I'd add the fact the crowd, other than the neutrals who wont get that feral, will be predominantly Richmond. We'll be loud and intimidating

thats an interesting the debate. i think the neutrals that are footy purists first and foremost will be on our side. maybe even pies fans after their prelim loss. the chardonnay sippers might not be, but they won't make any noise anyway.

Not sure you're right. If I was watching and it was GWS against Pies, Blues, Bombers, Cats, Hawks, Melbourne, #lolNorf, Saints, Crows, Port, WCE or Swans I'd probably go for GWS.

2018 Pies were favourite - lost
2017 Crows - lost
2016 Sydney - lost
2015 Hawks - won
2014 Sydney - lost
2013 Hawks - won
2012 Hawks - lost
2011 Geelong - won
2010 Collingwood - won
2009 Geelong - won

Last 10 years, 4 of 5 favourites won 2009 to 2013 but in the last 5, 4 of the 5 favourites lost.


That tells me the favourites are due for a win. nice!

I was barracking for GWS because I hate Collingwood, and the possibility of losing a GF to them would have been unbearable. But it was laid bare during the game that Collingwood would have no chance against us. I couldn't quite bring myself to barrack for them but make no mistake, the Giants will be very tough to beat.

Agreed

GWS last quarters have been very poor in the last few games. Lucky to beat Collingwobbles and brisvagss.

At worst. If we are level at 3Q time I’m expecting us to destroy them 4Q

our mental toughness, experience and skill will win this flag for us. GWS will come out aggressive, but nervous, and we'll have them done by half time. if not on the scoreboard, then in their heads. we are a smart footy team.

Agree Dimma will have them switched on and we need to take charge of this game on our home deck with 80000 plus fans.They will come out aggressive we need to be ready and hit them them hard pressure and tackling.

Nah sorry never could go for them. Imo they've been gifted far too much at the expense of the previously existing clubs.

Comes down to how many GWS supporters I know. None. So there's no chance of having to hear about it all year long.

I find it strange that GWS went back to Sydney at a reported time of 9.15 pm on Saturday night, the game finished at 7.15pm ?? Not much time to talk about the game, recovery, all the normal things after a game. Sitting on a plane after hard game, am no doctor but it seemed rushed.

I’m worried he’ll put a high hit on Prestia or Cotchin to lay them out for the game.
Yep. Tribunal after the fact is not worth a pinch of dried goat *smile*. Player takes out another player in a final he should be sent off the ground for the same amount of time that the player he took out is off for.

That would have been sweet as, Maso. But bringing home the silverware against whoever is the opponent will still be magnificent.
Of course, but the week leading in is kind of bland. No banter n *smile* with a bunch of Colonwood rello's etc. Gee Whizz is kinda meh, GeeWhizz there's no life time of niggle n dislike to tap into n agitate.

The scum only really played 15 minutes of proper football on Saturday. In that final quarter the gws players were witches hats and barely able to keep up. Similar scenario the previous week against the Lions.
Their luck will run out this week.
If we pay them respect and turn up with 100% focus, I think we will destroy them.

We need to be switched on early. If we can get to quarter time close to even, half time ahead, we can destroy them. Can't let GWS get a start, in a Grand Final they might just be able to play out 4 quarters.

Any opponent who has won a Prelim is bloody good, I know the club will be switched on but our slow starts have been a worry. There's no next week and no need to leave anything in the tank, this is the last Saturday in September, let's Eat 'Em Alive from the first second.

Agree. Don't forget the Scum fans were too quiet and barely put crowd pressure on the Giants.

2 most important players we need to stop
Cameron & Whitfield
Cameron can score from anywhere on the 50
Whitfield sets them up with precise kicking.
2 players we need to keep an eye on Williams & Taranto too
