This is something that Sydney did really well against Melbourne so we will see. The funny thing is that even if Sydney and Geelong qualify for the grannie, there's sort of no recent head-to-head form to analyse. They won't have met since round 3 (Buddy's 1000th goal), and both teams have evolved a LOT since then. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted September 5, 2022 #402 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Interesting times, most likely will end up as you said but finals can make some teams lift and others fold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoWhiners Posted September 5, 2022 Author #403 Share Posted September 5, 2022 I saw all these emails with posts cross my screen but it was our fantasy football draft, so I couldn't jump in. I don't know enough about all the teams to speculate but I do know... Go Swans! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MicCanberra Posted September 9, 2022 #414 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Brisbane Lions beat Melbourne Demons in a very close game last night. They go on to meet Geelong next week. I think the Melbourne fans will be very disappointed in the result and especially some of the inconsistent calls by the umpires. I hope today's umpiring is better.

I hope today's umpiring is better. We were a divided family last night - husband, son and his family are Dees and son in law and and younger grandson are Lions. Husband, son, son in law and grandsons all were at the match. I wasn't sure if I was being biased but there certainly were some inconsistent calls. But if Melbourne had kicked accurately, they may have been further ahead at halftime and perhaps Brisbane may not have got back into the game. Anyway, I'm now on the Lions' bandwagon. Not sure they can beat Geelong though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

losfp Posted September 11, 2022 #418 Share Posted September 11, 2022 I think the smart money is on a Geelong vs Sydney grand final. But you'd be mad to count Collingwood out. You don't finish 4th by accident, and they have made it a habit to be just good enough to get the win this season. I feel Sydney is still favoured in that prelim, but it's far from a sure thing. I'm more confident picking Geelong to beat Brisbane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydney finished 3rd, and it wasn't by accident either, often coming over the top of teams in the 3rd and 4th quaters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare arxcards Posted September 11, 2022 #420 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Should be a cracker, but I am leaning toward Sydney because of the SCG. It should be easier for them to play a tight marking game with the smaller pockets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
