2012 AFL Finals

[bloods08]

Yeah all finals are live on 7

awesome... i'm thinking bout goin to the game, but i don't no if i can handle, the crowd yelling 'BALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL' everytime someone is touched, or when the ball hits the ground, or quarter time... well you get my point...

Well I guess you will never be going to another football game ever (AFL or otherwise) as it happens everywhere.

i've been to ALOT of footy games, but they seem to do it ALOT worse then anywhere....

Crows fans can be bad (and I have had my fair share of arguments with some), but all teams supporters are the same.

North Melbourne had an easier draw than the crows and you don't hear people saying they only made the 8 because of the draw.

No they didn't & Yeah you do. North never played in the same state 2 weeks running until round 13.
No other team cops that.

Um................................... West Coast, Fremantle, Brisbane, Sydney, Adelaide, Port Adelaide, GWS and Gold Coast say Hi.

Um really??? Check the fixture.......

Not having a go but how many of those games were North's choice by playing in Tassie?
North need to play all their home games in Melbourne

i love it how some people think its cool to barrack against SA teams in their own state...
others i know, support Crows or Power as their second side, these supporters are just less vocal about it.

Simply it is a club competition not a state competition. If the Western Bulldogs relocated to Adelaide does that mean we are to support them also???

Did i ever say you should support crows or power?I understand its a club based competition. You missed the point.

Totally understand where you're coming from, maybe the tassie games could have been scheduled a tad more favourably when doing the draw ie: later in the year.
As for playing all games in Melb, that would be ideal (but not currently financially ideal). Future Ballarat games still on the table.

Maybe you're just a bit more sensitive to it.
As mentioned before, all crowds do it and they're more prone to do it if the umpiring has been a bit dodgey re holding the ball.
If that's what stops you going to the footy then that's pretty limp.

Out of the bottom 10 Teams North played Essendon twice, Western Bulldogs twice, Gold Coast twice & GWS twice. That's a better draw than the crows and if they sell their second from three home games to start off the season to another state then you can't complain about traveling. They also played 14 out of 23 games in Melbourne. Damn cop that poor North Melbourne...

If you look at the draw the Crows and Roos both had 10 games against the bottom 7 sides.

Adelaide played GC, GWS and Port twice each, WB, BL, Rich and Melb once each.

Roos played GC, WB and GWS twice, PA, BL, Melb and Rich once each.

Adelaide played 10 games against teams in the top 8 (Syd, Geel and Freo twice, everyone else once, while the Roos only played 8 (West Coast twice, everyone else once)

Thats a pretty even draw, so I dont think people could whinge about either team having a better draw. The only way you could make it any more even is if they were identical, which is impossible. Especially with 18 teams playing 23 rounds...

My point was more that yes the Crows had a good draw but you still have to win the games. I don't think anyone is giving the crows credit for making 2nd on the ladder, it's all just because they had a good draw. Other teams had just as good draws but didn't finish as high.

Not argueing the point the crows did have a good draw BUT if the likes of the big melbourne clubs demand 2 games each against each other ie. coll v ess , carlton v rich etc. etc and then the interstate derbys / showdowns then the crows have to play agsinst some one dont they its not the crows fault that most of those teams were around the mark at some stage this year .

I really think Freo can beat Geelong, they are in great form and play tough contested footy and think they will beat Geelong in this area and go along way towards winning the game.
The fav's will win the other 3

[Spargo]

I really think Freo can beat Geelong

You desperately hope....
