Opinion If we made it, who'd you want to play?

If we somehow managed it, who'd you prefer to play in an elimination final?

I'd love to play the Cats again straight after beating them, or perhaps the Eagles in Perth.

Worst case would be Dogs at Etihad, imo.

Think the Dogs will be at the MCG if it happens.

Na I don't reckon. They'd get home ground advantage and the AFL always tries to schedule one final at Etihad, so two teams with lowish supporter bases makes sense.

Anyone. Everyone. We are six wins away from a 13th premiership!

Hawthorn at the G for sure. Atmosphere. Idiot Hawks fans. Plus the epic meltdowns if the 4-peat was thwarted by Melbourne.

BWAHHAAHAHAHA!!!! *rubs hands together creepily*

Beating Geelong two weeks in a row would be the stuff wet dreams are made of for me.

GWS second most desired win.

Last year they put Dogs v Adelaide at the G...

Yep they did too.

I remember that. There was some sort of idiot hoohaa (no idea how to spell that) about it not being at Etihad etc.

Geelong. If we make it to 8th odds are we play them anyway.

Worked for them last year

Anyone at the G then GWS away. If it ended up as GWS we should get a bus and driver and road trip it.

Anyone at the G, dont want our first final played in front of 5000 GWS who dont know what footy is and Theseventhhamster 's bus of bigfooty missfits

Give me 60-70,000 against the Hawks Cats or Dogs any day of the week

 

[Theseventhhamster]

A bus load of 20 drunks would loud as heck at that ground.

Grounds so suburban you could probably sit an eski on the hill and have an BBQ

 

[Simon_Says]

Giants easily my best bet
We beat them first game of the year (albeit im not sure how).
Maybe if we play the footy were playing now

Genuinely already committed to flying to Sydney if we're playing up there. Won't be able to get to Perth. Geelong/Bulldogs you would expect at the MCG.

I know we are wayyyy ahead of ourselves, but just imagining 70K at the G against Geelong on a Saturday night jakl;fffsrwetba sfsdf a

It'll be 90k. The hype around Melbourne and 1987 2.0 will be enormous.

Maybe the real reason I feel so ambiguous to finals was because even if we went down by 10 goals at the G id still cry and clap us off the ground for even making it, thats not what a finals team should do

Fair to say I was straight on to Ladder Predictor at work at 8:45am this morning. It's hard to engineer any result other than Geelong finishing 5th (with MFC 8th obviously) so Dees v Cats at the MCG seems the likely matchup if the dream were to somehow come true.

Before this weekend I thought it would be either the Giants or Eagles, so the Cats at our home ground is a huge improvement on those nightmare scenarios.

There is a long history of teams sneaking into 8th spot and getting flogged in an elimination final, so as long as we avoid the disastrous results which befell the likes of North and Essendon a few years back, that's a positive.

But can you predict the weather for that round?
