There's a lot going on over the next week. Post all information and comments about NON MFC Week 2 of the finals here including Match Day chat of the 2 Semis. 

 

Shame we can't just stay in SA

Looking forward to watching the 4 other teams pummelling the poo out of each other next weekend while we kick back and recuperate. 

Hope the cats and giants beat the crap out of each other

Afl biggest worry is if covid hits wa from interstate . The more teams in perth  asap the better. I know port is set for home prelim and lions home semi  , things could change rapidly. Wouldnt surprise me  if Optus stadium booked for 2 matches next week and  2 matches prelim week  just in case

Hey mods, 'NON MFC' in the thread title is redundant. We aren't playing this week (and it feels so good!)... 😉

May all semi finals be hard slogs with lots of bodies being hit hard. 

Pretty pointless to put (NON MFC) in the title I would have thought Andy.

Mainly so that Demons news isn't posted here. 

If our boys stay healthy and on what I've seen this weekend we could be a just a Jeremy Cameron hamstring strain away from a flag.

And may they be shaken by lightning strikes, and beaten by aggressive bouncers.

Amen.

I think the dogs may win. Out of Geelong and GWS I think the cats unfortunately but I would rather play GWS in the prelim.

 

 

Channel 7 basically run the AFL. 

 

 

 

Cats obviously can’t afford to be that bad two weeks in a row, but...

R20 beat Roos but looked horribly shaky
R21 lost Giants and only won the last qtr
R22 beat Saints but lost first half
R23 lost Demons but only won one qtr, and gave up a 44 point lead to lose by 4 points. 
QF lost Port losing every qtr and only kicking 5 goals the entire game. 

It's a five week block of poor quality football by the Cats...'cept for that 15-minutes about which, we do not talk. Completely running against what we'd come to expect from them. 

There's no third chance, is there? 

Do they go with the same group?
Or bring in the big Fijian? 
 

All I hope for is two teams to beat the absolute [censored] out of each other, and turn up Fri week in a demoralised, battered state against us. 

think with their raft of green/e injuries and suspensions, plus likely cumming too, that the geelong geriatrics will be able to hold out gw$ who came to a shuddering halt in the last quarter versus the swans

expecting the bears to bounce back at home

you can be sure gws will make it a very hard and physical game

i hope they both knock themselves out

The Cats are a proud group. I expect them to beat GWS convincingly. 

Without McStay and Hipwood the Lions have little HF connection or marking power going forward.  Tag Cameron and they are struggling

I think the dogs have regained some form and will beat the Lions in a thriller.  Don't forget the Dogs were favourites for the flag a fair chunk of the year and are only really missing Bruce

Agree Cats.
I think Lions will beat the dogs. Dogs have no ruck, and a really fragile defence. I think the rain helped cover up those 2 major flaws.  If Lions halve clearances dogs are done. Daniher won’t be playing on Steven May this week, and Cameron is in great form.
