Finals

[KTigers]

Seriously, if Sydney (and it's five million inhabitants) can't support two teams in the AFL then maybe the code is not nearly as good
as it's been made out to be.
While I'm here, is this one of the worst finals series ever?. Six games out of seven over at half time so far.

Odd isn't it, after such an even season.

Maybe today will be closer. Imagine the atmosphere at the MCG if the Giants get up. It'll be like a graveyard. Part of me wouldn't mind seeing it...

Yes, so many pretty decent footy teams (us included), not firing a shot. Hopefully the Giants can bring their best and do it.

While some may argue that the bye should freshen teams up, it may be have the reverse affect on some, leading to these finals blowouts.....In regard to today, I'll be barracking for Richmond for my daughters sake but I admit I would like to see the Giants win just to shut the 'bandwagon' up, see the masses silenced and watch Melbourne/Victoria mourn not having a presence in the big one......

I'm sure all of our RWO colleagues south of the border already have their own personal evacuation plans in place in case GWS
have the temerity to play well and win, but just in case maybe check out the Titus O'Reilly report

Emergency Management Australia threat warning: Richmond lose to GWS | Titus O'Reily

Card carrying Swans members know they will always be welcome north of the border.

Well, it would be like a graveyard, until the riot kicks off.

It's an intriguing battle, as much in the corridors of power than on the field of play. Many mistake the AFL for a monolithic organization when in reality, it's riven with factions driving agendas of their own. Sometimes their goals coincide, our trade ban the most glaring example. Mainly, they simply focus on benefiting whichever clubs or businessmen they're aligned with and if in doing so, simultaneously line their own hip pockets then all the better.

This afternoon, it's the traditionalists versus the expansionists. GWS have finished ahead of the Swans for the first time, box ticked, but will that be enough? Or THIS FAR AND NO FURTHER? Important changes at HQ from last year gives them at least a fighting chance and of course, no matter how much rubbed green Richmond get, imploding like most other losing finalists have this season is not beyond the Yellow and Black.

So here's to the first 'interstate' Grand Final in over a decade. Go orange people.

Go the Giants, last year's fairy tale was enough, never again should a team get a golden run like they did. If the Tigers win can you imagine next week's free kick count and more important where they are given. Once the Tigers are gone don't care.

I hope the Tigers lose (don?t care who wins, even in this game).

Dylan Sheil is a biggy . Not sure if they can do it without him.

[stevoswan]

Tigers getting away a bit now.....umpires also kicking in a bit, that deliberate out of bounds against Green was ridiculous.

[Merdo5555]

How hard is it to get some unbiased commentary. Is ruining the enjoyment of the game

[Daisi]

Terrible umpiring, terrible commentary...so I hate to say this....but I'm really glad we're not playing today..

Looks like Cotchin's in for a nervous few days.

[Mel_C]

Damn looks like Richmond is going to win. It's going to be hell here in Melbourne ????.

All we're going to hear about is the Cotchin bump. If he doesn't get suspended (especially with his 2 fines) then the fix is on.
