lions looking better after 1/2 time. Have tigers lost their run?

Skill level is really poor by lions, but lady luck may have smiled with Prestia off.

even first, tigers a bit more composed in the pace of the game, but lions have settled at least.

Gee, what with the lions slipping, I thought we were the only one's that did that a lot. Tigers are looking good, can they sustain it?

I agree, the bye should be before the GF if they want one. Its all because of 1 coach years, who promptly lost the first final so it didn't work. But it won't happen until Gill is gone as its his baby, but he is leaving. playing straight up rewards those in the top 4. IN saying that, we have a process in our preparation to deal with it. As for out's, Dockers win over the big outs for them and the dogs. Lots of Freo supporters don't want Fyfe back and hopes he leaves. They have success without him with the rising kids, they dont see how he fits in anymore.

The lions question is how fragile they have become in finals, lost so many. I think the pies can get over the cats, the cats have had such an easy run and if the intensity is high enough may crack again. I dont expect Cameron to play. Though I reckon the Pie's are almost out of steam and still not make the GF. If they lose to the cats, I think they'll go out in straight sets. Dockers should beat dogs easily, but its meant to rain, so who know how they will play. I think our system is back in place, the swans only just beat us and earlier this year and we were not playing to our expected standard and had a few missing. We are following the same preparation pattern as last year, it works. Should be a good week of finals.

We always have close games in the "open" grounds, it'll be interesting how it'll be in the protected MCG. I went to the Optus game against Freo and we looked great in such an environment. (First team to crack 100 pts) The Ess and Hawks showed how conditions really affect the quality of girls games, more than the guys.

According to the "The West" today, Jackson agreed to terms months ago with Freo, though west coast are hopeful. They'll need to come up with a good deal, not sure how they will do it without offloading value players to us other for a draft pick. As for Ryder, great but too old. I'm sure the club can locate some developing ruckman or pinch on from another club.

They only lost 2. Interesting stats is against most teams we score around 40 odd points per game, Against Adelaide its about 17. They have a very strong defence, we need to crack that to win.

hopefully worse than our 150 was.

lets hope he breaks the big man's records...

So in theory could I use my Dee's barcodes to buy for a non-dee's game? or only the game we're in. Might test that out.

It wasn't in Perth last year, so I would say be prepared. also what I found out last year is that they open the queue really early, The PF tickets queue opened 30 minutes before the official ticket time, GF was the same, but 1 hour before hand.

Remember we tried to get him a few years ago.

I'm level for 3rd but behind on points diff. Bumbers are my wild card after the week they have had.

Good on Clarko, in no way would he go to bombers. Even for his reputation, its easier to look good and easier by bringing up the bottom side, like Roo's did with us. Whether they make finals within his contract is moot, he'll build a solid foundation and culture, as with appended with us. As for Rutten, He can't stay on how he's been treated by a separate club. The should do the right thing and pay him out, but not sack him. They obviously enough don't have any faith in him.

I like first crack and on the couch. Don't watch anything else.

following the carltank model :)

A high pressure finals type game. We held up just... Jake Melksham seems to have his mojo back with consecutive games and that great Maybe that dinner fight was what he needed, to be told blunt to get his game together :) We played good footy for 4 qtrs against a side applying high pressure the whole game, the blues didn't stop but we stood up and there were not fadeouts late int he game. Fwd line needs some marking power back and kicking straight.

Yeah tried that, I guess being a scratchy they have paid for film crews.

Is it online anywhere?

Going to be really ugly on the GC

Basically win the last 2. Short term goal. The smokey game is the swans v pies this week for top 4 positions. You'd think the swans will win being in Sydney, but the pies just seem to find a way to win each week. Then that leaves blues/pies epic final round for the blues to try and win a spot in the 8.

His knee is stuffed, hence he won't play another game this year (as reported) including the derby. Great last game from a champion forward.

Yes, it happens to all existing premiers, to anyone on top at the time. plus the hardest draw.
