Week 1 of Finals Tips and Crowd Expectations

[Rabman]

Once again Adelaide fans penalized for our consistency. Highly unlikely will get a sell out on thursday night, rubbish time slot, no opposition fans, 30% of fans from the country, plus families and people who work. Be lucky to be over 45k.

 

[Aramis]

Adelaide 98 def. GWS 77
Geelong 76 def. Richmond 60
Sydney 104 def. Essendon 76
Port Adelaide 88 def. West Coast 80

Not none exactly, but yeah weekend for minor premiers way better. Also a looong break and a week probably fairer.

You are playing a team with no fans it wouldn't matter when you play them

 

[samFFC]

Should be a quality first week. All are realistically 50/50 other than Syd v Ess and who knows?
The Bulldogs were probably the biggest underdogs in first week last year and look where they ended up.

Two finals at AO is great for those clubs.

GWS 6 points. Sell out.
Geelong 17 points. 95k.
Sydney 21 points. 40k.
Port 3 points. Sell out.

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

Richmond will get to wear the black shorts too, Geelong get the whites

It's amazing hey. On one hand the game is about the fans so we have to play at the MCG so everyone can watch yet they schedule a Thursday night game for TV purposes and Geelong on a Friday making it impossible for many cats fans from the other side of Geelong to get to a game.

I'm not sure if it's all about TV or the fans?

Geelong will be down by 10 goals half time and Scott sooking at umpires.

 

[Madtiger2006]

Crows by 50-52k
Tigers by 30-98k
Swans by 25-44k
Power by 15-52k

I think WCE Adelaide and Sydney will all win and I simply cannot imagine Richmond beating Geelong....we never do.

If Richmond stay with Geelong til three quarters time the MCG - it'll feel like a home game for Richmond - will be fevered and almost manic. Could inspire Richmond or could make them freeze. I fear it will be Geelong.

Pretty sure the Crows actually requested the Thursday night game

 

[Wolfgang West]

Maybe. You are our Achilles heel afterall.

lot of water to go under the bridge before either of us have to worry about it.
