Title: Who would you like to play round 1 of the finals?
Post by: Golfprotiger on August 05, 2013, 08:35:24 AM
I would love to play Carlton and smash them, especially when they get in on default!!!!

If we make it  ;D  ;)

Dont' care as long as it's in Victoria

We need to finish either 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th for that to happen

Cannot afford to finish 8th

While we enjoy a great record at football park...the power do have a good record against Richmond in Melbourne .

Why ? I do not know.

All things being equal you would be licking your lips at the prospect of playing Port.

If by some miracle Essendon don't get their points striped I wouldn't mind playing them...limping to the finishing line as per usual.

Wouldn't like Poort at the 'G, they play well against us over here.

Go in underdogs against the Pies and smash them to pieces. A changing of the guard.

Port.
Would not want to play the pies. They have our measure and the star power to go all the way.

Is there any chance at all that our first final could be played at Etihad?? I had the question put to me and I have no idea :-\

if the ladder remained as it was now then no chance.

even if we played port in melbourne you'd think that even the AFL would recognise that we would draw far in excess of what docklands can hold.

I wouldn't feel to confident in the Tiges going against the Pies unless Grimes is back fit and firing. I don't think our defence can cope with the quality forward 50 entries Ball, Swan, Pendles, and Beams are capable of producing.

people were saying something similar about hawthorn too.

the defensive efforts of your midfielders plays a big role in the life of a backman

Only if all 4 finals were in Melbourne as you couldn't play two matches on the same day at the 'G. Other than that I believe there's no contractual agreement for a final having to be played at Etihad in the first week of the finals.

Even Richmond vs Port would draw close to 80k at the G

Port always seem to do well against us away from AAMI. We have not beaten them at the G since 1998. On the other hand a final against Collingwood would be tribal and intense and hopefully the the type of atmosphere we sample regularly over the next decade or so.

For me whoever we play we deserve to be there and all I want is a performance, performances worthy of our finals status.

if we play this game at etihad il punch that dictator in the nose.

Its suggested one of tigers or hawks may have to play week 1 at etihad. It was in the HUN but its pretty obvious that someone needs to play there, and it wont be Collingwood :banghead :banghead :banghead

If we make it   ;D we wont be palying at Etihad, AFL want crowds, big crowds, if we make it we guarantee them a massive crowd, Etihad isn't big enough  ;D

The AFL have proved that just because you draw big crowds doesnt mean your guaranteed to play at the G.

cant see the Dawks lay down and accept it, especially if they finish 1

Unless we finish 5th we wont be playing Port

Games for week 1 of finals

1 -v- 4 (Home Final)
2 -v- 3 (Home Final)
5 -v- 8 (Home Final)
6 -v- 7 (Home Final)

Based on ladder position at the end of round 20 games would be

Hawks -v- Freo (MCG)
Sydney -v- Geelong (ANZ Stadium)
Bombers -v- Port (etihad)
Pies -v- Tigers (MCG)

...just to be sure WP.  :P ;D


I think we do have a realistic chance of playing Port in the first final as our home game if we finish 5th. If this is the case then the AFL may feel we will draw a smaller crowd than the Hawks v Cats game and force us to play at Etihad.  :o
