Footy '08

Losing to the Swockers certainly wasn't in the overall plan.
 
A very apt characterization. Achieved a lot, but did blot his copybook.

How do you blokes think the first week of the finals will pan out?
 
Considering 6 of the 8 are very erratic form-wise, I can't see anyone other than Hawthorn or Geelong being able to string together enough good weeks to win the Premiership, and the Cats should be superior to the Hawks.

Geelong to beat St Kilda
Hawthorn to beat Doggies
Adelaide to beat Collingwood
Swans to beat North

I agree with azzaman that the Cats and the Hawks will play off in the GF with Geelong going back to back. A friend of mine is predicting that Buddy will play a Godlike (Ablett snr) game in the granny and win the game off his own boot - however he is a Hawthorn tragic.
 
Hawthorn tragic - a nice combination of words.

I would not compare Franklin to Ablett.

Geelong
Hawthorn
Collingwood in an upset
Swans
 
The Qualifying Finals look pretty straightforward: Geelong and Hawthorn to win.
The Elimination Finals both look like toss-ups: Maybe Collingwood and Sydney.
 
5.75 for the Saints this week is a bit weak. At 10.00 it mighta been a good bet.
 
For - Geelong. The Colliwobblers live to play another week and their supporters hopes and expectations grow - good! :evil:
 
Woo, a win to the Swannies! And on my birthday too! Thanks for the bday gift boys!
 
Collingwood to beat St. Kilda, and Bulldogs to beat Sydney in an upset.
 
The Doggies finally got their act together to beat a brave but limited Swans side. The Doggies new found confidence will be brutally exposed next week against the Cats.

Fingers crossed that the Pies beat St Kilda. :mischief:
 
Urgh... it was going well for a while, but in the second-half, the Swans became dog food... Probably time to start rebuilding the list.
 
The Saints went marching in...to a prelim vs Hawthorn.
 
Geelong Vs Hawthorn in the Grand Final. Thought the Doggies let themselves down with their kicking for goal - the difference between the two sides wasn't as great as the scoreboard indicated. Also thought Hawthorn were made to look good by an incompetent St Kilda - what does all this mean?

Geelong to win in a close finish - although a Hawthorn win would not suprise and if they do it will be because Buddy cuts loose - he was ominously quiet in the Preliminary Final.
 
I wouldn't be surprised if Geelong killed Hawthorn. The Hawks-Saints match was very physical, and two of Hawthorn's most important players were playing with injury (Franklin and Hodge).
 
I do hope we win.
