Both definitely are danger games especially the way both teams lost and the method in which WCE and GWS smashed their opposition. However, I am happy to go with Bris and Geel in close ones.
The lack of finals participation concerns me with Brisbane, the way they got owned on their home deck would've shot their confidence moving forward.
I agree, but I've written top 4 teams off before. My father in law is a Bris fan and I said to him that their style of football won't be good enough against a Richmond or Collingwood in a final. Hopefully they've learnt their lesson. But yeh, I'm worried about their hardness at the contest in finals footy too.
IF both teams get knocked out this week (Geel and Bris) it would have to be the first time ever that a team goes into the finals 1 & 2 and both get bundled out in straight sets.
