So now we know who the 2 teams are the question now becomes which of the 2 would you rather play in the preliminary final.
GWS look to be out of form but they have that much talent across their list that it could click at any moment and we have seen that happen this year already when they overran us up at Spotless when we looked to be on our way to a win. On the flip side the last game we played they were systematically pulled apart by us as we outworked them and turned a 20 point deficit into a 19 point win. On prelim final day we'd be pretty much playing them in front of a 95-98% Tigers crowd
WCE are a hard side to gauge. Looked great early against the Power then went over an hour without kicking a goal, then when all looked lost late in the 4th and extra time they were able to dig deep and haul themselves over the line. They do have a potent forward line with Kennedy and Darling both capable of having days out. Their midfield is pretty solid with a good mix of inside ball winners and outside run and carry and their back line has a couple of very good players that could make it very difficult for us if we're slightly off our game. Only need to look at the game we played early in the season at the G. Before the rain came the Eagles looked like getting the win.
Personally I don't see either as being an easy game. We'll have to be on our game from the start and be willing to pay the price to go through to our first Grand Final in 35 years.
NOTE: Opposition fans this isn't a we're going to the Grand Final regardless thread. More a discussion of who us fans would prefer to play.
