Round 23 General Chat

[daysofourlives]

Was mentioned on SEN that the AFL has done a tempory finals draw already.
Looks like:
Fri N @ MCG - Hawks v Cats
Sat @ ANZ - Swans v Freo
Sat N @ MCG - Nth v Ess
Sun @ AO - Port v ??
Obviously this could still change but the Swans game and the Hawks/Cats are locked at those time slots. The other 2 games may swap depending on results this weekend

I know the above is only temporary, but it seems everyone in the media is assuming Geelong are going to finish 3rd, but they are far from being guaranteed of doing so.

Hawks are also a strong chance to finish top, maybe we will still get the Cats in a 1st v 4th final

[FlyingHigh]

Yeah, there a fair chance of that too DOOL. All just seems like everyone is assuming it's fixed.

[Spargo]

So firstly,
- Geelong are going to lose to Brisbane at Kardinia Pk?
- Richmond are going to beat Sydney?
- Hawthorn are also going to make up 7%?

Get me an easi-pick lotto ticket while you're at it.

I think if Richmond beat Sydney by a point (say 81-80) and Hawthorn win by 100 (say 150-50) the Hawks will go top. Apparently the Crows won't know what margin they need before or during their game provided other results go to plan of course.

[Jim05]

I dont think it matters what happens, the AFL has pretty much guaranteed Sydney Saturday arvo and Hawks Friday night regardless if they finish 2nd or 3rd and no matter who their opponent.

Can not wait for this weekend of footy. Hope the Coasters are alive come Sunday

[stan]

Could be interesting tonight, will we see some bruise free football from the hawks?

For the Hawks to go top The combined winning margins of the Hawks and Tigers needs to be around 90 points. Rich by 20 Hawks by 70, job done. Not impossible thats for sure.
Highly unlikely Geelong will lose to Brisbane and drop to 4th with a Freo win.
Think the Hawks will win by 100 plus tonight, cant see the Pies scoring more than about 30-40points.

[RustyCage]

First blood to collingwood

[RustyCage]

Pies by 5 points at quarter time. Hawthorn with no interest in being out there

[dedja]

Just a temp problem with the clutch, will be in gear soon.

[Q.]

How bad are the HTB calls FFS

[Q.]

Hands for beginners, Jesse White.

[RustyCage]

Hawks hit the front. 28-22

[daysofourlives]

well what a crap game, its like watching a Crows game

[RustyCage]

Hawks slowly pulling away

[dedja]

Well it will be a big ask for Collingwood to drag the Hawks down to their level for the whole match.

[RustyCage]

Hawks 56-30 at half time

[Spargo]

Sidebottom - shit for brains.

[dedja]

Whoop, whoop, massacre in progress.

Mothball time for the Pies.
