Re: Finals Week 1

Who would the pies and dogs rather play in a pre-lim...saints or cats?

Any chance the game could be thrown tonight knowing the WINNER goes to Geelongs side of the draw?

Just rams home the importance of taking your chances.

When Geelong do it the didn't 'take their chances'.

When we do it, we're mentally soft.

I hear what you are saying, and I tend to agree.

Do people say that because Geelong have won the thing twice and we haven't?

Its always going to be the monkey on the back till we do it.

Re: Finals Week 1

They certainly did.

Against us in rd 20 they looked super quick, but in the first 2 & 1/2 qtrs last night it looked like they were playing in concrete boots. Just shows how important defensive intensity is as St.Kilda's was awesome thru this period.

It just proves that there was something seriously wrong with us physically that night.

I was not surprised that St Kilda won. The one sided odds of the 4 games are ridiculous. Finals are even money affairs, especially between top 4 teams who have had nothing to play for for the past month.

Re: Finals Week 1

Weren't we all meant to fear the dangerous Hawks? 1 goal in a half of footy?

Re: Finals Week 1

Does this vindicate Mark Harvey's desision, last time they played the Hawks, to rest his stars players ?

Re: Finals Week 1

Couldnt believe hawks started as out and out favourites. I thought this was an easy game to predict. Maybe the bookies were fooled by the Hawks 100+ demolition against a WAFL 22

Game over!!!

And watch the Dockers get killed next week against an angry cat line-up.

Re: Finals Week 1

I maybe bias, but I think Skipper has been the better of the 2 ruckmen for the Hawks. I wonder if he'll get a elevation next year.

May vindicate it next week too.

Can Freo beat the tired looking Cats?

Re: Finals Week 1

Probably a reflection on the poor Hawks ruck division with Silvagni doing some ruck work.
Hawthorn surprisingly didn't come out all gunsblazing and the game just turned into a normal home and away match. Mundy was excellent,the media get it wrong again with Hawthorn being the dangerous sleeper!
