Week 4 (The one where we win the whole F*cking thing) 

Grand Final will be held at Optus Stadium.

A heavyweight title fight between the best 2 teams of the home and away season.

After a tough 3 quarters where both sides have momentum but can't take advantage, I have the Dees in front at 3/4 time by 4 points. The lead won't blow out to more than 12 points for either side during the game.

Our superior fitness will see us push out to a 24 point lead with 7 minutes to play.

Port will kick a goal to bring it back to 18 points with 6 minutes to go.

A steadier from Ben Brown will take the margin back out to 24 with 4 and a half to play.

The "built for finals" gameplan will see us run the clock down with stoppage after stoppage for a 23 point win.

Could you be more specific, please?

i have a horrible feeling this thread is going to coax Dr D out of the woodwork to produce yet another factual prediction of doom and gloom. I believe his last one, based on his ability to know more about football than any other numbskull on demonland, had us dropping from 1st to finish 5th and feeling grateful to be in the 8 at all. My skills as a budding Nostrodamus have Dr D predicting we exit the finals in straight sets 😜

 

Where has DR d gone, he did  boasted so much, was so sure of himself, we won't see him again, not a Melbourne supporter

Quite apart from an MFC flag, the greatest delight I’d derive from this is seeing Essendon out week 1 and Geelong out in week 2 in straight sets. Kcfu those guys.

Its hard to see cats go out in straight sets as much as I would enjoy it.

I think your on the money with Port at home in hot form to take them out. But given their forward line I get the feeling we may see them again.

But who knows, outside of the Dons all of these teams are dangerously talented so it will be one hell of a finals series.

Good effort.

I think your'e on the money here Rev.

Port are not in Lions class.

Cats are gone

Sydney well coached enough  and Longmire will get them to a prelim. But May has Buddys measiure so its over them for them.

May has Danihers measure, so over for them to in GF.

Ah, now I get it.  Thanks. 😀

FWIW, the TAB betting on the Norm Smith Has six out of the top seven coming from Melbourne or Geelong – I guess the money thinks it will be in Melbourne V Geelong grand final.

Justin Longmuir is tipping either Geelong or Brisbane as premiers. 

that means he thinks they'll either both win or both lose this weekend, otherwise it's an impossibility

[leave it to deever 17,517]

Port going in on winning streak will be tough.

We have done well to win our last four unlike cats and dogs.

This will be a red hot finals series.

Lions kicking some high scores will come up against a solid defence but our forwards especially Tmac will have to lift a lot.

Not too worried about the dons who make up the numbers but all seven others are great teams this year especially the Swans. 

Gws and dogs we have an equal record.

I tipped Geelong and Sydney, as well as Melbourne.

Sorry everyone!

[WERRIDEE 5,502]

Well I'll go one week at a time and I predicted Geelong to win and lost but predicted GWS to win. Tipping Melbourne tonight and Essendon tomorrow.
