gunston - you ship jumper...

 

[VSTone]

great intro - born for this

 

[Allefgib]

I love the anthem before the game. Wish we did it for all games.

 

[VSTone]

how big is Tom Hawkins? - looks like he'd eat three sheep for breakfast

Sure do - Cats for me tonight

 

[VSTone]

hells bells - here we go

 

[VSTone]

some hard running on display tonight

While I know that it's a sign of a good team to win the close ones - and they've done that a lot this year! - I just think they aren't too far away from being mid-table struggling for the eight... I'll almost certainly be eating my words by the end of the night now...

 

[VSTone]

Jelwood - slots the first...and the cats are away!

 

[xchadders]

probably a hawks v swans grand final.
hawks v geelong will probably be the best game of the finals.

going for fremantle.

 

[GROTTO]

Geez our Club is so far away from this standard tonight.

 

[Allefgib]

Game style so far more up or alley.

 

[VSTone]

bang bang bartel...goals...

point of note - the long kick out by the cats to a bunch of cats players, who'd a thought it

 

[VSTone]

can the cats maintain this for 4 qtrs?

 

[VSTone]

the rough one replies... hawks are on the board

 

[VSTone]

game on...

 

[VSTone]

the hawks have found the button... 3rd goal on the board

 

[VSTone]

if you don't hit the scoreboard - the hawks will punish you

This is how I see the finals going:

My tip is Geelong by 119 points.
