AFL Semi Finals Weekend 2016

[Rodney (Balls) Grinter 10,924]

In his press conference, Clarckson said that everyone at Hawthorn would be happy if they finished 18th if Jarryd Roughead got his health back (well that's all I recall of his presser before I fell asleep - literally).

I think everyone in the football world would be happy for both of these events to come true.

Why aren't GWS forced to play at ANZ like the Swans were? Soulless Stadium holds 24k, more than 24k will want to go. 

The top finishing team should have home ground advantage. The only reason for a ground change will be if there will be a huge amount of supporters missing out at spotless. 

Neither the dogs or GWS are large cores drawing teams. 

Spotless will remain and GWS have desereved this advantage

Dunkley played extremely well considering it was his 15th game and it was a final (against Hawthorn) -  reads the game well and looks a player. 

He could have gone to Sydney under the father/son rule (Josh is the son of Andrew Dunkley) but they passed when the Dogs bid on him.  The Dogs also previously picked up another son of a former top player (Liam Picken is the son of Billy Picken)

The Dogs recruiting has been first rate.  Simon Dalrymple has certainly made a name for himself.

If Dogs beat GWS they will have both teams in GF.

[Ethan Tremblay 31,164]

Adelaides mids unsighted so far.

I just hope the dogs beat gws. It would be a great gf if it was geelong/dogs. Or adelaide/ dogs. 

Come on crows get going. 

By the way funny how some clubs are lucky with there draft picks. In 2012 we get Toumpas with pick #4 the next year the dogs get Bontempelli with there pick 4.

Sydney v GW$ would be rather dull....

[Clintosaurus 7,891]

Strange game. Loving watching it though.

[deelete my account 1,194]

Thompson getting amongst it. 6 kicks at 40af. 1 goal. He tried kicking it long forward but it fell short to 40m Sydney player

If Sydney win they are a great chance to win the flag.

[Diamond_Jim 12,639]

The SCG is so small.

Thompson's first kick from the centre circle was nothing spectacular but it landed 15 metres inside the 50 metre arc.

Would be a good venue for a 12-14 a side game

I'll volunteer to work Grand Final day.

Tough game this one, injuries galore

Geelong in the Box Seat

[Ethan Tremblay 31,164]

I find watching games played at the SCG hard to watch, the ground is too short for AFL.

Geelong are sitting pretty

[TeamPlayedFine39 8,522]

11 seconds before halftime and he does his knee. Just terrible luck for a fella who's had his fair share already.

With these injuries if Isaac Smith kicked straight Hawthorn would be unbackable favourites for a 4th flag.

Who is that?

[dees189227 12,431]

Its now a boring game. Thought crows would be a lot closer and probably win. But Chris Scott would be loving these injuries. McVeigh is a massive loss. Geez the dogs and cats have big responsibilities next week. We cannot have a gws sydney GF. nightmare stuff. 

[Nasher 33,617]

It's a stark contrast for me compared to last night, I'm so disinterested that I can barely keep focused. Will give Adelaide the third quarter to pique my interest, but will turn off after that if they don't.

[daisycutter 29,795]

crows can be such a hot and cold team

Will be doing much the same Nasher. Unfortunately Adelaide don't look at all like they will get themselves back into it, a far cry from the Bulldogs effort last night.

I've already put a movie on. Genuine snoozefest.

The mind boggles what we have to look forward to in the GF. Sydney vs GWS a huge possibility.
