Preview 2024 Second Elimination Final: Western Bulldogs v Hawthorn, 6 September 2024, 7.40pm @ MCG

[5minutes_of_Dew]

Dogs will smash them now.

Boy I hope not.

It'd be great to get an easy kill of a wounded Carlton first week in finals. Would put an end to our days without a finals win (nobody wants to be getting anywhere near Essendon territory).

It'll be huge for our youngsters to continue building that belief and learn more about dealing with getting it done on the big stage.

 

[Ballsontheline]

So many ppl for some reason always just say Harry out for whoever is about to come in. I'm convinced these people don't actually watch the game. He is easily more reliable then fumbles (CJ) and even Mackenzie who is still not ready for the big stage.

Finn will make way for Day. I think Mackenzie secured his spot yesterday though there is a possibility they prefer Morrison in a pressure game.

I expect it will come down to CJ or Morrison.

Morrison is the safe option. CJ can be error prone with the ball but I was speaking to someone from Collingwood last night who was explaining how valuable and important CJ’s run is, even if not always apparent to fans. Likened him to Hoskin Elliot for them last year. I reckon we will go with CJ if he’s fit

 

[Ned Ryerson]

If CJ could just compose himself that little bit more he’d be absolutely deadly. I think he just tends to spend it before he’s got it and then fumbles as a result and then can panic a bit to recover. Needs a little more ice in his veins.

 

[MazHawk]

Do we know anything about prices?

 

[HedgeFund]

Dogs will smash them now.

An MCG away game against the Bulldogs is looking pretty much certain now.

An MCG away game against the Bulldogs is looking pretty much certain now.

Have GWS got a lot of injuries? They only are 9 points down.

 

[Graham and the Colonel]

cant wait!

 

[The Jet From Poowong]

Dogs it will be
Bring it on. Let’s get the G rocking

 

[HedgeFund]

Have GWS got a lot of injuries? They only are 9 points down.

17 now with the breeze at their backs in the last term.

Stone (ill), Daniels (lower back) and Bedford (calf) were late outs and frankly it wouldn’t be so bad for GWS to finish 4th as they stay in Sydney and play the Swans in week 1.

Will host a SF or PF after that either way.

 

[Gunbarrel Jack]

Dogs will win from here. GWS not hard enough to go with the dogs. And with a strong breeze favouring the dogs in the final quarter, they surely won't drop this. GWS played the conditions poorly so far.

Bring on the dogs - don't think they go with us at the speed we play.

has to be gone for a dangerous tackle. Unless new rules are being made for finals.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Bulldogs will have the wind in the last quarter, are 17 points in front and are in control of the game. Doesn't seem like the Giants will turn it around in the last quarter. Seems to be fairly clear we will face the Bulldogs. If so, chance for redemption for 2016.

For those asking about ticket information, members received an email from the club yesterday. Suggests tickets will go on sale for members either Tuesday or Wednesday and this will be confirmed tomorrow. Tickets to the public will go on sale later in the week, I would think.

Members will need their barcodes but the club will email them out tomorrow, apparently.

New rules being made for the Bulldogs all the time. They get special dispensation to throw the ball around.

And Beveridge will still find something to whine about.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Greene kicks one on the third quarter siren. Dogs by 11.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

There is still a remote chance we end up eighth. Requires the Dogs to win and the Blues to probably set a new record margin of victory against St Kilda.

Seem to be on course for seventh at the moment, unless the Giants turn it around in the last quarter.

And they concede the first goal of the last quarter.

quiet - he is playing a blinder today and is a big reason they lead this one

 

[Flukey!]

Hawks v Doggies will be a ripper at the G.
The two form sides in the comp going head to head.

Shame it's 2 weeks away.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Greene doing his darnedest to earn a top two spot for the Giants.

 

[Ballsontheline]

Does the winner of 6th v 7th play the looser of 1st v 4th, or 2nd v 3rd?

Looks very similar to Lachie Ash’s one on Young last week.

Copped a week which was upheld on appeal.

 

[OnTheRocks]

Do we tag Bont?

 

[TylerDurden]

Nash on him.

 

[Blackhawk42]

3 form teams in the comp, and now one is guaranteed to be eliminated in the first week.

A real shame that the cockroaches from Geelong get a double chance, or could easily win their way through to a Grand Final they have no right being near.
