I tend to agree
Glenelg clearly and deservedly the strong favourites. But the Grand Finalists from last year are in reasonable form and like Glenelg, know what is required in terms of intensity on the ball. Still think South, on Adelaide Oval in Spring, with young talent, could surprise if they can get back to some form shown earlier in the season.
It should be a great finals series. It’s pleasing to see such high standards from the top teams, despite all that has happened over the past 18 months with Covid and a huge bonus having no AFL Reserves in the finals again.

Whilst we capable of matching the good sides occasionally we are far too flaky and inconsistent. You can safely rule out 4th and 5th this yearam Bays wrote:Moved here from the WWT Adel threadAerie wrote:am Bays wrote:So you’re saying it’s a Bays v North GF?

Yes it's going to be a good finals series, time will tell if it's a great one.
I'll nail my colours to the mast and say I expect us to play in the GF (airfares booked and paid two months ago). I am confident we will win at least one game this finals series and hopefully two.
Whether we salute or not I'm not that confident at the minute and wont be until we are 5 goals clear into time on into the last qtr of the GF. What I do know if we play to our potential that we've demonstrated all year we should win.
However 1978 is an alarm bell in my frontal lobes as a team and its supporters that finished six games clear at the end of the minor round and duly saluted in the 2nd Semi are still having nightmares from not playing to it's potential in the GF.
North and Eagles are the dangers and are very real threats and like Norwood in 1978 have the ability to beat anyone on their day.
Over to the rest of you

Wow, that's some serious pressure on the Bays, will be the biggest choke in over 100 years if they don't win the flag!

And the Eagles were the hands down best recruiters in the off-season.
