Week 1 - Finals

Football Discussion Non Essendon Stuff

Gale on the radio saying it's now Tiger time.

Oh the tears, when they get knocked over

Hardwick saying he hopes they get the win they deserve.
I’m definitely cheering for the Roos. If they win they’ll keep thinking they’re close and it will completely break Richmond I reckon

If Richmond lose you would imagine Hardwick will be gone. If that happens we might be fighting not just Adelaide for a coach.

Is Hardwick contracted for next year? I reckon he’d get another year, but he’ll be under huge pressure from the start.

You are probably right but I was under the impression he had to win a final this year?

Maybe he does. I’ve got no idea. I like Hardwick but I want to see them lose because the meltdown will be epic. Especially if they get flogged or lead and choke

44

Good to see Luke Beveridge has learnt from Matthew Knights and opted to play a recognised ruckman in an elimination final

No way. I dont think I’ll ever be a in a position to ‘cheer for the roos’.

46

I actually have nothing against the tigers, I like their footy, some of their players and coach and wish… but after listening to that fly KB on SEN

I can only hope they get bundled out

47

First year i don’t know or care who is playing finals.

48

As long as Hawthorn don’t win, give a toss either.

49

Its a tough contest, but I hate the Roos more than I hate the Tigers. Hence, go Tiges.

50

I will go for Eagles, Dockers, North, Dogs
want hawks to travel to perth twice plus they cant strengthen box hill side.
hate swans
would be funny for tigers to lose again in a final especially given north rested players last week
don’t mind crows or dogs, both good stories if they win this week.

51
franklin out, illness described as ongoing mental health concern

That 10 year contract is starting to look a poor decision. Swans out in straight sets.

starting to? It was highly questionable from the start, in more ways than one.
52

Hoping Crows and Roos get up. That will teach Peter Gordon for getting into bed with the AFL

53

Tips:

Eagles by 5 points.
Freo by 35 points.
Doggies by 12 points.
Richmond by 1 point in extra time.

The romance of the game means to mean that the 2 clubs in the finals with the longest premiership droughts in the competition this week. Heck I’d love it if those 2 clubs played off in the grand final. Melbourne would be abuzz!

That is exactly how I feel

55

They are expecting wild weather in Perth tonight. I hope it doesn’t play into Hawthorn’s hands. Want them to lose. Out in straight sets would be nice.
Dogs might suffer from nerves with their lack of finals experience. Hope not.
Tigers or Roos? Hate them both but some of those Tiger supporters are morons ( like all other supporters I suppose.). North are ordinary and fell into the final eight. Tigers should win, but it would be good theatre if they crashed out again.
Eagles over the Swans. For the first time I can remember over the past eight years or so, the Swans have suffered a few injuries on the eve of the finals. They have had a dream run, the lucky sods.
Eagles for the flag.

56

They are now saying that Priddis may not be playing due to injury.

57

Priddis huge out

58

If Priddis is out, not a chance Eagles win

59

Crows and Freo are the teams that ■■■■ me the least but really, anyone besides Hawthorn would be fine by me.

60

The dockers made 14 changes to their team, only 2 were forced? and the roos 10 changes?

man they really were taking the p1ss last week
