2024 Grand Final Predictions?

[Blackhawk42]

I'm not ready to say we're fancies to make a GF til I see where Brisbane finish. They match up against us better than any team in the comp and I'd never be confident going up against them even at the G. Dunkley scrags Cripps into oblivion and their smalls always kills us.

Hoping someone else can piss them off for us.

Sorry, can't relate .

Actually pretty amazing how ladder position just never really matters when it comes to bogey sides.

 

[Gw2_James]

Sydney, Brisbane and Freo scare me. Wouldn't really want any of them in the Grand final. Definitely Brisbane scare me the most.

 

[kaiserchief13]

Do We ?

If the umpires have anything to say about it, then Sydney will need to be a 5 goal + better side to beat a Vic team in the gf

 

[Purple Suit]

That’s generally how it works if 1 & 2 both with their QFs and PFs.

Generally

With the AFL these days, we can't be 100% it will be the case. We will have to wait and see how they fixture it.

 

[Wolfgang West]

If the umpires have anything to say about it, then Sydney will need to be a 5 goal + better side to beat a Vic team in the gf

That’s fair enough way to look at it but if we make it and that’s a big if still I think this could be the one. Will be hard but not impossible.

 

[BigVic]

Sydney, Brisbane and Freo scare me. Wouldn't really want any of them in the Grand final. Definitely Brisbane scare me the most.

A Sydney-Brisbane grand final in Melbourne will bring out nostalgia to Fitzroy and South Melbourne.

We haven't had a non-Vic decider in 18 years and we were close last year.

 

[Rotayjay]

I'll go for Sydney v Carlton, Blues to give it a serious shake and perhaps win.

 

[Arr0w]

I still think it's wide open

Most important form line is the last 4 weeks leading into finals

[Miluxx]

If Sydney finish 1 and Carlton 2 and they win their QFs and PFs, then it should be a Sydney Carlton GF.

I'm pritty sure that's how it works.

Carlton Sydney are massive front runners. Hard to see how those two miss from here.

Form lines change dramatically, top 3 is far from set, let alone the rest of the 8

You couldn’t conjure it so it would have been Suns vs Lions?

 

[RAPPA]

Sydney are effectively 3 games clear on top with the percentage gap. They’re the only team whose final ladder position is relatively set.

Open race from 2nd to 8th, with all remaining clubs in the top 8 with games to close out the season that are toss of the coin.

 

[StillAtLarge]

Sydney, Brisbane and Freo scare me. Wouldn't really want any of them in the Grand final. Definitely Brisbane scare me the most.

Why? Brisbane can't defend for shit and no one is beating you guys in a shootout

 

[Miluxx]

I get that definitely. I just think the 2 best sides are the two mentioned. They are going to be hard to stop if they can keep it up.

 

[MUFASA12]

Collingwood vs Carlton for the vibes

Defense
Lions #10 Blues #13

Attack
Blues #3 Lions #4

Not much between the two at the moment

I too am most worried about Brisbane from a pure bogey side perspective but in fairness to us we're 2nd for offense by a fair margin not 3rd and our defense has been one of the best over the last couple of months or so since getting our core players back from injury.

It's hard to judge Brisbane atm as a Blues fan, I'd be more confident going up against Sydney, Freo, Geelong, Pies etc than I would Brisbane despite thinking they're all currently better sides purely due to match ups.

Not sure they’re a bogey side. They’ve just been better than us.

Last time we finished above them was 2017.

Also fairly sure we beat them last time out.

 

[Thrawn]

I actually want to play Freo, first time they'd ever play in a final.

 

[Jeff76]

Swans and Blues in the GF with Blues to win very comfortably.

Carlton and Brisbane.

Think the swans will falter and Brissy are getting their rhythm back.

 

[Cuzz09]

Maybe someone random will pop up like Melbourne or port
