Finals race 2008 - how will it pan out?

[mexican_radio]

It's curtains for us, but I will be watching the finals with great interest. I think some outfits are going to be found lacking.

Hawks v Dogs: I can only see the Hawks taking this one. Too many options up forward will allow them to assemble a winning score.
Crows v Pies: Toughest one to predict. Home ground Advantage to Crows will help but the Pies showed last year they can produce quality finals performances. Close finish expected.
Swans v Roos: I think the Roos have over achieved and the Swans will enjoy putting on a home ground display. Maybe the Roos can pull a rabbit out of their hat, but their finals record is poor in recent times.
Cats v Saints: I do believe the Saints might find a somewhat tougher opponent next week...good luck with that!

I think the dogs have got a chance especially if Eade had a look at our tactics against them.
Pies will beat the Crows unfortunately. Adelaide aren't playing very well and the Pies have incentive.
North to beat Swans, they will want to atone and always play well against the Swans IIRC.
Cats obviously, the Saints are probably the easiest of their possible opponents.

The pussies have it in the bag, so far above anyone else.

If we can't win it, then I don't have a great interest. For what it's worth, Geelong by a mile.

It doesnt really matter how it pans out.

PUssycats will win the flag.

Just hand it over to them now & end the season!!

bit disappointed to c st.kilda finish 4th as i dont think they r thr 4th best in the leaguem they're very uninspiring too watch and will get pummeled by geelong.
crows & pies will go down to the wire but hopefully crows just to shut the pies fans up.
swans to beat the roos although their form isnt great, should win up there.
hawks will account for the dogs but I think the dogs performance against the crows showed a bit of that hunger they had appeared to have lost and should get pretty close but probably won't quite have enough.

The doggies against the hawks will be my smokey. In 2006 the doggies limped into the finals, finishing 8th and then absolutely belted Collingwood. Their fast running will play havoc with the hawks rolling defence.

whoever geelong plays in the grandfinal will finish bottom 4 next year like port, with PTSD.

Geelong will win, everyone else will lose.

I don't think Adelaide would be disappointed at St Kilda pinching 4th spot off them.

At least they've still got the double chance with only Collingwood to knock off in week 1.
