Hence why Im nervous about Collingwood. I reckon they will beat the Swans tonight.
I think the opposite. You will see the finals experience come out from the Swannies and the Pies disintegrate under pressure. We saw what happened at the MCG when the Lions turned on the gas a few weeks ago...
I hope you're right Benny boy. I really hope you're right.
Difference being is that Brisbane have a quick midfield, Sydney dont.
Brisbane have a big key forward, Sydney dont.

Hopefully Adelaide can get over the line.

A great game at TD.

Franklin kicks a goal with 5 seconds to go to win the game for the Hawks.

Hawks won the game by less than a kick. Remarkable.

Awesome effort by the Hawks!!!! Sad end for Riccuito to finish his career like that.

Go the Vic teams!!! :D

Franklin will win a lot of games off his own boot for that club over the next decade. A phenomenal talent indeed.

A fantastic year for the AFL.

Two finals decided by 3 points, with hopefully two good finals to go.

Testament to how well the AFL have done by even-ing up the competition.

It was good enough to win them a premiership in 2005, and miss out by 1 point against the extremely talented and quick midfield of West Coast :wink:

ADELAIDE and SYDNEY GONE!

I hate the former for their INFERIORITY COMPLEX and the LATTER,for making COLLINGWOOD look good.

Love BUDDY.Anything at the moment to make PERTH FOOTBALL CLUB to look good for all the SHIT they've PUT ME THROUGH over the years.

Mind you,I hope SCOTTY STEVENS wasn't his direct opponent.

Obviously I misread the Swans decline. Blokes like Barry Hall, Nick Davis, Leo Barry are no longer able to impose themselves in big games. Very poor performance from a team I expected to insert pressure - not wilt underneath it. The only guys that looked competent out there were O'Loughlin, Goodes and Malceski.

f*** Collingwood!

A KEY forward is someone who actually performs. Hall should give the game away.

I don't think you've thought through that comment much at all.

Hall was in the AA team 3 years running from 2004-2006. He's a gun. He's had OP and knee issues all year. He's still a gun.
