Who would you like to play round 1 of the finals?

[Hellenic Tiger]

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 have a stinker you will see plenty of performances right here on OER

Whatever happens we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

[Francois Jackson]

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

13, 13, 13, 13, 13

If we make it    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 

[Francois Jackson]

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

[gerkin greg]

Hawks or Cats will play Dome

[Stripes]

Hawks or Cats will play Dome

Not if we are playing Port 

[gerkin greg]

Hawks or Cats will play Dome

Not if we are playing Port 

won't matter who we are playing

[WilliamPowell]

Not if we are playing Port 

won't matter who we are playing

Exactly Mr Gerkin

if we make it of course 

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)

[Stripes]

nope, magic number not reached it's....

13, 13, 13, 13, 13

 

 

Why stop at 13, I think the magic number should be....

14, 14, 14, 14, 14

...just to be sure WP. 


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.
