ELIMINATION FINAL: SYDNEY vs NTH.MELBOURNE, OLYMPIC STADIUM, SAT NIGHT

[Rough_Edges]

Sydney in the wet.

Going to be a shocking match though.

8 or 9 goals might get you a win.

Carn Swans.

This will be Paul Roos' payback for 1996.

Swans by 42.

Starting to rain again....

Carn Swans.

This will be Paul Roos' payback for 1996.

Swans by 42.

The only way that margin will happen is if it's 42-0. I think Roos can win it, Sydney have won 4 of their last 10, all against bottom 8 sides (and two of those wins were by less than a kick).

Teams coming out onto the ground.
Kangaroos skipping like the girls they are.

 

[Fuzzy Wuzzy Bear]

With it raining and the swans flooding can we expect a 9 goals to 6 goals game?

 

[ManWithNoName]

It'll be an 8 or 9 goal game in front of 8 or 9 people looking at the crowd.

Great advertisment for that second NSW team

 

[Sportman1987]

Looking forward to a hard wet match

 

[mellowyellow]

Go Roo's

 

[Ricardo]

Looking forward to this match, do not know what to expect, too bad the crowd is poor its going to be a tough slog, a wet weather final!...... looks like <25k there, even with the heavy rain it is disappointing.

 

[stmookeyj]

About to head for the Anthem....

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE AUSTRALIAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE etc.....

 

[funkyfetlock]

I don't think I have ever wanted us to smash a team as much as I want to tonight. I hate North Melbourne so much.

Lol playing Hunters and Collectors instead of the National Anthem.

 

[ManWithNoName]

First they play the wrong song, then they play the anthem without Craig Willis' introduction.

Great night this...

 

[Arecsa]

Roos should win, 3 goals or so. Be lucky to get 20k there though, pathetic effort from the Swans bandwagoners.

 

[Xtreme]

Whomever wins will do it in extra time!

[Adelaide Hawk]

Where's the crowd, are they off watching the second AFL out of Sydney?

 

[Pigz #13]

What the ****s going on over in sydney!!...

Terrible conditions!

About 13,000 people there at this point in time.

Cant hear craig willis announce the anthem.

The ground has got none of the logo's painted on it.

And the afl want a new club located in sydney...give me a bloody break..that is a disgrace and the afl should be disgusted in there efforts......musics still going at the first bounce!

Scared of water. We're underway.

 

[stmookeyj]

LRT on Hale, can't hear any other matchups.

Wrong.

 

[stmookeyj]

Hale gets a free early for HTB, and converts.

SYD Donuts
NM 1.0.6

 

[3rd Grade Maggy]

This crowd looks a bit like Aami stadium 20 minutes into the last quarter today.

 

[Shane_Mag]

glad im not in sydney

 

[Rob]

And the game kicks off with a ridiculous HTB call in favour of the Roos when Hale dragged it under Kirk.

Good to see the umpiring standard has remained consistent with today's match.
