The former ridiculously early but now official finals thread

Geelong have been playing against witches hats the past two weeks ...who knows if that's a blessing or a curse  ??

Relax, it's like knowing you have a new job but have to keep turning up for another 4 weeks. You want to try your best but CBF'ed because a better job (finals) awaits.

The Dees are flogging the Giants so the AFL will get its dream first week of finals.

Rich vs Haw ..... full house at the MCG
WC vs Coll ...... full house in Perth
Melb vs Geel .... all the Demon fans will cancel their Mt Buller passes, turn their range rovers around, rock up
                        with their thermoses and blankets for their first final in 12 years causing a sellout of cheese platters
                        in the MCC members. Geelong fans will sook about playing another final at the G.
Sydney derby @ the SCG.

If we win the QF, we play the SF winner of (WC/Coll loser) vs (Syd/GWS winner) in a PF.

If we lose the QF, we play the EF winner of Melb vs Geel in a SF.

Love the thread name change, unsure how we will go in finals.
Felt supremely confident all year, but our opponents do not seem to be interested in laying down.

Will be heart poundingly edge of the seat, shaking all over, exciting, nail biting, eye closing final series.

Can't wait!!!

We should win easily. I’m predicting 7 goals minimum.

I liked it better when we were smashing teams in the last. Hopefully we do this to the Dawks and bring them back to reality.
