PORT v WCE 80pts 50k

Bitter much?

 

[PerthBoy86]

I actually think we have a real chance if we carry today's form into the Port match. If we win we play Adelaide or GWS, who we've been competitive against.

 

[Seeds]

lol geelong vs richmond crowd numbers. it will struggle to get 80,000.

 

[kaiserchief13]

ADE v GWS - 75pts 50k
GEE v RICH - 40pts 91k
SYD v ESS - 120pts 40k
PORT v WCE 80pts 50k

 

[Superduperouzel]

Richmond get a home final. This is basically what this is.

 

[HTT]

Adelaide 22 v GWS: 51/capacity
Geelong v Richmond 999 : 98/capacity
Sydney 47 v Essendon: 42
Port 1 v West Coast : 51/capacity

Capacity meaning whatever they actually make available

Port v West Coast to be 0-0 draw as port can't beat top 8 teams and west coast can't beat anyone away from Perth. Ken Hinkley reminds his players that west coast only made finals because Adelaide didn't actually care, and they perhaps aren't top 8 quality. They still struggle, but kick a behind in golden point to win.

 

[Breustiful]

Adelaide
Geelong
Sydney
Port

 

[Lance Uppercut]

lol brad

 

[Skipper_]

lol geelong vs richmond crowd numbers. it will struggle to get 80,000.

Clearly you haven't been to a Richmond home game.

 

[StevenwellerHFC]

Adelaide vs. GWS 27pts 32K

Geelong vs. Richmond 72pts 54k
Sydney vs. Essendon 150pts 20K

Port Adelaide vs. West Coast 118pts 42k

 

[Greasyrhys]

Adelaide to beat GWS
Geelong to beat Richmond
Sydney to beat Essendon
West Coast 14.2 (86) to beat Port 8.30 (78) with the Power having 60 more inside 50's

 

[Redline]

I actually think we have a real chance if we carry today's form into the Port match. If we win we play Adelaide or GWS, who we've been competitive against.

Is that right, I thought the loser of the Crows v GWS plays the winner of Sydney v Essendon?

 

[TooBlue14]

Adelaide 34 points, 35,000
Geelong 14 points 75,000
Sydney 44 points 42,000
Port Adelaide 31 points 35,000

 

[Macca18]

Adelaide 30
Geelong 6
Sydney 1
Port Adelaide 48

 

[Scorpus]

Adelaide by 36 - GWS no good away from home
Richmond by 3 - Geelong not that good at the MCG
Sydney by 56 - Essendon aren't nearly good enough
West Coast by 26 - Port have never beaten the Eagles at AO from three attempts

 

[PowerForGood]

Is that right, I thought the loser of the Crows v GWS plays the winner of Sydney v Essendon?

I thought the loser of 1v4 plays winner of 5v8?
Need to check.

 

[Scorpus]

Need to check.

This is correct.

 

[PowerForGood]

I wonder if WC are truly a 50-50 chance. History suggests so, but history also says that you can't rely on accurate goal kicking and goals against the run of play whilst getting beaten convincingly around the ground and inside 50's, like last time.

 

[SC26]

Adelaide by 35 points. Game over at 3 qtr time, but GWS shorten the Crows' lead. GWS play shit in Adelaide.
Geelong by 9 points. Richmond a great chance, but haven't beaten Geelong since 2006 I believe. If Richmond can win, they are a huge chance for the premiership. My secondary tip would be Richmond by 4 points, Geelong haven't lost a really close game while Richmond haven't won a really close game. Things can change.
Sydney by 26. I do feel that Essendon can get revenge for last time though. Game will be close until Sydney have a power surge to come away with the win.
West Coast by 16. Eagles are a dangerous side in Adelaide, haven't ever lost to Port at the Oval. Have only lost once here, an aberrational thrashing against the Crows in 2015. West Coast at Adelaide Oval = Collingwood at AAMI Stadium. Who knows, the Eagles could be cocky and cop it - or it could be the other way around.

 

[Mad_Hatter]

Adelaide vs. GWS 28pts 40K Adelaide too strong at home, GWS haven't learnt as yet to play as a team.
Geelong vs. Richmond 25pts 84k Geelong hasn't lost to Richmond at the MCG since 1999, it won't change this year.
Sydney vs. Essendon 18pts 22K For some reason I think Swans may falter a little in the finals. Have no idea why.
Port Adelaide vs. West Coast 8pts 33k Meh, who cares.

 

[ItsGameTime]

I will just pick my favourites from each match:

Adelaide vs Greater Western Sydney 14 points
Geelong vs Richmond 25 points
Sydney vs Essendon 43 points
Port Adelaide vs West Coast 12 points
