Wonder what Mario from Doncaster would say if he rang up SEN right now
He'd be high on the petrol fumes
Martin, Cotchin and Rance will have to really dominate for them to win easily. Guys like Prestia, Houli, Ellis and Caddy will also have to fire.
Jenkins will get shut down and don't think Tex will get much space against but Crows also have McGovern, Lynch and Betts who will probably snag a few between them.
At the other end, can't see Rioli repeating that performance and Talia will shut down Reiwoldt. Richmond don't have the firepower to match Adelaide.
Crows are a more balanced side who don't need their best 3 players to dominate to compete with the big boys.

Not convinced. Crows forward line is pretty awesome. If they have a game plan to keep Rance out of it, they'll win for mine.

What's stopping Rioli from repeating that performance? Riolis tend to go alright in Grand Finals.

Not fussed who wins - had my entertainment over the last three weeks, so good luck to both sides. Torn between Eddie and Dusty so just hoping for a good game.

Cotch and Ellis will get off. The MRP will manipulate the result or the Tigers will appeal and win.
I'm not advocating that guys can go out and belt each other during finals, but I'd like to see something like this.....
Unless it's intentional, then suspensions can be served in the new year?

Historically small forwards struggle in GFs (Cyril aside). Giants small defenders are pretty average as well.
To kick 4 goals in a GF is tough. In the past 10 years only the following players have achieved it:
Mooney
Stevie J x2
Chapman
Buddy
Roughie
Gunston x2
Some pretty impressive names on that list.

Same. I am content now that Cats and Swans are out of the running. Just please, please, please be a close match!

Adelaide will romp it in next week. They're equally as desperate as the Tigers (the sole reason Richmond has made it this far) but a billion times more talented and skillful. They are on a mission to win this flag for Phil Walsh and I shall salute them when they do, they've been the best team all year.

Are they or is it just that there are so many of them so it appears that they are worse than others. Every club has it ferals so we can't be dumping them all in the same basket

Go Crows! F.. K the Tiger sentiment!
Either team from SA can hold their own in the feral department regardless!

Impressive names, I agree. None of them are Rioli. There is something...dare I say...special about that name. A couple of them have done ok on the big day. I don't know if he'll kick a bunch of goals, I just hope he brings the Rioli magic.
Biggest problem for Cotchin is that even if its deemed as a minor offence that only warrants a fine, he is automatically suspended for one week since it's his third offence. Same applied to Hodge this year. Based on other incidents this year it will be impossible for the MRP to let this one go particularly because it resulted with a concussion. I'm afraid he's gone

Cochin and Ellis will both play. Both incidents weren't serious enough to warrant suspension for next week. Perhaps in the regular season, but not the GF.

I hope he's just trolling and not genuinely upset that the Grand Final is played at the MCG. I mean he's a paid journalists and not a Bigfooty poster, so he should know the reason why the GF has always been at the MCG.

Absolutely just getting himself in the contest for the ball.... and what’s more, he wins it.
Will and should play in GF. Was terrific play. Hodge or Lewis like.

So are crows fans
If Cotchin isn't suspended the AFL rules are a farce. I don't think he should go for that, but it is a third offence... head is sacrosanct... he made head contact... if Cotchin is not suspended it's rigged pure and simple.
I tend to agree. I think the rule sucks, but as he goes for the ball he brings his arms into his body and rolls his shoulder into Shiels - probably in self defence. Had he kept his arms outstretched to get the ball I think he would be okay.
I hate the tribunal's inconsistency.
