Re: Elimination Final - Carlton v Essendon @MCG - Wouldn't want it any other way!!

guys I actually think we'll know Saturday night about the finals. I think that because there's just dead rubbers on Sunday the AFL are going to release the schedule Sat night

That will get you in trouble Lance and by the way, they're not reusable.

Probably a stupid Question This far out but does anyone know when this game is likely to be?

Friday night hawks v cats

Saturday swans v saints

Saturday night blues v bombers

Sunday pies v eagles

No chance. They're not going to give the winner of 5v8 an advantage over the loser of 1v4.

We will play Sunday arvo.

More likely. .. but I could see a Sunday arvo game coming our way. .. The AFL has scheduled a few blockbusters on Sunday this year. ..

Edit: BTW with the elim. finals tickets for GA members, can you by guest seats as well, what's the limit?

Re: Elimination Final - Carlton v Essendon @MCG - Wouldn't want it any other way!!

AFL 360 tonight seemed pretty confident the schedule would be...

Geel/Haw - Friday Night (MCG)
Coll/WC - Saturday (MCG)
Syd/St K - Saturday Night (SCG or Etihad)
Carl/Ess - Sunday (MCG)

Theres a thread on the main board about this, which states

A. Members may have access to purchase additional tickets during the first three weeks of the finals for friends who wish to attend the game with you. The quantity of additional tickets is subject to the teams and venues, please refer to your member emails or check afl.com.au/finalstickets for updates prior to tickets going on sale

So, yes.

Cheers. .. I went looking on the Carlton page. .. neglected to think it would AFL based. .. Limits aren't released yet though, as it depends on the teams and ground. ..

If Henderson gets Hurley then what do we do with Jamo? Any chance we put him up forward again?

If we are going to push one of them forward, it would surely be Hendo.

Re: Elimination Final - Carlton v Essendon @MCG - Wouldn't want it any other way!!

I'd say Hendo and Thornton would be rotating through CHF and CHB.

I hope not. Jammo is our 'near' all Australian fullback this year (cost only by injury). He needs to take first crack at all oppositon best backmen.

Hendo would star picking up and running off the second options. He's had his baptism of fire over the past few weeks.

Surely that doesn't make sense.

Jamison to Hurley. Right size, both #1s.
Henderson to Hille/Ryder. Taller, more of a swingman.

 

[Lukesta63]

Is Hird the type of coach to order a couple of assassinations??
I.e: Send Hocking,Lovett-Murray,Hille out to clean up the likes of Judd,Gibbs,Garlett.
It doesnt bear thinking,because I dont think we have the players to protect these guys.
In their eyes I feel revenge and taking some of our stars out is a very close second to actually winning the game!!

 

[Slattery_20]

I don't think NLM needs instruction to hit someone late. He's just overly aggressive and a bit of a dumb player.
The hit he got Kerr with was perfect.

Their finals campaign may be derailed before it's even started:

ESSENDON assistant coach Dean Wallis is the subject of an AFL investigation into alleged betting on a match involving his club last weekend.

The AFL launched the investigation yesterday into a football official's alleged three-figure bet on what is called a quarter-quad bet.

This is ****ing bullshit!

I can't wait another 9 days!

Hopefully this can act as a temporary distraction

Still the most amazing finish ever... he almost kicked half of the teams score in the last qtr alone...

 

[Krooooze]

For a few lulz head across to the Ess board and read why they hate us. Makes for some funny reading.

Just be careful while your there. .. My favourite is the guys trying to point out that the Dons have more members, must be ignoring the audit

 

[High Ryder]

Looking forward to this one, could be absolute epic.

Hurley is on the verge of breaking out into one of the elite players in the competition.

The game rests on you guys being able to stop him.

Don't put Henderson on him or Hurley could kick 8.

Jamison definitely has to go to him, he is the only player on your list capable of doing the job imo.

Of course having said that, if we can't get it down to him like last time we met then it won't matter.

Difference being though we will be fielding a much stronger midfield one that closer resembles our best engine room.

The countdown is on and i can't wait for special moments this final series!

So, anything short of an AA quality back-man on Hurley and presto, 8 goals just like that.

Some serious overrating of an individual, just there.
Can't wait for the movie: Michael Hurley vs. The World.

That's it then Harks.

We have no chance. Might as well concede now.

Wow didn't realise Essendon was a one man show.
