This year it giveth a 4K 65inch tv.

But yes.....sometimes years I don't get any gifts.

Very nice!

A long time ago, I won so much on Let's Elope, I put a deposit down on my first unit!

RIP Let's Elope.

 

I don't really care who wins.  I don't have a second team, although I lean to Sydney with the Xavs connection. 

Buddy will run rampant and Dogs struggle to find goal-kickers.

Sydney by 28.

If the Dogs win it will be an incredible effort coming from 7th with a team that is ordinary on paper.

Clayton Oliver our sprinter in GF sprint. Hunt and other quicks must be away on holiday or Clayton wanted free ticket to the game. 

Can't be correct.  Some poster was trying to tell me that Oliver had average pace for an inside mid.

Was all over the Dogs to go all the way before last weekend, but the ease of Swans dispatch of Geelong and the emotional rollercoaster of the Dogs last gasp over Giants points to a blowout today. Swans in a second half canter. 

That's my view too.  It wouldn't surprise me if the Dogs are flat and disappointing today, the hype has been through the roof.  Swans are old hands at this. 

Would be happy to be wrong.

WTF is Dermott talking about. 


I predict a close low scoring game much like last saturday at Sydney. I will give it just to the Bulldogs. They have beaten 3 sides against all expectations with the same formula whilst  Sydney look vulnerable against pressure. They were lucky they had Geelong last week  who were exposed as soft track bullies.

I think the Swans will smash them. 10 goals or thereabouts. 

Buddy will dominate  

I don't really care who wins though, just hope it's a closer game than I've predicted.

Not forgetting he might have trouble curbing his instinct to mow the other runners down with bone crunching tackles. 

 

Along with many, I would love to see the Doggies win after years in the success-wilderness. But the soppy, midday telemovie Bulldogs hype, and the absence of any genuine reporting on the Swannies over GF week in Victoria, are beginning to make me lean towards the Swannies.

I reckon the Swans in front by 25 points at quarter time, the Dogs come back to within a goal by 3/4 time, then the Swannies to win by 30. Rampey for Norm Smith, Swans small forwards to be the main influence in their win.

I think we'll know a lot by quarter time. 

With their more defensive playing style this year I think the dogs will enjoy the rain. They have only lost one game by over 25 points this year and have won the last two against Sydney - both up there.

Obviously it's hard to go past Sydney but if the dogs are in it after quarter time I think momentum could do a lot for them.


Being a born and breed Son of the West I hope like hell they win. If they do win it's a win for all the dreamers out there. Of course If Sydney win it's a win for all the Accountants, Player Managers, Marketing gurus and Economic Rationalists out there. I know which I'd rather be. 

I was watching Mike Brady on Channel 7 earlier,he needs to get some new material.

Leave Mike alone! :lol: He is a National Treasure! ?

Bernie came bloody close in the Longest Kick. Nearly 70m but Gibbs kicked 73. :(

He was a bit dusty, seems Tex and Bern hit the town! :D

Sydney for me. Hopefully by one of 21, 57 or 81 as any of these will win me $250. Media fapping about the Bulldogs has made me sick. Hoping to see Luke Darcy looking like a smashed crab sometime after 5.

The Xav connection with Sydney means I will be going for the Bulldogs.

Jobe was Xavier educated wasn't he?

Who teaches the morals and ethics there. Surely not priests?

Completely agree - Neil Crompton. 1964. Fairy tale finish.

would be nice to see something resembling that finish today.

Haha you would be the 1 person in Australia who take the GF sprint seriously...

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
