Can handle GWS and St. Failure going ok in the finals but can’t stand the rest. Pity the two are playing each other.

Unless it’s a furphy, massive call by McRae to dump Noble. Wonder how that’s gonna be received by the group ? Was giving them the edge before that. Not so sure now. Will wait for the very final teams 30 mins out…..

Either way it's him or Drugivan as possible sub, so one's gonna be definitely out. What's sh!tting me now is Oleg all of a sudden a
best 22 for them. FMD. Too many Richmond freebies in this league.

Maggots to win this week but lose the PF

Lions over Port

Giants over Aints

Blues over Swans

I'm tipping a Lions v Port GF. Port could win that at the G

How good would it be to see 106k pies members be disappointed again. Maybe I’d like to see The Big Big Sound to get through… well I don’t care.

Dees
Blues
Gws
Port

For me. Port have a good record at the gabba and i reckon JHF is going to explode in finals and augment the butters- rozee - rioli star power

Dees v Port GF

If Lions lose Ezy, old man Fagan will need to look at how to apply for the Aged Pension. He cannot afford to not make the big dance.

Same, GWS play a great brand, Kingsley is a richmond man, Toby is the closest thi9ng to dusty left playing and the Saints are inoffensive.

At least one of them will get through to week 2.

Couldn't stand Lions/Blues/Port winning the big dance.

Agree MD.

Waiting’s tips for 1st week of finals
——————————————————-

Melbourne ( difficult to say )

Blues ( again tough to mutter )

GWS ( Kingsley factor but I could see Ross the boss trying to choke the living suitcases out of them. Saints have a game that’s ok at the G)

This one. Well.

Lions but PA have the ability in the midfield to cause a boil over, but the Lions do have a better small forward set up and then there is the crowd factor. To silence them PA will need to come out in the first and take it up to the Lions with ferocious intensity.

Irrespective of who wins tonight, it will be a Collingwood v Melbourne GF.

People will probably think I am nuts because Brisbane are undefeated at home all season. But both Brisbane and Port Adelaide have shown they are not up to it when it counts in September.

Someone asked me if carlscum and feralwood met in the granny, who would you want to win. I replied that’s like asking me if I had to cut off my right nut or cut off my left nut with a rusty knife, which one would I choose :unsure:

Interesting to see if Noble dropped was actually a bluff by Fly to distort Melbourne.

I just see more firepower in Port.

JHF - Butters - Rozee - Rioli - Allir

Beats

Neale - Andrews - Daniher - Cameron

Although big Oscar is a warhorse.

I feel like brisbane have over-acheived a bit and in the past, theyve had a mindset that The Gabba will get them to the GF.

Port will have a real trench war mentality and have their eye firmly on an Adelaide prelim

I know im in a minority on this one.
