Finals Week 3 Matches

[Rik E Boy]

I'm looking forward to the premiership decider on Friday night

Well at least most of the media has dubbed it that...

If I was a Saint that would piss me off as well. I reckon the Saints are in the box seat for the flag. You guys have the same hunger we did last year. I reckon Collingwood aren't good enough and the Cats simply don't have the hunger.

Not really pissed off about it. The other two teams can have all the limelight this week. If St K are good enough to go all the way, respect will be earnt.

The media just annoy me saintal and not just the sporting media either.

Question...

Most have considered it a given that the Bulldogs will fold ingloriously this weekend, allowing the Saints (who are a genuine threat) to default into the GF.

Now Saint fans, don't get aggro.... When I say "default" I mean that Geel/Coll is obviously going to be an unreal belter performance, and most consider your prelim will be a fizzer, although as a side, you ARE right up there with GEEL and COLL.

My left field question is... What exactly can the Bulldogs do to win? Is there anything they can do?

the bullies can throw everything into the first half to lead at half time and then start a scoreboard fire or ring up and mention a bag, so they call off remainder of game.

They can bring ina player who just goes around thugging blokes like riewoldt, hayes, montagna, kosi etc

Collingwood favs with the bookies, if odds stay the same it'll be the first time in something like 60 games that Geelong haven't started a game favourite.
Last time was against Port at Footy Pk in 2007, I made a killing that day and a comfortable one at that as the Cats won by 56pts!

Geelong v Collingwood is THE game of the year- there other Prelim Final was a cracker, let's hope we see a classic contest.

Agreed. Bigger than the match-up in the GF IMO.

How many goals does Hall need to kick to win the game? I heard James Hird say last night that 6-8 is around the mark, but I think if they can get three out of Murphy, and maybe three out of Johnson, then five should do from the big fellow.

And of course Lake needs to own Kosi...

For the Bulldogs to win which I think is unlikely, I reckon Hall will need to kick 6-7+. Lake will smash Cossi easy and Riewoldt will tear it apart on Williams IMO.

Morris will take Kosi and Lake to St. Nick... Williams may not fit back there...

Hall will own Dawson, and we need 2-3 each from Gia, Johno, Griffin...

according to afl.com.au Gilbee is HF and Murphy is HB... I would have swapped the two but i'm not the coach...

I can see the Saints getting up but here's hoping!!!
