If that happens I reckon Brisbane v Collingwood would be a very interesting match up. I can see Brisbane winning that. If that happens do we really have to play them a third time? Geez, haven't we already proved we can beat them ;)

DS

Collingwood would be favourites at the G, but the Lions not without a chance.
 
If we had to play Brisbane again , their players would be thinking - no that isn’t fair

GWS are flakes. Good/bad on a particular day, who knows.

Brisbane are honest but inexperienced. Their tall forwards are a worry.

Geelong - meh. Even with Dangerfield they can't win consistently.

WCE - genuine threat. At their best can beat anyone, even us.

Collingwood - a threat, but less worried about them than the Eagles. I think we can hold them, especially without De Stoppy

It will be a Tiges/Pies 1980 GF reboot

Hardest match will be the next one versus West Coast. Have to negate Natanui & West Coast midfield. Best West Coast & we win the whole thing. If Stack is fit, has to play - most likely instead of Ellis

History is on the side from the top 4 that loses the first week, to bounce back week 2 ,

Happens more than the other way around, we will see I guess

Would much prefer to play Geelong in the Prelim but can't see them beating anyone, let alone WCE

the more I think about it, the more im prepared to stake my reputation (albeit for *smile*), on us playing Cats in the prelim.

I back us in against either but i'd love to knock the Cats out. Thier fans were giving it to some of us walking out of the ground after they belted our VFL side, they were carrying on like they'd won the bloody flag.
