NON-MFC: Finals Week 01

[Melbournepotter 381]

Dogs  v hawks will be interesting.  Our contested footy strategy was one that was supposed to stand up in finals. It will be interesting to see if the Hawks attack minded game holds up against the dogs.

The Hawks remind me a bit of the Demons of '87

They are riding the crest of a wave and if they can get past the Doggies, their probable SF opponent will be the Cats at the MCG

Port in Adelaide would be a lot tougher but Port are coming off a straight sets exit in last years finals campaign, so the pressure would be on them

I can see the Hawks winning at least 2 finals

If the Cats go out in straight sets (very possible) will they get the same heat after winning a flag as we did? No finals and straight sets is worse than 2x straight sets.

I think they've been playing extra time in regular finals for a while now or at least had the rules for it.

Not sure what the GF rules are.

Hope Port win tonight. Have no issue with them & I'm sure Ken would like to shut a few down.

Think Brisbane will easily beat Carlton. 

But tomorrow night will be great.  See how the younger hawks cope with finals pressure.

I have minimal interest in the finals this year.

But I hope Jee-long get bundled out in straight sets. I dislike Bris-bane too. And I'm not overly fond of Hawthorn. Come to think of it, I don't like Port either. 

That leaves the Dogs, Swans, GWS and Carlton. Actually I don't particularly like Carlton or Dogs either. 

So, that leaves the Swans and GWS. I probably have a slight preference for GWS ... they'll go crazy in western Sydney if they win. ("They'll" ... perhaps that should be singular?)

whoever loses tonight goes out in straight sets. whoever wins tomorrw makes a prelim in sydney.

whichever sydney team wins makes the grand final and probably wins the flag.

I never imagined I'd forgive GWS for the whole Scully saga, but it did lead to us getting Jesse, which led to May, and eventually, a premiership. I think that helped me move on from it.

Honestly, I'd be happy to see Jesse win a flag, and since I don’t know any GWS supporters, I’d be fine with them taking it too – no risk of dealing with anyone insufferable!

The rest can go in the bin. Go Giants.
