Which team do you think will win the flag?

[PerthBoy86]

Hawks lost bad to Geelong at Kardina Park but none of Sicily, Ginnivan and Dear played. Hawks were bullied on a ground where their run and spread was curtailed. Those three back in on the MCG would be fun - seems unlikely though.

Oh yeah I keep forgetting that. I don't see another 50 pt smashing. Think it'll be close or the Hawks run away with it.

They just need to deal with a wounded Port first. No excuses not to win big.

 

[Pistol Night]

Giants

 

[Monco Matt]

Coin toss between the Cats and Hawks which I think will be the GF.

At the MCG I think the Hawks run & spread will be too much to contain, it's not at the cattery. What a season it will turn out to be for the happy team.

 

[The King!]

GWS look likely

 

[BigVic]

1. Geelong
2. Sydney
3. Hawthorn

Only 3 teams can win it

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

1. Geelong
2. Sydney
3. Hawthorn

Only 3 teams can win it

I wouldn't be ruling out the Giants.

Imo, most likely one of Sydney, Geelong & GWS.

Can't see Sydney missing the grand final.

 

[Monco Matt]

Can't see Sydney missing the grand final.

Sydney need to get back to playing 4 qtrs which they haven't done for quite sometime. They most likely will come up against a rampant Hawks team in the PF that has been playing 4 qtrs for months.

 

[Chinacats]

Swans in box seat to make the GF. Would gain confidence from their last quarter blitz of the giants. Cats still have a tough prelim to navigate. Lions and GWS have two tough games to navigate for whoever wins this week. Swans no.1 seeds.

Sydney Vs GWS rematch.

GWS are still a massive chance IMO.

Kick straight early on Saturday and it may have been all over a lot earlier.

 

[MF]

Kick straight early on Saturday and it may have been all over a lot earlier.

Definitely. They really wasted some chances to put the game beyond our reach.

Also a couple of weeks to get Bedford back in and Coniglio's shoulder to heal and they'll be even better than the version we faced on Saturday.

 

[kickazz]

Not much love for Brisbane - I can see why, they have been flaky. But who hasn't this year?

Their best is amazing, I'm told their first Q on Saturday was the best footy by anyone all year, (though Carlton)

Kick away from doing it last year, so they can rise to the occasion. Just a couple of players in that team that I think are duds though.

 

[Corn Cobbers]

Giants to beat the Swans in a thrilling GF

 

[Billy ray]

what is this football in September?
is this normal?

 

[Pies No 1]

Sydney have the worst forward set up of all teams remaining in the finals. Joel Amarety will not win them a flag. I doubt they will win their next game.

Geelong had a pretty bog average tall forward line in 2007, still won the flag by a lot.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Geelong had a pretty bog average tall forward line in 2007, still won the flag by a lot.

Pies forward line was ordinary last year too.

People forget they averaged 9.6 goals per final. Still got it done.

Mooney got AA that year, some say a bit lucky but to be in the conversation ya gotta be good.
Nathan Ablett also a criminally underrated player

 

[raskolnikov]

I said before last weekend that I thought the winner of Sydney vs GWS would win. I'm sticking with that so Swans. Geelong looked ominous though.

 

[Freomaniac]

I still reckon the Giants have the best list to win it. They have no weaknesses across any line.
Have the best defender in the game, and the best forward in the game.
Bedford plays today, they win. He's back next week.

Before the finals series started, I said it heavily hinged on that port vs cats game.

Had Port won, I predicted a Port vs GWS or swans grand final.

But cats won, I think the cats will win the flag regardless who is on the other side.

 

[Freomaniac]

Giants

Nope it's gonna be one of the teams with the old farts in the squad. LoL

A team with the pensioners that chase you all over the ground with their dentures and walking sticks will be dangerous LoL.

So Geelong for me.

 

[GastevsBeard]

I think Geelong

The only team who would trouble them is GWS, and they have the benefit of playing them with a weeks rest

I think Geelong have a mental edge on Sydney, & I would be inclined to play Tomahawk even if he isn't fit just to compound upon that

 

[The Casey Cat]

Assuming we beat Port next week we still need to beat Sydney at the SCG in a prelim... not the easiest of tasks.

If we can get through that game, then playing the Cats at the MCG... what a GF that would be!

GWS just as hard to beat if they make it from our side of finals if not harder.

 

[The Casey Cat]

Who cares.

Ah yes. Been a quality year for you hasn't it? What was that about not worrying about Geelong as only 'paying attention to contenders'. Time to stfu and have a break you stupid, ignorant clown.

 

[flamethrower]

I've got GWS beating the Swans in a bloodbath Grand Final that will rival the Hawthorn v Essendon "line in the sand" match and the 1990 Collingwood Essendon GF.

It was close to exploding on Saturday, but with no next week in a Grand Final and no send off rule, pushes and shoves will become full on backyard brawls.
