I'd be very surprised and disappointed if we can't beat an undermanned Collingwood at our home ground in a final. But who knows?

The one I'd be least surprised about getting wrong is the Swans. I agree with Dutchy their form this year against the best sides has been ordinary. But they seem to be getting back on track the last few weeks and have the home ground and a couple of key players back.


but the roos form against teams below them has not been real flash eg the power game

Dogs - throw a spanner in the works :D

Roos - one last upset, they'll claim the 'shinboner' myth is alive and well then get walloped next week. :roll:
Cats - St Kilda have no right to be in a finals series - EVER :lol: .

I know I'll get bagged about being chokers for this, but 33,000 Port fans were very surprised in 2002 when an undermanned Collingwood beat us at home in a qualifying final there was no excuse for losing:

Port Adelaide 14.11 (95) Collingwood 16.12 (108) Football Park 33,131 Friday, 6 September 2002

Collingwood play AAMI very well. Don't be surprised if they do it, just be angry like I was in 2002, then 2003 and also 2001. :evil: :oops:

Booney wrote:Hawks V Dogs - Hawthorn forwards too tall and too damaging for the Bulldogs to match,although I expect a high scoring game here.Winning form into finals is good form andf the Bullies dont have any,the Hawks do.Hawks by 24 in a good one.

Crows V Pies - As bad as Collingwood are travelling I cant see Adelaide scoring enough to win,although most people have said that about them most weeks this year.Porplyzia is a loss and Cloke V Bock may determine the outcome of the match.Cloke very important and 3 or more goals and 10 marks from him might see Collingwood get over the line at a ground they usually play well at.Collingwood in a low scoring game by 13 points.

Swans V Roos - Neither side travelling well and the Roos playing on the slippery and unfamiliar ANZ.I think the Roos have more scoring options,the Swans are a tough side to score against though.I wonder if the Roos are going to 'tunnel' their way onto the ground? :wink:
Swans by 20.

Cats V Saints - Cats are just building nicely for the last 3 games of the year and the Saints will still be flying from last weeks big win and the stealing of 4th spot.This one will be a cracker and I think 20+ from both teams is a possibility,but,I cant see anyone beating the Cats in the next month and although the Saints will battle hard I think the Cats by 45.
