Finals first week

[gothebombers]

Adelaide has the easy one.

what hawthorn would do better of coarse...cant even beat the bombers who are useless as youve said before...at least we made it go the bombers

You made the 8 gtb and thats where you will finish 8th.

your prob right dermie.i think noone wanted 8th spot for poss the last 6 weeks....hawks,port adel sydney west coast all had a chance but i guess we were lucky to squeeze in there just. its always a hard task to beat adel at aami but it has been done....and i guess now all the focus will be on how much adelaide will win by, they have said its the easiest final they will win....but thinking back past years , im pretty sure there has been finals which are un....loosable that teams have lost. ill be there going for the bombers and if it happens it does...we have nothing to lose

I hope they get up for you mate. Don't think they will, but we cal all pray. I would love to see the Cows get done.

[gothebombers]

thanks mate..all we can do is hope in hell

[howgoesit]

i dont see the saints v pies game going one way or another really, obviously the saints would be an obvious pick for the form they have produced this season but i just think collingwood's forward may be a little to quick and nimble for the likes of fisher, dawson, blake etc. the midfield battle would go to saint kilda on personel but swan, o'bree, didak, davis, beams can match it with the best of them and the pies backline can be as solid as any other club in the league. i can actually see the pies getting up but obviously the game needs to be played and anything can happen.

Hogan must have been caught pissing in Bomber's coffee. Stokes has been rubbish this season and Wojinski looked to have stuffed his ankle badly last week. I wouldn't be surprised if Hogan gets the call up at Wojo's expense. Stokes ARRRRRGH!

[NO-MERCY]

Same as the Wedge & Thiel's.

[Dutchy]

Paople still rate the Cats? been site for 12 weeks now and have a huge injury list, who would have thought it but Collingwood and Bullies with FULL strength sides could progress to the Prelims and leave Saints and Cats for a knockout in week 2

[Dutchy]

as for Carlton?

they are DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMed

[Rik E Boy]

I reckon:

Crows
Geelong
