Let’s hope we are on top of Dogs at the end.

Sportsbet have us playing 3.20pm Sat. Reckon Lions will be Sat night.

Sportsbet have us playing 3.20pm Sat. Reckon Lions will be Sat night.

Makes sense - 7 would probably get higher ratings for the Lions vs Carlton game because of the Brisbane audience so they’d prefer that.

Hope that is true. That’s more in line with the games we’ve played all year

possibly suspended due to a dangerous tackle.

Thoughts?

 

[theiaofseed]

Jones should be suspended for his tackle on Cadman.

 

[kazzooka]

Finn to remain to tag bont?

Finn hasn't tagged all year and his kicking was quite poor.

Out for Day or CJ I think. He played Wing so CJ walks in there.

Morrison may miss out if both Day and Jiath get up.

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Liam Jones possibly suspended due to a dangerous tackle.

Thoughts?

Will get off. -25% for finals and another -25% for playing Hawthorn

Ducking the Chols Royce

 

[Delecate Des]

Yes. This is one for the Dreamers ... !

Delecate Des

Never doubted it for minute, and we are only getting started

 

[TheExtractorFactor]

This is the game we need Battle and/or Barrass for…

Sic/Srimma/Weddle have been huge all year, we will need their intercepting more than ever with their tall forward line. Frosty gonna have a huge role too. Crucial the midfield doesnt allow them clean entries.

This group has risen to every big occasion, no reason to believe they wont again. Whether that is good enough to beat another top side is another question. But at the G and with our running ability, we are in with a real chance.

 

[cryptor]

Day in for Maginness. If fit CJ will come back in for Morrison. It's clear Sam rates CJ higher.

Will be interesting to see if Jones avoids suspension and how Treloar pulls up.

 

[Hawkk]

If it’s not 90k it’ll reflect poorly on the dogs. We’ve been pulling crowds most of the year and we’ll show up again Saturday week.

We should be able to fill the MCG just with Hawthorn fans

 

[Angak]

It’s a bit disappointing that the most exciting teams in the comp (by miles) have to line up in a EF on week one. Only positive is, win this, not much else stands in the way.

The only team i dreaded facing were the Hawks. I think the winner goes all the way.

I just got tingles. Say more.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Best possible outcome now for Hawks or Dogs is a Port v Cats match in Adelaide.
A Cats loss being the best outcome.
Locks in 2nd home final.
Wouldn’t that be tasty if we were to progress..

Quasimodo predicted this. The winner of this elimination final plays the loser of the qualifying final between Port Adelaide and Geelong in the semi final.

 

[Cyrilyouchampion]

The AFL loves to screw the Hawks with scheduling, so based on that the game will be played Sunday night at 9.30

 

[Mojo]

Does anyone else get annoyed when you go to another teams' board and it doesn't operate the same way ours does?

Western Bulldogs haven't even started a preview thread for this game - wtf?

 

[Dixie Flatline]

bookies have us opening as underdogs:

We don't need odds to be mentioned on this board. Thanks for your cooperation.

 

[Sirlemsip]

Jones will definitely get 1 week from MRO.

Dogs will definitely fight it.

Will be interesting to see if they can get him off....

The Dogs are a miniature little club. They’ll get there eventually

 

[Blackhawk42]

Seems absurd to have the only MCG game played in the only day time slot.

Also reeks of the AFL thinking more people have an interest in whatever Carlton is doing.

Regardless, if we have the 3:20 slot I'd actually be a chance at making the trip down.

 

[user33]

Swans giants on Saturday night.

We should’ve got the Friday night slot but nope, still get the worst fixture no matter what we do.
