We will play the WB
Happens every year that people think the side that wins the elimination is a good chance against the side who loses the qualifying final. Sydney fell in at home against an ordinary side. WB got destroyed by the best side in the AFL so far this year. Swans have to travel. Should be close but IMO we get the WB on Saturday week. That means we play a night final.

That's my guess too. If the Bullies can play even close to their best they should be too good for the Swans.
But I didn't win our tipping competition, so what do I know?

It does, you are right.plugger66 wrote:Happens every year that people think the side that wins the elimination is a good chance against the side who loses the qualifying final.

That said I know it and I'm falling for it for the first time, I think the bullies have fallen into the finals and the swans have hit the line running.
If they didn't have the injury list that they do, I would pick them, but I think the Swans will get across the line.
Life is very short and there's no time for fussing and fighting my friends.

I feel the same way although Bradshaw is an ominous in and I'm starting to feel that I'd rather the Bulldogs win.

Bradshaw is an awesome player at his best but hasn't played much and could upset the structure that got them there. Ben Mcglynn will be more important as he just adds another avenue to goal and some defensive pressure in the forward line.
Dogs are missing cooney, morris and higgins but should be able to get someone to cover all but cooney. They are down an a grade mid but just means boyd, cross and griffen have to play longer on the ground. Hard against top 4 teams but should match sydney. Sydney don't have craig bolton so should struggle to hold Hall, Johnno etc.
My prediction is if the bulldogs get the ball in quick to their forward line they should kick a winning score.

Think the Swans will win, said all year that they are a danger team ... on a mission. All the players promised Roos they would win the GF for him. I don't think they will, but they will certainly go a lot harder than the doggies. The doggies are mentally fragile, blamed Aker for their loosing streak that was p...weak. , Then Blamed the flu, Now they blame injuires... they are a basket case..... and p...week.

And our former president said " Football is like golf"
Go Sainters !!!!!

Reality is that if Bradshaw's in this week he may very well be out next week if the Swans get through.Sainternist wrote:Oh man, I freakin hate Bradshaw, even though I'm mates with his cousin haha...dcstkfc wrote:I feel the same way although Bradshaw is an ominous in
I seriously can't remember a game where we didn't go to town on us.
He just doesn't seem as durable in his advancing years.

I'm tipping the Doggies too....every year it's the same...don't get sucked in by the hype of the winning team and the loss/form of the losing team in the week before...
38 of the last 40 top 4 sides have made the prelims
The only exceptions were Port (3rd) in 2001 who lost to the Hawks (6th) and WCE (3rd) in 2007 who lost to the Pies (6th)

Also, i think both cases we saw hideously undermanned sides. Port were struck by injury at that stage of 2001 and lost a clinker by three points; West Coast were without Cousins, Judd and Kerr (amongst others) and lost in extra time.Schillaci wrote:I'm tipping the Doggies too....every year it's the same...don't get sucked in by the hype of the winning team and the loss/form of the losing team in the week before...

I dont think so but if you go to the ladder prediction thread maybe it is.Cairnsman wrote:Is that you Nostradamus?plugger66 wrote:Happens every year that people think the side that wins the elimination is a good chance against the side who loses the qualifying final.
