They have for most of the year. If they get their midfield going, they waltz past Brisbane IMV. Unless Cameron, Daniher, Bailey and Zorko go mad, I can't see how Brisbane kick a winning score.

Brisbane have been the highest scoring team this year! ย The seasons stats of Lions v Dogs would be a worry for dogs supporters.ย 

Contested possessions - Brisbane +7

Inside 50s - Brisbane +3.5

Scoring shots - Brisbane +1.7

Tackles - Brisbane +7

Clearances - Brisbane +1.4

ย 

If the doggies bring their pressure game it flows through into the rest of their game. The Lions and Port both have both through beating the easy teams but not getting the job done much against the better teams. The doggies have scalps against the good teams but just stopped dead right at the end of the season. They can still be quite damaging, their bigger issue is that I donโ€™t think they can win the flag without Bruce.ย 

Lions in straight sets is very possible.ย 

With Toby out I think the cats will get the job done, Iโ€™m just hoping that itโ€™s a super bruising encounter and they leave the cats limping into next week.ย 

Dogs are being seriously over-rated based on a win vs one of the weakest finals sides (an 11-11 Essendon whose late season form came from beating the bottom 5) in recent memory.

And they're on a six-day break against Brisbane's seven-day break, travelling interstate to play Brisbane at the Gabba, where the Lions haven't lost since Round 1 (10-game wining streak) and have won 29 of their last 34 games, and where the Dogs have lost 7 of their last 8.

I expect a Brisbane win.

I also expect a Geelong win, but if a side were to go out in straight sets it would be a side carrying 11 players over the age of 30 who haven't had a break in 3 months.

ย 

Tonights game what are we hoping for?

ย 

for me, Mummy to play his final game by running through and hurting all in sundry.ย 
ย 

maybe some soft tissue injuries.ย 
ย 

And a Close tough game.ย 
ย 

mods please merge if there is already a topic.ย ย

  • Rocknroll changed the title to Cats v Giants - who gets to play the dees?

I'd feel more confident against the giants. I'd be nervous facing geelong next week. But a tough game and some inhuries would help.ย 

But part of me would love to see geelong go out.ย 


Meggs has foreseen aย Cats win once Swans couldnโ€™t get the job done last week. ย No Greene or Green means the Giantsโ€™ chances are low. ย Have theย Dees ever met the Cats 3 times in a season and won all 3?

I know in '64 we beat them at Kardinia Park after beating them pre-season in Hawaii and San Francisco!

Letโ€™s hope itโ€™s a bloodbath ๐ŸฅŠ๐ŸฅŠ

ย 

Im not fearful of any side, but if they are sore and coming off a bone crunching game will make me happy.ย 
ย 

The greenโ€™s losses to big to cover. ย

Is your real name Jimmy?ย  The Jimmy?


With the prospect that Mumford might be playing his final AFL game (again) tonight lets hope for a bit of carnage on hisย way out.ย 

People talk about the Cats having a bad record in finals, but honestly it seems like the have a bad record against top 8 teams regardless of when it is, the generally seem to beat whoever at GMHBA stadium, and that gets them up the ladder, but their record against top 6 sides is really really poor for a team that consistently considered a premiership contender.ย 

any team that can turn up the heat on them outside of GMHBA is a very strong chance of winning


Hogan always injured. Will never play more than 15 games in a season.ย 

why would Phil davis be an emergency to replace Hogan? If davis was fit surely he'd come in and not because someone has pulled out injured.ย 

ย 

Hogan out?!?! Farrrrkkk

there goes the game. ย And Phil Davis? How long til he does his calf?

The guy is clearly soft tissue injury prone. What a shame. No way GWS can win this. They just lost 2 key forwards. How lucky are the cats.ย 


Letโ€™s hope for plenty of injuries tonight. Nothing serious,ย just a few hamstring or calf injuries.ย 

Carn the Giants. Make a game of it. Go in hard.ย 

worst case is an early big lead to Cats and then they cruise

Really feel for Jesse Hogan. Kicked 2 in his first final last week, would have been primed For tonight.ย 

ย 

Is it too much to ask forย hard, jarring and bruising game which goes into triple OT resulting in multiple suspensions.ย 

It's Friday night. The weekend is ahead and your footy team is safely into a Preliminary final. There's a game on tonight, two sides battling for the privilege of facing yours. You've had a hard week's work, and met a big deadline. You've just come home from a long run, and there's cold beer and warm chicken. You've just had a nice warm shower. Your playlist has shuffled its way through to "These Days" by Powderfinger.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking. ย We filled our boots with percentage โ€” now a whopping 520.7% โ€” and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourneโ€™s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย

    It's Game Day or has everyone given up. Maybe it is because a prime time Friday game is so rare ... double checks today is Friday ... Come on DL'ers support the team one last time for the year!
