AFL Elimination Final 1 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Sydney

[crashlander]

Not sure where and when yet, but MCG on Friday night is looking to be favoured.

Sydney is the weakest of the three (or four counting the Bullies) that we could have been up against. It's at the G which suits us more than them, Walsh, Cerra and McGovern have a game under their belts, Cripps and Doc have had their well earned rest and our injury list looks minimal. (Acres might be a worry). We will be far more mentally attuned in two weeks time.

Bring it on!!

I would have thought it's 1st vs 4th on Thursday
2.d vs 3rd on Friday
5th vs 8th on Saturday with 6th vs 7th on Sunday or Saturday night.

2.d vs 3rd on Friday
5th vs 8th on Saturday with 6th vs 7th on Sunday or Saturday night.

AFL wanted the Filth on Thursday and Us on Friday for maximum crowd attendance and tv viewing.
Both teams bring an army.

Acres will be a big loss, his work rate up and down the ground is phenomenal, he crashes, bashes and breaks tackles easily. A strong mark as well, its not surprise we completely fell away when he was subbed off yesterday.
We just had too many non contributors and nothing to play for. Saying we need to turn that attitude around in 2 weeks is a huger understatement.

Ducks and Drakes over the next week or two, you won't know what is real until the next siren sounds!

[PaulP]

Not at all confident about this game. Leaving aside questions about our available / unavailable personnel, the Swans are, from the coach down, a finals proven, battle hardened outfit, hitting form and self belief at the right time.

Anywhere close to the form over that period where we thumped Port, easily beat the Pies, physically overran the Saints and physically matched it with Melbourne, and we win easily. Then on to a Blues v Pies blockbuster week 2.

We really should be playing Adelaide this week.

Will be a tough one imo but I think we'll get home.
