They smashed Richmond and beat Port away. A difficult team to stop when they get going. I think they've been fairly consistent given the circumstances.I think the way the competition is now just about any team can beat any other "on their day", what have St Kilda done that makes them any different?
beat richmond by 4 goals when a lot of teams were still finding their mojo post restart, and port actually seem to play away better than home sometimes. They also lost to north and freo and got smashed by collingwood, so I don't think they've been that consistent. I agree they have looked good but I don't think they've shown anything that suggests they're significantly any better chance than the other teams in that 2nd tier of teams competing for the flag yet.They smashed Richmond and beat Port away.

They've been the most reliable from an offensive perspective. They've kicked the most goals. Anyway, I don't think their chances are very high, hence why I called them the dark horse.beat richmond by 4 goals when a lot of teams were still finding their mojo post restart, and port actually seem to play away better than home sometimes.

You understand that if the GF was in Perth and it was a 60,000 full house, then the usual ticketing allocations would occur right? Based on previous years at the MCG and scaled for Optus:WC v Richmond would be brillant. If it's at the Gabba, Tigers win it, they seem to play the ground well. In Perth, Eagles win comfortably.

You understand that if the GF was in Perth and it was a 60,000 full house, then the usual ticketing allocations would occur right? Based on previous years at the MCG and scaled for Optus:
The split might be something like 20k Tigers, 30k Eagles, 10k Neutrals. The usual atmosphere of 55k+ Eagles would not apply - this affects the players, umpires etc. and turns the game from a cauldron into a far more neutral experience, as we see in every grand final. So I wouldn't be too confident given your greatest advantage (the crowd) is markedly reduced.
- Club members of both teams would get ~10,000 tickets
- Corporates would get up to ~18,000
- AFL members up to ~14,000
- Other clubs up to ~4000
- This doesn't include MCC members so maybe those would be given to Club Members as extras (approx. 2000 each)
Lastly, because of COVID, who knows if they would even be allowed to have a full house or have people come in. Let's wait and see.
we lost to north and freo cos we got ahead of ourselves, we were smashing them and then turned off. Definitely not a good trait to have but it's not an issue of ability, rather concentration. Hopefully we've resolved that. The collingwood game was the only one where we didn't show up. We were in an arm wrestle with a tough port for three quarters then hit another gear and blew them away. You can only beat who are put in front of you, but port are top of the ladder.beat richmond by 4 goals when a lot of teams were still finding their mojo post restart, and port actually seem to play away better than home sometimes.

On gameday Brisbane were $1.80 to Richmond's $2, not firm favourites but slightly so.Richmond did start as favourites. That's why I bet them at the line and not SU as underdogs![]()
Yeah. That's what I'm saying - the bookies (the people who are right) started Richmond as faves... anyway who caresOn gameday Brisbane were $1.80 to Richmond's $2, not firm favourites but slightly so.
Richmond were favourites earlier though.
For mine the contenders are Pies, Tigers, WCE and Cats. Port next in line. I think Brisbane are a tier below the very best.
Saints are in the same boat as Port for me. Having a great season, but I don't think they will win 3-4 consecutive finals against the mix of Collingwood, Richmond, Eagles, Brisbane, Geelong + whoever else they could face.They smashed Richmond and beat Port away.

Yep I agree. They can win a final or two, but I doubt they can win anymore.Saints are in the same boat as Port for me. Having a great season, but I don't think they will win 3-4 consecutive finals against the mix of Collingwood, Richmond, Eagles, Brisbane, Geelong + whoever else they could face.
