2019 AFL Finals Series

Re: 2019 AFL Finals Series

Interestingly I called Geelong and Brisbane about fifth and sixth best leading into the last round of the home and away season. That leaves GWS, Richmond, Collingwood and WCE as possibly better. Might be right, however, on form I rated us better than GWS so am definitely wrong as well!

Hindsight is a wonderful thing but GWS could not move from 6th in the last 3 weeks of the season and rested injured players in readiness for an assault on finals. We all read too much into their hammerings against us and the Hawks- they are still very much an elite collection of talented players, most of whom are in their prime.

Rather hoping Mitch Robinson's pronounced fit to play ... punch Neale in the guts behind play and see what ensues.

Re: 2019 AFL Finals Series

Jesus I hate Geelong. The sense of entitlement is completely out of control with these pricks and the media facilitates their mollycoddling.

We play at Docklands and rarely at the MCG, but nobody would go into bat for us to get more favourable conditions to be competitive in finals.

I hope they go out in straight sets more than anything else, that's what the finals are for me now.

Yeah GWS felt primed for finals with all their players back and in decent nick. The experience showed too IMO. I think they have more than a chance against Brisbane

I know how you feel. It got to the stage with me where I just wished Ill Will on the other 17 participants.

That's all I wanted to say. There isn't an epiphany to this story, I just hate everyone.

I thought that THIS year.

Just because they're physically "in" them doesn't mean they haven't missed them too.

By far the most entertaining part of the evening is watching Scott and Selwood sook it up.

Bruce is such a creep show.

Re: 2019 AFL Finals Series

Why doesn't the blood rule apply to Selwood?

Ridiculous he can run around the field with dried blood all over his face

Why would he punch Neale? They are on the same team!

If Brisbane players come to Lachie's defence and there is an 'all-in' brawl that ONLY includes members of one team, what exactly will the umpires do? Do they break it up? Do they let play go on? And if the latter, what do they do after the Giants kick a goal? Do they penalise the Lions for a 6-6-6 infraction or do they issue a warning and have to simply 'wait' until order is restored???
