Finals week 3 tips & crowd expectations

[JackFlash]

God I hope they listen to you

The Swans will use this game as a tune up, a practice run, a training drill, they won't be losing any sleep over this one. The Hawks on the other hand will require a daily supply of Imodium Capsules before next weeks game.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Swans def north by 53

Port def Haw by 27 ( hawks to lead by 88 at the last change but Ports fitness to just be to good with a 20 goal final term)

People actually tipping North to win. Lol.

 

[raskolnikov]

Sydney by 42
Hawthorn by 22

If there is an upset it will be Port.

Sadly, I have more important and interesting things do than watch the Hawks Swans GF.

Like watching paint dry.

Wouldn't enjoy the 2 best teams in the comp playing off? the round 18 game was one of the best most entertaining games of the Season

Raskolinikov should probably just quit following the sport if thats the feeling...

Not really, as my care factor would be zero.

I spose if you hate both mobs then that understandable

They should win fairly comfortably but nothing is a given at this stage of the season, you don't make the prelim finals if you are a poor side.

 

[Papa32]

Last time Hawthorn met Port they were flying and Roughead, Lake, Gibson, Mitchell, Hodge and Rioli all missed the game.

All of those players will play this week, bar Rioli possibly.

Hodge played that game. Wouldn't be looking at a round 10 game to give answers as to who will win a Preliminary Final.

Sydney by 37
Port by 3

Yeah Hawthorn should just win because they are a better football side...but you never know your luck in the big city

Sydney vs. North 56 pts 50k
Hawthorn vs. Port 54 pts 70k

Yep. As much as Port have been playing some brilliant football, Hawthorn are a great side who can match Port with pace. Also the fact that Hawthorn have been a finals team since 2007 (exception of 2009) gives them great experience for a cut throat Prelim Final, but anything can happen.

Yeah pretty well said, regardless of what happens to Port this saturday they are winning a premiership in the next 3 years IMO

Matthew Nicholls is leading our best & fairest. Been a consistent player all year.

If he gets the GF your opponents might as well forfeit. When he officiates Hawthorn games He makes COLA look like a minor concession.

[Roobs321]

I think Sydney over North in a thriller (never really look like losing, but still a frantic last several minutes), Hawthorn over Port relatively comfortably (at least a couple goals, with maybe a too late junk time Port comeback to make things look more respectable), and then Sydney wins a memorable GF by a slim margin (slightly better on the day).

That's no reflection on how I rate each team or anything, just what I anticipate will happen.

Is that like the 110 point training drill Geelong served up earlier this year? I think Sydney is upset they arent facing the cats.
A real team is playing the prelim
