Pressure Now On Crows

[ShockOfHair]

To me the draw has more the flavour of 2005 finals than '03. We start by playing an away QF which if we lose we most likely have a home game against Geelong. If we win there's even the chance of a game against the Eagles.

Lots to look forward to.

But what if Freo upsets Geelong. They then have 2 games on the road.

Freo will get flogged by Moggies.

Nope. WE play at home in our next final what ever the results

Yeah I would gives us a lot more chance of beating crows this week than geelong at skilled on Saturday. Adelaide are playing well but have obviously had an easier draw. Swans in my opinion are the better side but home ground advantage to even it up. 50/50 game in my opinion. Grundy if suspended would be disasterous against tippet/walker. We didn't play well against Geelong at all...only in small bursts. We didnt have any outside run and our trademark chain of handballs to players in space. Can't wait for Saturday. I think we would need to win to get to the Grand Final.

There is more than suggestion that Walker may not play.

Let's hope not. Would be a huge out. Walker more dangerous than Tippet in my opinion.

Not seen this? Injured?

Then it would be nice if Walker didn't play.

Just for the Record- I believe that when we were level on Saturday and Geelong got awarded two free kicks in front of gaol (nothing usual about that) the boys shut up shop and played very conservative, as if I wont risk an injury thank you. I am exremely confident of winning on Saturday, in fact for the first time this year, I will place money on it. I am also very confident that only Hawthorn can stop us winning the flag, If we dont reach the GF, I will be very disappointed. We will see the Real Swans on Saturday Arvo. This will tell us if we are contenders or pretenders.

Page 37 of the Herald Sun today in the finals teams summary under unavailabilty. Taylor Walker (hip). At least if he plays he goes in with a known injury.
