The Grand Final match-ups.

[QS]

I reckon every single WA fan if asked would rather a loss to Hawthorn in a GF than their WA opposition?

I will have my cake and eat it too; would prefer a loss to Hawthorn but a win against Freo.

 

[G0ther00s]

Last nights game was boring and it was close till the end.

That's Sydney's game style not norths. North regularly score over 100 points, I love how you use one game where North still scored 80 points which is more than most teams kick and was a down night for north offensively.

 

[Murraj1966]

Hawthorn vs North, or Freo vs WCE

All other games look awful in comparison.

 

[Matt Stevic]

I want Hawks vs North. But no matter whether WC or North play, I want either Jarrad Waite or Josh Kennedy to kick a bag of 7.

 

[JaxsonB]

Hawthorn vs North Melbourne





No doubt in my mind

This crap again. Can't wait until next weekend when at least half your prediction is wrong. Unless you've got more reasoning for North over WC than "the talls! the talls!", despite the fact they had relatively minor impact in the last match and aren't the only tall forward line we've tussled with this year.



In any case, most factors indicate WC v Hawthorn, but I could also see Freo grinding out a pretty ugly win next weekend, and the derby grand final. Quite confident North won't get there.

 

[Stratton_Gun]

If we make it it would like north. Two traditional teams in a really interesting game personally think it will be a derby grand final though. Toss of the coin who wins

I just think North Melbourne will match up better in most parts of the ground. When looking at key matchups I see Kennedy and Darling with reasonable opponents while fails to see that on other end of the ground. Midfield battle edge I give to Kangaroos and think Goldstien will have Nic Nat covered well. North Melbourne by 8 points

Hawthorn will beat Fremantle by least 50 points, as Fremantle don't think even capable to kicking 50 points

I hope your right mate

 

[sojthebest]

Fremantle were torn apart by Hawthorn the last time they played. Even with the week off I will be tipping Hawthorn.

I don't think that means much to be honest, especially considering that this will be played at Domain with Freo having had a week off.

 

[the_interloper]

I don't want to see two interstate sides in the granny usually but would be happy to see a derby to be honest.

McGovern>Any North key defender, thus AA nomination. Schofield and Sheppard have had better seasons than any North defender bar maybe Tarrant. This statement highlights just how little football knowledge you posses.

as you already don't know. Scott Thompson AA in 2013

could you make a more invalid argument? two years is a long time in footy. Thompson isn't that good.

Why is he no good? North are playing in a Prelim so must be safe to assume they have a few decent players. Your case is invalid

Hawthorn vs North Melbourne unless you can come up with an argument that can convince me

dude your comments here are somehow further damaging the carlton brand

Shut up. Free world and not evening mentioning Carlton. Talking about the remaining games involving the 4 teams left

For one we have the best forward in the game. His name is Josh Kennedy, maybe your struggling to come to terms with this because he left your mob. Secondly not only do we boast a wealth of quality key talls we are also fortunate to have brilliant small forwards like Hill, LeCras and Cripps who have kicked a mountain of goals between them. If im to keep going we have a Brownlow medalist who will help us win the midfield battle, along with AA Gaff and our barometer in Luke Shuey who tore the Hawks a new one last week. Then finally we have our defence, who play together with great cohesion lead by our skipper Hurn and our potential AA key defender in McGovern. Statistically im pretty sure we are the third best defensive group in the comp behind Freo and Hawthorn. If that isnt enough to convince you we will beat North Melbourne (which it probably wont knowing you) nothing will.

Not a bad argument been seeing North Melbourne last 2 weeks has been very impressive. Richmond and Sydney wins will give North Melbourne confidence heading in to West Coast knowing they can win away from home and like the Eagles being well rested not to mention injury clouds over Masten, Priddis and Schofield

Will be a very close, West Coast or North Melbourne by a margin of 8 points

Can we agree on this? Will be very close game unlike the Hawthorn Fremantle game which will be a blowout game

Think both games will be fairly close. None of the above have injury clouds, unlike Tarrant and Petrie

 

[ApplecrossWC]

North vs Hawthorn would be the most exciting, especially from a Melbourne perspective.

I don't really care for interstate sides and the buzz isn't the same when they are in the grand final. Really just a massive let down if it's west coast and freo.

any evidence to back up Schofields amazing year? his 11 disposals and 4 marks a game? Enlighten us Mr. football knowledge or are you like every other west coast supporter and overrate every player on your list?

 

[BigVic]

Fremantle were torn apart by Hawthorn the last time they played. Even with the week off I will be tipping Hawthorn.

They played in Tassie. Freo are well rested and Hawthorn are coming off a big win. Anything could happen Friday

 

[FootyJunkie]

Don't mind who we play if we make it.
But Hawks Vs North would be huge

Anyone anywhere.

North vs Hawthorn would be the most exciting, especially from a Melbourne perspective.

any all Vic GF is pretty big these days for the city of Melbourne, considering that it doesn't happen as often as it once used to

Derby GF would still be massive for other reasons

 

[Heaps of fun]

I've never been to Perth and am not even convinced that it exists. Don't think "neutrals" would be half as excited about a derby GF. No one wants to see West Coast win...anything...ever and people are still complaining about the last time Freo ruined the last day in September.

I used that as an example as its the most recent. Obviously you enjoy them but as an outside watcher i find them average to boring whether they score a little more or not. My opinion couldnt care less if you disagree.
