I got shot down for suggesting that on here. Almost hoping for a Geelong v GWS GF now so we can piss the bye off

Well that applies to footy as well it seems

After apparently coming off the Greatest season EVER for great games and close and amazing finishes, We now cop the SHITTEST FINALS SERIES EVER with boring crap one sided matches.
Even the close match was SHIT with only the closeness of the scores making it exciting.

NRL on 502

And they wernt that good last year despiote Gillon claiming the bye made them great. At least last year alot were close and high intensity for the 1st half, this year its all over by quarter time. In reality even the close one was over at quarter time this year

I also think that Sydney and West Coast were both extremely poor.

Crows v Tigers GF should be paying about $1.40.
Both only have to turn up to win
