Who will face Central in the GF.

Best of luck to both teams in the annual "Who Plays Centrals?" game.

I think Sturt will play the dogs. Just a bit more experience and class. The bays struggled under the pressure today I thought.

I'm sorry to say this for Tigers supporters... but I honestly think Sturt will win next week... I thought the Tigers just didn't attack the ball or the body enough today, just looked like a finals newbie.

I can Sturt being fired up after such a good win today and going on with it to challenge the Dogs again... I'll put my football credibility on the line, well what there is of it and pick Sturt by 21-30.

Glenelg are 1-7 in finals since 1992

Sturt are 2-6 since 2002

Sturt easy as I have posted many times this year, Bays freeze when it comes to finals

With such a superior record we must surely go in as hot, hot favourites...

I reckon you're on the mark, in all respects.

ST...

Twice an many wins cant go against the stats

Would rather have seen the bays go down in a close one today cos now there are going to come out fireing next week

This is a do or die battle.

No tomorrow.

Both teams will throw everything at each other.

Sturt 16.22.118
Glenelg 12.9.81

Sorry Bays Fans....

Sturt will go thru IMO, hope Im wrong but we have to turn things around big time to make this a contest....Sturt are still looking good for the flag....

Sturt will take on The Dogs in the GF. I can't see the Bays recovering from that debacle.

The Dogs will win by 10 goals with Gowans ( 1, 2 or both ) being reported late in the 4th, will get 8 games, reduced to 2.

Then the same the year after

Sturt for me

Too early to call for mine. Will depend a bit on whether Sherwood is fit enough to play. I think Glenelg certainly missed him today.

Sturt for me from what I saw today.

Glenelg will do a South Adelaide of 1991....out in straight sets!!!

Would rather see it being a close game and a Gowans give away a free and 50m in the last 30 seconds and hand Sturt (or Glenelg) the flag! How sweet would that be?

Geez, I'm surprised by the lack of optimism shown by the Bays (un)faithful...

Having said that I was feeling down in the dumps after last weeks game. I predict that by Wednesday or Thursday you'll all start feeling more positive...

I predict that it will be a great and close game...

Sturt, particularly with Michael Coad back in the team, look very strong and have a fair degree of flexibility. Pat Fittock and Coad can go back or forward, the defence looks very strong with Wark back and in form and Perrie's game today was his best for a while. C'mon Blues, win this weekend and you'll have a very good shot at a flag.

How's Rudolph? Was he out cold? Will he play this week?

I would imagine that whoever does lose next weekend will consider 2008 a wasted year and the premiership that got away. Would I be right?

Agreed.
