Could you imagine the outcry if we finished third and Brisbane finished 2nd and the AFL said we'll play it at the MCG.
The Brisbane club and fans would be up in arms.
But so would every other team in contention.
We need to finish in the top 2
And with 2 games and a huge percentage between us and the Swans...that kinda narrows it down to one spot in particular.
No 2
If we don't finish second, chances are we'll be travelling somewhere not close.

This is exactly why our remaining games are so critical even though we have so many injuries to cover. With GWS, Freo, Brisbane, and Port breathing down our necks, we don’t want any finals games in their home territory. We saw what happened last year when we had to travel to Brisbane for the preliminary final. That didn’t end well at all. We need to be careful of Hawthorn. They have found some real form. Some real belief and confidence. I hope we beat Port with a real short break. Not enough rest time after the encounter against North Melbourne. We can only hope as anything is possible this end of the season.

Some flog from Geelong I think it was was snipping about "too much whinging" (although it seems legit when Dangerflog does it) but apparently we've made a phonecall to galactic headquarters about the treatment players like TdK received on Sunday without receiving any frees.
A few us have noted over the years that our crew receive extra "treatment" from certain sides, yet we have so rarely pushed back. In the past a well-placed knee into Mr Xerri's short ribs on the return encounter might encourage him to play in play in a more sportsmanlike manner. Because it's the law of the jungle once you cross that line, especially in finals.

Teams that play on a Sunday night should never play on a Friday night.

Nobody said AFL had to be fair, some teams and coaches dine out on that fact.

I believe that the Swans got stuck into Xerri in round 18 and he was unsettled.
We should play Pitto and De Koning next time and give them a licence to be unsociable.
