Vote for the most likely match up and tell us why?

Dogs vs Bays with the Bays winning their 5th flag.

Also Dogs versus Bays, with hopefully the opposite result to Jimmy's prediction

Sturt to beat Norwood by a point after Chambo gets another charity decision a nanosecond before the siren sounds....

... and a 50 metre penalty because he trips over his shoelaces

Dogs to beat Bays Yawn. Obviously I hope the Grand Old Flag flies again.

NEITHER, Central DISTRICT will play Norwood. We will win by about 6 goals.

Where's the Central v Eagles option?

highly unlikely that they make the gf, but i'll add it for you if you like?

Would be only fair payback for 1984. Will Des Foster be umpiring?

Should be an "other option" in case Eagles, West or Sturt cause a surprise.

Might as well as add North into the equation then too if you're talking about surprises on that scale.

yes correct wedgie ... technically possible so should be included.

Accepted the possibility for each individually is low BUT group them as other and its a reasonable percentage.

According to the 2010 SANFL Season Guide ....
of the past 36 Elim Final winners, 11 have played in a grand final
thats 30%

For there to be a Glenelg Norwood GF then the dogs will either have to lose 2 of their next 3 matches and finish 2nd or go out of the finals in straight sets.

Consider in that calculation, that this has not occurred in the last ten years.
We have not had the Cinderella sides capture the imagine of the public like they did in the 80's and 90's. Perhaps this is because of the increased professionalism and focus on the mental attitude in footy these days of the top sides.

How can Sturt make the Grand Final from 6th ?
Even the umpires can't give them that ride !

Here are the current odds for the flag:

CENTRAL DISTRICT $2.00
NORWOOD $3.60
GLENELG $4.50
WOODVILLE WEST TORRENS $10.00
STURT $12.00
WEST ADELAIDE $31.00

CD V GL With a Glenelg win.

With all due respect to Norwood, surely the Bays are 2nd favourite for the flag behind the Dogs?
