Finals week 3 tips & crowd expectations

[dean33]

Who did you hear that from ???? Those people that go by the name of They ????
BOM said slight chance of a shower Friday in Sydney. BFD !!!

If North are good enough they will win. Rain not going to do it for them neither is playing at ANZ opposed to the SCG.
Sydney have won 7 out of 8 finals they have played there only losing to quite possibly the Best side that has ever played the game in the 3 peat Brisbane Lions, but tell you what, take your calculations down to your local Taberet and get on North if you think they can win.

Delusional?? Overrating my team? haha I didn't think we would win and would lose to Sydney by 12 goals.
Yeah ok Menzel is only a hope but Vardy should be ok.
HMac wasn't great but Goldstein's effectiveness would have been more limited.
Bundy Ok at best? Lol.

Glad you didn't stick up for Motlop, he stunk.

He will be better next time but yeah he failed

How is he a master coach? Hasn't achieved anything yet apart from saying his team is the fittest, fastest most physical team in the AFL. Yet.....no silverware.

Hinkley is the reigning AFL coach of the year, and must be in the frame to win it again. Port was a basket case 2 years ago: the fact that he's guided us into a preliminary final in such a short space of time speaks volumes of the man. I bet the clubs that knocked Ken Hinkley back as their senior coach are now kicking themselves!!!!

The beat us in Adelaide by 2 goals, whilst we had Gibson, Lake, Mitchell, Rioli & Roughead in the stands. Be interesting to see if those 5 plus change of venue is worth more than 14 points.

I don't really think you can look at the last game between the two sides as any indicator of how this match can go. Hawthorn will likely have 5 different players from that game, Port will likely have 4. Different venue like you said etc. Both sides are playing a lot better now than they did than earlier in the year too. Expecting a close game irrespective of who wins.

Yep: Port hasn't been smashed since Jason Dunstall had hair: well not since round 22, 2013 against Fremantle anyway. This could be a classic.

Pretty silly journalism as it was 5 days out and only a possible shower yesterday. Things seem to be improving by the day

North did beat Sydney at the SCG in Round 4. That is significant as it is harder for opposition sides to win there than it is at the white elephant at Homebush.

GWS also beat the Swans

Are you sure it's not 15.6? It sort of felt like a 15.6 to me.

probably should have won that Prelim too... Sydney were right up there with them until 3 qtr time, just ran out of puff in the end, there were a bit upstart that year, upseting Port in Week 1 and suddenly found themselves with a home Prelim that no one really expected

God I hope North wins to shut up these arrogant Swans fans.

Unlikely though.

 

[sverik25]

Unlikely though.

I agree it's unlikely, but the way some Sydney supporters are talking it's as if all they have to do is walk out tomorrow night and they'll win.

North by 14 points, 37K

North v Hawks GF.
North to win the GF and remain undefeated against the other Top 4 teams.
