Apparently yes.
Weather is shaping up as the single biggest factor affecting the 2016 flag.

Has Footscray played much in the wet this season ? I know we have.

We played in a swimming pool a few times this year.

I think both times were vs Sydney this year and last year which we won. Most of our games are at the docklands after all with a roof.

However, I'd think our contestant possession strength which we have only lost three times this year would suit the wet. An adjustment in kick to handball movement is needed perhaps. MCG does drain well if its not continuous until the game or whatever.

Sydney wins because the Bulldogs spent their energy celebrating winning the prelim. Sydney have had the perfect preparation while the Bulldogs luck is about to run out.

Not even the umpires can stop a 120 point loss coming their way.

I thought the Bulldogs spent all of their energy celebrating their EF & SF wins too.

Yeah true, have just been watching his debut game against the Dockers from back in round 1 this year, really rated him hey. But your depth has been tested massively and come up trumps so will back in whatever 22 you put out there this Saturday. Good luck!

Your team did that. Big one point win in a meaningless over Collingwood in round 23 was the premiership for the Hawks. Didn't win another game after that......

I think if the Dogs were going down that path, it would have already happened after the West Coast or Hawthorn wins.

the umpire strategy worked well for your GFs, enjoy Saturday you can play "yesterdays heroes" or "memories" on your iphone
 
Does anyone remember if Adelaide were the underdogs in the betting in 1997 during the first three finals matches that series when they won the flag from outside the top four?

Its ok I just checked with God and it will be dry on the MCG during the Arvo so long as Syd has his wees outside the ground!

They won it from 4th in 97. 98 was the year they won it from 5th - surely they had to be underdogs in the PF against the second-ranked Bulldogs away? Especially after Adelaide had been trounced week 1 by Melbourne by 48 points. Actually in week 2 they had to play third-placed Sydney at the SCG coming off that Melbourne loss - they couldn't have been favourites in that game either.

I didnt say they were underdogs this game! Although you could certainly think differently judging by what is being said in this thread!

I have just checked all the records dating back to the inception of Big Footy and after thorough David King style analysis it proves that nothing said in any of these threads have ever influenced the outcome of a game. However there was a direct correlation between number of posts and growth in GDP.
 
Not sure if this is the right place to post but not too sure - I have a ticket for the Carlton Draught Grand Final Front Bar that I'm looking to sell, if anyone is interested PM me. Looking to sell for $150. Ticket comes with two free Carlton Draught Schooners and is located at the doorstep of the MCG. Cheers
