Finals Week 1

[Sandridge]

I tipped Geelong.....so I hope they go on and win this. Looking good so far.

They're really looking good. 33 points up and hard to see how Port are going to make that up. Long way to go but the Power doesn't seem to have any answers.

I haven't watched much of Geelong this year, but I'm starting to see why Dempsey won the Rising Star.

My biased views on who I want to win.

Port Adelaide - I want to avoid them in finals because the Swans haven't beaten them since 2016. Any result that makes it possible to avoid them would be desirable. We can beat Geelong, so go Geelong.

Bulldogs vs Hawks - we can beat Hawthorn but lost to the Bulldogs last time we played them. Hawthorn have been in good form since we beat them (by 74 points). Go Hawks, I guess.

Sydney vs GWS. Go Swans. I want a home preliminary final and an easier run to a Grand Final.

Brisbane vs Carlton. If we beat GWS, this game is the most irrelevant because we would have to wait for the Grand Final to meet one of these teams. I don't care who wins really, but we are more likely to beat Carlton. Trouble is, so are Brisbane.

Posting this during the second quarter of the Port-Cats final, and I like that Geelong are up by nine points.

Can't see a thread by Deja, so here goes.

Port vs Geelong - I hear Tom Stewart is a late out. I am not sure who I prefer to in here. Port has beaten us consistently over a very long period. Geelong we got monstered by them in the 2022 Grand Final. Probably prefer Geelong.

Bulldogs vs Hawks - I think I prefer the Hawks, that Bulldogs height would cause us some problems.

Us vs GWS- so looking forward to it. Some unlucky player(s) to be omitted/not selected...

Brisbane vs Carlton - Lions should win this.



Oh, and interestingly, of the Channel 7 team, four out of 11 picked us to win the premiership, four picked GWS. There was one who picked Bulldogs, guess which person who has no insight about their personal biases? Yep, Luke Darcy!

Yes, since I've gotten out of the habit of kicking off these threads, it didn't even enter my head to do one today. Feel free to keep on going.
