Hoping that we are very competitive, but at the same time I do not expect us to win.

Go Power...

Port by 43 points.

I didn't trust Mr. Swan when he was Federal Treasurer, and I'm not sure I trust him now: 1 point will do me

 

[Tippett2Goal]

Reckon Hawks should/will get it done

But either side sets up an excellent GF next week, will be cheering for Port

 

[OhhhhhCyril]

Starting to feel a bit sick in the guts, don't usually feel like this before a game. I honestly have no idea which way this game is going to go...

As a Crows supporter I share your worry.

Why is a preliminary final played at 4:45.

Was this Gilligan's decision?

 

[Chinacats]

Hawks have struggled in last 3 prelims, yet I feel they're are very seasoned, professional and a champion team. I love port's run and dare, yet I feel they don't have the muscle yet. Swans v hawks granny!

I'm not saying you're wrong, but only 5 players (Boomer, Petrie, Swallow, Wells, Firrito) who played last night played in 2007 PF and only 1 (probably only Boomer) played in 2000.
They're not related.

To be fair to North the teams that beat them faced some pretty decent teams in the GF

 

[SSSSSS]

Scheduling of this game is an absolute farce. Why couldn't they just make it the usual start.

 

[Billy ray]

Twilight is great for the kids. The next generation of fans. Aside from GF and 2 games in week one, kids cant watch finals football. All finals after week one should be 2pm or twilight at latest.

At least it's not as bad as 2012. Forced to play on Saturday despite coming first and at a 5:15 start
