Can Freo even play Swans/Bears in the prelim unless someone loses a game on the way there. Top 2 can’t meet until the grand final unless someone loses a qualifying final.
The loser swaps over into the other side of the Draw.
Whoever loses week 1, then wins week 2 will play freo in week 3
First Freo in Perth and then Geelong a real possibility in a semi.
Straight sets would be wonderful.
Sydney won’t beat Freo. Brisbane might but that would mean Sydney had beaten Brisbane.
Can’t see either happening.
That’s disappointing and thanks for the alert again. Lots of wriggle room to raise the bar.
Fark Hawthorn.
I don’t want to say I told you so….
So I will yell it
I TOLD YOU SO!
Wonder if Standers is having a few reds with the great man tonight watching his beloved Hawks get through to another Prelim ![]()
Is it time to post it @Stallion
Stander doesn’t even think that they’ve gone past us yet.

So they’ll likely have Adelaide at the MCG in two weeks time (Sydney stand no chance).
This is the worst outcome for the deathride.

I TOLD YOU SO!

when they make the GF, i will post stallions gif myself
there really isn’t that many very good sides in it
Geelong- yep they are still very good
Brisbane- yep, they are the best team in the comp
Bulldogs- they are good. But I don’t think they are anywhere near as good people think. They have very little depth. Soon as injuries hit, they are screwed
Freo- good team, but nowhere near the level of the top teams
Sydney- they are good, but if curnow and heeney don’t fire- they are cooked
Gold Coast are home bullies- they aren’t winning finals in melbourne come finals time
so i say again
CERTAINTIES!!!

The more I hate Hawthorn the better they do.
Very annoying
If they win a flag, would they even want Merrett?
Because the comp is set up for the best teams to get better.
They will get King for nothing, and Merrett for a pick they don’t need.
I’m shocked to be standing here with the Hawks in a home Prelim.
Stander told us they would regress this year ![]()
