Why are the giants in capitals?

 

[ESKIE]

Mighty interesting how the ladder pans out

 

[myblueroan]

Why are the giants in capitals?

Cos GIANTS?

 

[agro]

Do we want * to beat cats next week - I’d kind of like to play * in the first week of finals - it would be like kind of a double bye.

Too soon?

 

[Benaly28]

Hawkins out makes Geelong better. He’s been a liability most of this year.

Agree.

Danger/Bruhn/Guthrie out makes them vulnerable though.

Finishing 2nd is the absolute priority for us. Avoid the Swans away at all costs.

Not so sure about that. 2nd or 3rd likely doesn't matter, as (at the moment) it looks like being 2 Melbourne-based clubs, so will be at the 'G. Who wins that match has a great advantage with a home prelim at the 'G. However, the loser (assuming they win in week 2) then gets to travel to Sydney for a prelim (again assuming Sydney win week 1).

4th though, faces Sydney week one, but will get a home final week two. Win that and they face the winner of 2v3 in a prelim - likely at the 'G.

So the question then becomes - would you rather face Sydney in Sydney in week one or week three of the finals?

It's a problem with the current final 8 system. In some circumstances, it's better to finish 4th than 2nd or 3rd. This year might be one of those.

If we finish 2nd or 3rd, we really want to win that first match - it becomes a mini-GF.

Delivered what

I'm keeping my mouth shut on this one.

Should have retired last year.

 

[SurreyBlue]

The media fall over backwards to announce their bravery.
Can’t wait for them to lose the next 3.

 

[Thrawn]

The package doesn't include a head.

We won’t lose at the G in finals.

Simple.

And half of Fox management producers etc.

Cult is as cult does.

 

[myblueroan]

Where is BlueGum?

Hope you are ok .

 

[I bleed Blue]

Still think Bombers drop out of the 8 in the last round of the year

 

[Dadda Dave]

I honestly can not see what the majority of all the media see in this shit stain of a club ..
It's vomit ..
