AFL Finals Week 2

[Bum Crack]

How in hell does Ruggles get a fine and Hodge and Lewis both get off for their hits on Selwood

I was hoping Ruggles got two weeks. We're a chance to win a flag with him not in the side.

[Rik E Boy]

Burgoyne didn't want to "whinge and moan" about the attention on Mitchell and said the Hawks needed to be prepared for similar tactics by the Western Bulldogs in Friday night's cut-throat semi-final.

Well STFU up then. Sooky **** are cooked.

Where's Razor?

who cares...

[mighty_tiger_79]

I don't want him rolling up at the G next Friday night, would be a disaster for the Cats in trying to beat the swans

Week 2 of the finals Andi's usually very predictable, more so than any other week
Hawks and Swans.

[valleys07]

Hawthorn by 13 points. The Hawks have been down this road less than 12 months ago. They will respond.
Sydney by 34 points. No side under the current final 8 system has ever been eliminated in straight sets after finishing minor premier. *insert sound clip of thunder from AA*

True, but this is the first time there has been a week off leading into finals which may have had an effect.

Adam Hartlett - "I wonder if Sydney have confiscated Michael Tahlia's phone leading in to this weekends game"

Also arguably the most even top 7 teams we have had in years

Amazing how many have written off Hawthorn in the media.

Clarkson playing the media like puppets this week, knowing how well WB get looked after by the umps, he went after them sending out Burgoyne and also himself with some comments re. Mitchell. Watch Hawks get the better of the free kick count massively. Even without all that, think the experience and on the 'G will have Hawks by 27.

Well do I predict with my head or heart. Heart obviously says Crows, but Head cannot get around Sydney's midfield, solid defence, Buddy on the rebound from a poor game and controversy over sledging, add to that home ground advantage. Sydney by 30.

[Gozu]

As much as I want to see the Crows win we're playing the minor premiers on their ground and Buddy will certainly want to bounce back after his first goalless finals game.

Swans by 6 goals.

[PatowalongaPirate]

The Bulldogs have never beaten the Hawks in a final

[Corona Man]

Looking forward to a couple of good games.

Plenty jumping on the Bullies bandwagon this week, could over load it. Interesting for me is the "travel back from the west factor", does that have an effect? The blokes who all came back for that final, will they get up again for tonight. Often the second game is harder for them than the first?!?

Sydney Vs Adelaide..... Sydney on the rebound I reckon because:-

Cant
Rely
On
Winning
Semi's

Its all there in plain view!

I think the Doggies tonight and the Swans tomorrow night.


The Dogs ( $4.00 15.5+ ) looks a bet for mine. The Hawks will struggle across the back half with the Dogs forwards and I expect Roughead to have a night out against McEvoy and Fitzpatrick, setting up the Dogs run. The Hawks need Gunston, Rioli, Puopolo and Breust to get 2 or more each. The Dogs back half led by Boyd, Wood and Morris match up nicely. No big brutes for the Hawks, no gorillas down back for the Dogs though. The Dogs to run them off their feet and be in front at half time and go on with, Dogs by 21 points.


The Swans will be hell bent on not going out straight set two years in a row and while I think Adelaide are every chance, I think the Swans key players in Franklin, Hannebery, Jack and Grundy will all be very keen on having big games. The book ends, Grundy and Franklin were both down last weekend and they'll be keen. Smith goes ok on Betts, Adelaide have taken O'Brien as the travelling emergency, is Jenkins not 100%? The Swans have some kids in the back half but I think their forward half is the area that will get them over the line on the SCG. Sydney by 13 points in a ripper.

[MW]

Jenkins definitely not 100% but he will play. I think its purely insurance incase Sauce goes down in the warm up and Jenkins prob cant ruck much with that ankle at the moment. All three emergencies plus Obrien as the 4th have travelled.

Betts kicked 4 on Smith earlier this year, will be interesting to see that battle at the SCG this time.

Think the same as you Boonsta .. Obviously never confident going against the Hawks, but fairly confident the Swans hit back tomorrow

[Wedgie]

Hawks and Swans fairly comfortably.
