I don't agree with most of the comments on here so far.
I reckon the Dogs are specials to win tonight: if they don't get up in this game, Eade should surely get the chop.
And I do think that we should all be hoping like hell that the Lions get up tonight. I know they gave us some hassles in our game earlier this season, but they don't hold any concerns for me on the MCG.
Whereas I see the Dogs as posing quite a threat.
I know we have beaten them well twice this year and generally had their measure in the 2005-07 period (although 2008 wasn't too pretty). I also know that they have typically had trouble with Riewoldt and Kosi.
But all of these wins (and the 2008 losses) were at Docklands. Since they got their act together in 2005, I don't think we've played them at the G.
Eade has been preparing his team to run themselves into the ground in the finals. They lost their QF last year (to the Hawks), won their SF pretty easily against the Swans and then seemed to reach their peak in the PF and gave the Cats a good run for their money for 3/4 of the game before dropping away (and missing gettable shots) in the last quarter.
They worry me far more than the Lions.

I too am hoping the Lions get up in a tough, gruelling encounter. If they do - they will surely be limping into the PF to play us. Ready for the taking in my view.
The Doggies are an unknown on the G' - not sure what to expect from them. We have had their measure for sure all year, but on the Dome.
I would reckon we are certainties to take care of Brisbane next week, but the Doggies would worry me - even tho I would reasonably expect us to be warm favourites.
I want to stand for something. I'm a loyal person and I think at the end of my career it will be great to look back and know that I'm a St Kilda person for life.

Simple puddy cats beat these puppies.
Imagine the mauling they will receive from the king of cats, the lions.

Yep, knock yourselves out Dogs and Lions.

I'm thinking Lions and Adelaide, Lions because the Doggies won't handle a physical contest very well...and Adelaide, because I would like everyone's infatuation with Collingwood to go pop!

Dogs will win by 5-6 goals. Happens every year that people think the side that won the weak final will beat the side that lost the strong final because we go with the winners. Rather play Brisbane by a long way but it will be the Dogs.

absolutely. lions (at home) only just got over an ordinary blues outfit who had been pumped by 70pts a week earlier.
having said that, i think crows will beat an injury riddled pies after the physical battering we gave them.
Went to the game.
It was very ordinary.
No intensity.
Poor skills.
Boring to watch.
We will make mincemeat of them.
The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.
They can even WATCH LIVE FOOTY!
