Oppo Camp Grand Final thread - Hawthorn v Sydney

[Major Colvin]

Hawks should win easily but Geelong seem to stifle them. Still, Hawks by 3-4 goals

Sydney to beat Freo, comfortably. The absence of Johnson AND McPharlin is disastrous for the Dockers - who now have a situation where Dawson/Silvagni match up on Tippett/Buddy. Any time, any where Ross, but with your two best backmen presumably

Essendon/North - worst, most irrelevant final of the round. I don't know, Norf, I guess

Port to beat the Tigers in a close one, by like a goal. I'll enjoy that.

Port to beat the Tigers in a close one, by 9 points. I'll enjoy that.

I'd enjoy that more.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

I'd enjoy that more.

900 points would be the ideal.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Would give absolutely anything to be at the MCG right now watching us play.

 

[Crimson Azure]

Umps love the Hawks. I dont.

 

[Crimson Azure]

Hard to watch this and look it as fair umpiring. Bias may not be deliberate but it is obvious.

 

[Cannon82]

I don't know how Selwood hasn't won 5 Brownlows. Umpires love him.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Rivers is having an excellent game. Nice to have some MFC representation.

Double or nothing next year?

If only they had Chip.

Yeah i would give up anything as well, win or loss, i don't care i want us there. Quite prepared to make a sacrifice to the Gods

 

[Jordie_tackles]

Jack Gunston is pretty much everything I wanted Javk Watts to be.

If Watts played for Hawthorn there's a good chance that that's what he would be.

Thanks for making it even worse

 

[schmuttt]

Probably going to the Cats game next week with a mate, hope they smash whoever they play (Whether that be Norf or Essendon, hate them both). I'll be dreaming that one day I'll be watching my own team in a final

 

[LeverPuller]

Hawthorn + AFL umpiring = joke

 

[The Professor]

Ripping stat.

MFC has had more finals success in the last ten years then Essendon and Richmond.

This doesn't make me feel as good as I thought it would.

You need to become a more bitter and spiteful person. Take pleasure in the pain of your fellow man.

 

[Big Jim 11]

Jeez it hurt being at the game last night, watching footy at that level, watching fans get up in arms every second, loud cheers for every tackle, knowing its going to be a long time until we ever get to that level

 

[Crimson Azure]

Well....... Richmond are doing well.

 

[PitchBlease]

Hardwick: Um, gentlemen, the unthinkable has happened. We have to play in the finals.
Cotchin: What'll we do!?
Riewoldt: Declare a snow day!
Vickery: Does anyone know how to kick a football?!

/schadenfreude

 

[Cannon82]

Really don't rate Hardwick. Richmond have the cattle to be much better than they were today - seems when the opposition work hard and play tough inside football, too many Tigers go missing. Cotchin isn't close to the player he was a few years ago; same with Riewoldt.

On the flippity flip, hats off to Hinkley and co. That first half from Port was quality.

Loved Jono Brown's tweet on Cotchin's choice at the toss: 'Captaincy 101: always go with the wind'. Probably didn't matter in the end though; Port were just so much more intense in the first half (and most of the second), took risks and they paid off. Great footy to watch.

So I went to the Swans v Freo game as I live in Sydney.

Inside, a little part of me pretended that the white part of the Swans jumper was actually blue.
