Finals Week 1 - v GWS, SCG, 8 September 2018, 4.20pm

The Tigers avoiding a Granny hangover and sustaining their elite and tsunami form through 2018 is really impressive, albeit annoying.

Who could possibly knock em off.

Especially when you compare it to the hopeless efforts of the Dogs. Tiges deserve plenty of plaudits, the stars have managed to keep a very high degree of performance up over the two seasons, and their team structure, strategy and effort remain competition leading.

Looks like it would take a tragic bus accident on the way to the G for them to lose from here.

Both teams not exactly bring a rich vein of form into this contest.

I'll be there as it's a marquee game for the city, even though it should be at ANZ, but I don't think the winner will progress far after this.

In our last 4 weeks, we beat third, fifth and seventh and ran 4th within a goal with two of our best players missing. How exactly is that poor form?

Don't worry, sister- I've got you covered with highlights to bide your time!

DON'T TOUCH ME!!!
I hate this song so much that my friends all touch me at the touching me touching you bit.
I've taken to stepping a few more steps out of their reach.
Thanks Stell. It's in my head now, and I can't get it out.

I still think they should be playing this song

Are we there yet...well *we* are not quite, but I guess it's finals time today.

I find myself in the curious position of hoping the Hawks really take it to the Tigers, without going for the Hawks as such...just because it would keep things interesting.

I don’t know why the other 7 teams are bothering, Tigers already have it in the bag. Apparently!

The first step comes around 3pm, with the following three words: 'no late changes'.

Yeah, your post about that on the NEAFL thread prompted my post above. Hopefully the second rested player is some kind of insurance.

There are no changes ????

There are no changes ????

That's nice. I was worried that Buddy or Parker may have been a late out.

[aardvark]

Not confident. C'mon Swannies, be your best!

[stevoswan]

Will we finally 'click' at home? I think we will......Swans by 11pts.

[aardvark]

Radar looks ordinary. Rain heading for Sydney.

[S.S. Bleeder]

Nor feeling confident..............which is usually a good thing.
