Bring-Back-Powell 15,534 Posted September 8, 2024 Posted September 8, 2024 Hawks easily. GWS in a thriller over Brisbane. Quote
Hellaintabadplacetobe 4,335 Posted September 8, 2024 Posted September 8, 2024 Hawks and Giants. Would love a Swans v Giants GF and it is on the cards I reckon. 2 Quote
Palace Dees 2,421 Posted September 8, 2024 Posted September 8, 2024 Sorry to hear Sam Frost will miss the rest of the year through a stress fracture. Would have like him to have had the opportunity to play more finals. 6 Quote

John Demonic 5,988 Posted September 8, 2024 Posted September 8, 2024 Footy is mostly disappointing, so Port and Bris to win and be cannon fodder for Cats n Swans. Then Cats to beat Sydney by 5 goals. Boooo 1 1 Quote
DubDee 26,669 Posted September 8, 2024 Posted September 8, 2024 Cats v Swans GF would be the worst 4 Quote
dees189227 12,509 Posted September 8, 2024 Posted September 8, 2024 Did ed richards not get suspended for that hit? I don't think he did. Seriously he was lucky he didn't break a jaw. That could have been a sickening hit. You can't just hit someone like that. It's a strike. Anyway just hope gws and hawks win this week Quote
Demonstone 23,550 Posted September 10, 2024 Posted September 10, 2024 I'm so sick of hearing about Hawthorn and Hokball, I find myself in the unfamiliar position of hoping that Port Adelaide kick their smug brown and gold backsides this week. 5 Quote

deegirl 1,584 Posted September 11, 2024 Posted September 11, 2024 Hawthorn are in excellent form & will likely beat Port. That said any Melbourne supporter who says they’re happy to see Hawthorn playing finals should be locked in a cell for a week & made to watch the ‘87 prelim on repeat 1 1 Quote

Whispering_Jack 31,365 Posted September 12, 2024 Posted September 12, 2024 A noteworthy fact for those who think the Demons are finished as a footy team because they missed out on the finals this year with 11 wins. Of the four teams playing in semi final weekend • we defeated HokBall earlier this year 93 - 39 before it even existed as a thing; • we defeated Port Adelaide in Adelaide during Gather Round and lost to them by a mere 2 points late in the season; • we lost to the Giants by only 2 points at the MCG in the latter part of the season; and • we lost to the Lions by 5 points in Brizvegas after they received a controversial late free kick that resulted in a miracle goal from the boundary. Those three narrow defeats were all in the last half of the season when the team was wounded. Add CP5 to the lineup and who knows? We might have made the finals. Let’s also not forget that we were the first to beat the Cats, now in a preliminary final and we also lost to another finalist, Carlton, by a point in a game that could have gone either way. Still, I have to defer to that brilliant football strategist “No Diamond Left Joe” and that man who will never win a Pulitzer Prize for journalism who tell me the coach is no good. 4 1 1 Quote
leave it to deever 17,614 Posted September 13, 2024 Posted September 13, 2024 (edited) A very interesting scenario in betting odds tonight. Despite finishing second on the ladder, well above the Hawks and playing at home with a loud supporter base, Port Adelaide are not favorites to win on any betting site. And despite the Power's victory run in the last 6 home and away games, the Hawks seem very strong contenders with all the bookies. Will they bow out in straight sets like us? How much noise will there be. Losing 2 at home where the advantage is not the same at our Mcg is bigger news. In normal circumstances, it would be hard to resist backing Port but the Hawks ability to rapidly gain momentum and boot bags of five will most likely see them through. Plus I hate the Power as much as Hawthorn but I hate Port's toothless supporters even more. 😀 Enjoy the game. Ps. Sad that we smashed the Hawks earlier in the season and accounted for the Power at Adelaide Oval. Such a hard case to find a team to support in these finals. Probably the Johnny come lately in GWS. Go Giants. Edited September 13, 2024 by leave it to deever 1 Quote
