Titus O'Rielly's view of Friday night game.......GOLD! :
"Sydney v Hawthorn (SCG) 7.50pm
It�s been awhile since this wasn�t a top eight clash. Instead, this year we get 12th taking on 17th.
For Sydney, it�s 12th with a bullet, as they are now playing somewhere near what we all expected pre-season.
If they can get a win here, they�ll be flying with a spectacular record of 4-6! That could be enough to clinch a finals spot this season. If the AFL had its way, everyone would get the chance to play finals each year.
I think this wildcard thing is nonsense. Why don�t the AFL just let the Pies pay to be in the finals? In fact, paying to play in the finals would be the purist AFL policy ever. More teams, more cash.
Hawthorn still have Jaeger O'Meara�s return listed as �indefinite� but to be fair, there was no prior history of him having injury problems, so you can�t criticise the Hawks� list management for not seeing this coming.
Plus, they didn�t give up much to get him either, so no harm was done.
Hawthorn�s biggest structural problem this year is sending only Tom Mitchell out to play.
The onballer is playing against his old side this week, and he is probably hoping his new teammates decided to join him out on the ground this time. Currently, Mitchell is the council worker you see digging the ditch while 17 people �supervise� him.
Sydney to win this one." Like I said....Gold!
