Week 2 Finals Tips and Crowd Expectations

Remove this Banner Ad

Funny how the swans rate themselves, but not the blues even though we put them down twice this year.

Anyway

Hawks by plenty, swans have the pox at the G

Blues by 20ish. Such a different team from when we lost in Melbourne and no one is taking it into account.

What's one got to do with the other? Sydney is playing a couple of hours down the road in Melbourne, while the Blues have to travel all the way across the other side of the country to beat the Eagles.

Anyway,

Hawks by 4pts
Eagles by 18pts

Got feeling sydney will squeeze a cheeky one by around 12 pts. 72k

West coast to rape carlton and rattan to be under the pump. Once again. 42 pts. Sell out
 
Hawks will own Sydney at MCG, even without buddy - 6 goal margin. 70k


WCE v CARL

14.9.93 13.15.93


Extra Time: First Half

Naitanui taps to Shuey, runs past two defenders and breaks Judd tackle, kicks from 40 out, goal.

Murphy wins clearance, gives to Judd, kicks off a step from 50 out, goal.

Bounce, Priddis wins clearance, throws it on the boot, lands in front of LeCras 20m out HF pocket, collects, weaves around 3 defenders but concedes ground, dribbles it from the boundary line 35m from goal, open goal square, bounces 19 times before squeezing through for a goal.

Bounce, Hampson wins a rare tap, falls beautifully for Murphy who finds space after swerving past two Eagles, runs to the wing, kicks to Judd all on his own 40m out from goal left pocket, plays on, lovely weighted kick searing towards goal, hits the post.

Stoppage footy for remainder of half, Eagles by 5.

Extra Time: Second Half

Brutal, desperate contest, 15 tackles laid by each side in scoreless first 3 minutes, ball enters Carlton forward fifty, Hurn leaps onto Garlett's shoulders and takes the mark, plays on and boots it 60m out of defensive 50. Garlett subbed out with concussion.

Only 1 minute left in the game. Crumb, 40m out from Eagles goal, mass of 20 players around the ball, Judd swoops, handpass to Simpson, handpass to Murphy, handpass to Scotland, handpass to Yarran, elegant play by the Blues, starts a 30m dash out of defensive half, one bounce, two bounces, three bounces, Yarran run down by Selwood, holding the ball.

Selwood kicks to Embley but is brilliantly intercepted by Betts 40m out from Blues goal, kicks to Setanta who marks 20m out directly in front, triple fist pumps after taking the mark. Siren sounds. Setanta lines up, kicks out on the full.

Eagles win by 5 in front of sell-out crowd.

Then belted by Geelong by 80 pts in the prelim.

:D

At the end of the day, it all matters in the finals, we beat Geelong, but look where they are at now, in a Prelim, just remember, you only get ratings once you are worthy of it, beating Essendon who limped into the finals with half a side, beat the Eagles in Perth, then the Cats, the win the flag, then you might get the rating......

PS: Talking overall crap ;)
 
Sydney by 5, 55k
Westcoast by 40, Sellout

Reckon both games will be won for the same reasons.
- Injuries
- Tall forwards against undersized back men
- Quality ruckmen dominanting
- Lack of forward targets on losers side
 
Hawks will own Sydney at MCG, even without buddy - 6 goal margin. 70k

:D

If it is a draw at the end of extra time, I wouldn't be suprised in the slightest to see Carlton be the far least accurate team in the scoreline.

There is no need to put your tips in this week as these two games have obviously been postponed as they haven't been in the news at all this morning..........

Beats me why the AFL would schedule a bye in Week 2 of the Finals. I doubt they'll make this mistake twice.
