Re: Hawthorn and Bulldogs clash - Friday night

How does everyone think we will go in a night final at the MCG?

Actually when was the last time we played on Friday night at the 'G'?

Dont want to sound defeatist/negative, but just got to love how the AFL gives us a Friday night game @ the G (abeait its not our 'home' game) when we havent played one there all season...

I checked our games over the past ten years : http://stats.rleague.com/afl/teams/b.../allgames.html

and yes, the last time we played any game at the MCG on a friday night was the West Coast final on 3 September 1999 - lost by 5 points. Before that was against Essendon on 25 June 1999. We lost by 4 points

So what you're saying is put your money on Hawthorn by 6 points, right?

Hawthorn and Bulldogs clash

Mark Stevens | August 28

THE Hawthorn-Western Bulldogs qualifying final appears almost certain to be scheduled for Friday night.

Talk is mounting the AFL will schedule the game for the MCG to kick off the finals series. It would allow both clubs a six-day break.

If North Melbourne, as expected, defeats Port Adelaide on Saturday, Geelong awaits in the other qualifying final. It is strongly tipped the clubs will meet at the MCG on Saturday afternoon.

Telstra Dome will host a final if St Kilda beats Essendon and Adelaide loses to the Dogs. If results go that way, it is highly likely the Saturday night game will be St Kilda-Sydney at the Dome. If Adelaide beats the Dogs, the Crows will meet St Kilda at AAMI Stadium on Saturday night.

A Collingwood win against Fremantle tomorrow night will ensure the Magpies play at the MCG on the Sunday -- against either the Crows or the Swans.

EXPECTED FINALS DRAW

If Dogs beat Adelaide and other favourites win -

Friday night Hawthorn v Bulldogs (MCG)

Saturday Geelong v North Melbourne (MCG)

Saturday night St Kilda v Sydney (TD)

Sunday Collingwood v Adelaide (MCG)


If Adelaide beats Dogs and other favourites win:

Friday night Hawthorn v Bulldogs (MCG)

Saturday Geelong v North Melbourne (MCG)

Saturday night Adelaide v St Kilda (AAMI)

Sunday Collingwood v Sydney (MCG)

And the scenario if all the favourites don't win? Funny game football...Collingwood losing like that was really sad

We will smash Hawthorn, they won't know what hit them

Re: Hawthorn and Bulldogs clash - Friday night

Really like our chances against Hawthorn at the G, they're really not that flash there (loss to Richmond 2 weeks ago) and I reckon we play well on the larger open spaces we're two from two there and have won over (albeit) against Melbourne and Brisbane by 160 odd points. We like it there!
