    I would be amazed if any members that wanted to go couldn't get tickets. I doubt we have a significant number of Queensland members (plus other state members allowed and willing to travel). If there are 20,000 allowed it probably won't even sell out anyway.
    Current allowed is 15000, but they are looking at increasing this to 20,000

    Geelong has named the oldest team ever in an V/AFL game with an average age of 28 years 5mths or 161 games average.

    They have 11 players with over 150 games of experience.

    And they dropped Jack Steven who is a 30 year old with over 150 games experience.

    As much as we are all looking forward to week one of finals, will the games be that close?

    2020 home and away form

    Round 2 2020- Saints defeated Bulldogs - 14.4.88 to 7.7.49

    Round 8 2020 - Eagles defeated Pies - 18.3.111 to 6.9.45

    Round 10 2020 - Richmond defeated Brisbane - 12.10.82 to 4.17.41

    Round 12 2020 - Geelong defeated Power - 14.7.91 to 4.7.31

    I’d like to think we are in a totally different space than round 2. I’d also say that all of the teams on this list have fluctuated pretty heavily over the course of the season and it’s been about when you’ve played them.

    WC for example have gone from awful, to invincible, to flakey.

    Firstly, hopefully the pendulum has swung the right way at the moment for us. Secondly, hopefully the other games are tight and the other team belt suitcases out of each other.

    I think the Eagles will get a hold the Pies over there, but the other games are shaping up as genuine 50/50s.

    Wouldn't surprise me at all to see Port fall over tonight, though I was pretty impressed with how they absorbed pressure in their last round game against Collingwood. Power just.

    I think Richmond will just be too good and will get the job done.

    Us...well I'm hoping our big boys in the middle put the foot down on the throats of the inexperienced Saints and we ambush them in the first quarter.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    I'm thinking the Cats will struggle against Port. Their form has been average lately. Be watching that one with interest.

    Subject to any match committee master-strokes we're better equipped to the tune of Hunter, Wood, Cordy & Duryea in place of Gowers, Dale, Lloyd & Suckling last time we played this mob.

    That alone helps allay some nervousness.

    As to other results; suspect the Eagles demolish the Pies, the Power edge the Cats in a gruelling one and the Tigers send Brisbane our way in a heart-breaker.

    Have to feel a little sorry for Steven. He played in 1 final for St Kilda in 11 years (a loss in 2011, didn't get a game in 2009/10). Leaves the year the Saints finally return to finals and gets dropped by the Cats.

    Razor Ray most influential on the ground in the first half.

    Nothing would please me more than another choke by Geelong in finals. Keep it up Hawk.
