#AFL Finals Week 1 weekly discussion thread

Bombers are clueless , turnover specialists.
Not remotely up for finals pressure.

They were there under false pretences.

I'm not sure this is the right thread, but I respectfully disagree; for me, Warne surpasses even Basil Zempilas levels of bloody annoying.

Absolutely not! Don't want to see the over-entitled crew at Geelong having too much success this year, especially not Chris Scott. It's funny, I used to quite like Geelong but these days I would much rather see the Pies get a win (although not the flag). I quite like the players and coach - their punishment for being Pies is they have to deal with their fans and Eddie. That seems harsh enough.

Agree with that. I used to quite like Geelong, but Scott's involvement makes them unlikeable. On the other hand, I quite like Buckley.

I can't remember being more disinterested in a finals series than this one. I watched more cricket than AFL tonight on TV.

I think that the other finals matches will be far better than this one. Essendon limped into the finals and played accordingly. The others are far more evenly matched and in better form.

PS how good was it to watch the Aussies accumulate a good score with the help of missed chances from the Poms?

Looks like the cavalry has arrived for GWS, with four first 22 guys coming back in. Greene, Haynes, Williams & Deledio.
No slouches on that list. Hopefully they can put the fairypups to the sword. But ultimately I'll be going for anyone but
a MCG tenant.

Agree with that, but the inclusion of Deledio feels like a "fairwell game" to me.
As long as GWS dont play Lauchie Keefe, they are a chance.

I hate not being in the finals.

Yeah, it probably is. He's retiring at the end of the year. Likewise, this could be Mumford's last game also.
I can see him now, going out with a flourish, trying to maim as Bulldogs as possible by "inadvertently falling" on them,
with the threat of suspension meaningless.

Didnt he do that last time he "retired" ?

Nice result last night, may the Injectors continue to be stuck on the wheel of endless mediocrity.
