West Coast will give it a shake I would think.....But Nic Nat needs to be more consistent before he has a dip at the Brownlow.....He is definitely one player with heaps of potential though!!!

no team has even made the final from outside the top 4 in the last 15 years ,
i do give the cats a slight chance though.

hawks look unbeatable to me.
hodge, mitchell, sewell rioli, buddy and rough head. unless buddys hammy gives out they should win the flag.

dockers and roos just happy to make the 8
swans..overachieved as always.

question is really whether crows or pies will be up against hawks.

my bet is pies v hawks with hawks to have a very big win in the grand final

The Dockers Wes.....It would be a milestone for the club if they can pull it off but IMO the Dockers are the least likely to win this weekend out of all the opponents???

A Hawks vs Eagles Grand Final would be awesome with the Mighty flying Hawks winning by 1 point to really leave the Weagles supporters disappointed!!!

beau waters gone for the year and i think kennedy has a sore foot. i presume if they beat the pies they play sydney.
if so would that be in sydney or at mcg. they are a rough hope.

Along with WC's firepower, I think that the roos didn't handle the heat very well.
It's tough to go over there at the best of times, but being more acclimatised to the conditions is an added advantage.

As it happens so often these days (years) in finals, the bigger bodies seem even bigger compared to a smaller opposition.
W.C. will be missing Lynch & Waters for their clash with the pies, but I think they can cover that considering the plethora of big guns that they have.

The pies will be missing Maxwell and had a very hard hit out vs. the Hawks. I reckon they're out in straight sets this year.

Hawks will beat Adelaide.

Swans/Magpies 50/50, maybe slight edge to swans due to rest and home groud, though the Pies have the wood on them.

Cool

Go Bloods. Wink

accurate assessment
point is, hawks should easily thrash crows, should be able to rest some players a bit in 2nd half,
get buddy off once the games won.

pies and swans, probably be a close one, pies seem to be carrying too many injuries, daisy looks slower,

swans should win.

grand final, hawks midfield just too slick,
goodes is a champ but his legs must be getting tired, he's carried them for quite a while.

my prediction is a hawks annihilation of their opponent in the GF.
havent seen a team so dominant for a while.

the nrl is much closer, i honestly couldnt split storm, manly and dogs. will enjoy both codes.

i slightly prefer nrl being a traditional qlder but the video ref is ruining the sport. what a debacle last week Cry

Ergo, if the Swans get past the Magpies, they can't be underestimated.

Go Bloods

The footy gods appeared to me in a vision, and gave me a message:

Hawks choke.

So, I have been expecting them to choke for the last few weeks, but it hasn't happened. That leaves this week....

But the footy gods work in mysterious ways. I, as a mere mortal interpreted the message as being an on-field choke...but what if it was more literal? The players must be extra cautious when eating - choking and losing the grand final is devastating enough, but choking on your dinner and losing your life is much, much worse. I don't wish that on anyone, so in the interests of saving lives, I really hope Swans win this weekend.

It's gonna be a really crappy day for footy, so hopefully it's a draw and we'll get a better match next week. However, considering the terrible record the Swans have at the "G" (one win, one draw from the past 15), I'll pick the Hawks by 37pts.
