Bill Hayes Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 The Tigers v Roos game was an odd match. It seemed to lack intensity to some degree. I think it was the hotter windy conditions. North, to their credit rested players the week before and played a game plan based on the Tigers turning the ball over. That plan beat Richmond on the day but won't see them progress much further. The Tigers seemed flat and their deficiencies were exposed. On the upside, I can now plan to go away to Port Fairy on the extended grand final weekend and do some spearfishing. I'll be barracking for the Eagles from here. Should be some interesting match ups next week. Hawks v Crows and Sydney v North.
CossackCarl Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 WOW what a weekend of footy, great for the casual viewer. Damn Freo was lucky to walk away with the win. But a wins a win, take them anyway they come Cant wait for week leading up to BOTH prelims in Perth.
CossackCarl Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 Down to the last 4 teams. Hawks ands Eagles are looking good in September Freo v Hawks: should be a cracker of a game. Eagles v Kangas: WCE should win easily.
JohnS Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 I'm not a betting man, but what are the odds of a Fremantle-North Melbourne Grand Final? Probably 10 to 15-1!
Bill Hayes Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 It seems the Freo fans were out in force last night. One fan threatening to punch a Hawthorn player and another punching a female supporter in the face which was caught on video from a phone and posted on social media. Anyone else seen this footage? Just disgusting.
JohnS Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 I have a feeling that the boys from the 'West' see tonight's West Coast vs North Melbourne semi-final as a foregone conclusion!

Despicable and disturbing Bill .. that women was trying to ask that piece of **** to mind his swearing in front of children ...I can't stand Fremantle and their supporters !! this makes me hate them even more ...I am glad the Hawks punished them ..and wipe that smart arse look off Ross's face once and for all ... 1
westg Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 I have a feeling that the boys from the 'West' see tonight's West Coast vs North Melbourne semi-final as a foregone conclusion! Very nervous John ...looking forward to a great game ...Supremo in hand ..
Bill Hayes Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 Im hoping for a West Coast win so we can have a grand final featuring two potent forward lines. Yep, westg, I am not a fan of Ross Lyon. It's a shame that Freo players are thought of in a similar way because you've got to like Fyfe, Mundy, Sandilands as players. Oh well, stuff em'.

One fan threatening to punch a Hawthorn player and another punching a female supporter in the face which was caught on video from a phone and posted on social media. Anyone else seen this footage? Just disgusting. Really abhorrent. I just can't understand what goes on in people's heads sometimes. We're supposed to be a civilised society, but stuff like that is straight from caveman days. 1
Coolio Posted September 26, 2015 Author Posted September 26, 2015 Very nervous John ...looking forward to a great game ...Supremo in hand .. Was a great game even though it was over sometime in the 3rd qtr. North tried hard and certainly can hold their heads high. Unlike the white maggots with the whistles!
LordAnubis Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 So who thinks the eagles can take the hawks? Will be interesting to see. If the eagles played like they did the first half today they'll get slaughtered by the hawks... but maybe they were taking it easy in preparation for next week? If the eagles don't have it in th ebag by half time, the hawks have the stamina to catchup... will be a good game in any case... anyone know anywhere it will be video streaming online?
westg Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 Was a great game even though it was over sometime in the 3rd qtr. North tried hard and certainly can hold their heads high. Unlike the white maggots with the whistles! terrible umpiring ..its amazing when you watch the reactions from players of both teams ...when they don't know who has the free kick and what it is for...loved the out of bounds when 10 layers stop because they can see the ball is clearly out ...and the call is play on...they umps are sponsored by OPSM ...maybe they should go and get some
JohnS Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 So who thinks the eagles can take the hawks? Judging by their Round 19 and Qualifying final games in 2015, where the Eagles have led in 6 of 8 quarters, I would think the Eagles can win. I think their recent clash two weeks ago, where the Eagles won 14-12-96 to 9-10-64 also carries momentum into the Grand Final. Speaking of momentum, which is critical going into a Grand Final, to beat North Melbourne after been dominated for the first quarter to a quarter and a half, speaks volumes about how the Eagles will be tough to beat in the next game, in my opinion.
Bill Hayes Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 hawks will go in favourites due to experience, talent and home ground advantage. There is a lot more space on the round MCG out wide for the hawks to play their possession game. But the hawks have had to play one more game to get to the grand final. It could take its toll. The Eagles on the other hand will have to travel but they do it every second week in the home and away. Then again, they don't get to play on the MCG all that much. In the Eagles favour will be Nic Nat and Sinclair in the ruck. They have the ability to give their enballers first use during stoppages. I feel the Hawks will counter this by manning up at clearances. It will be interesting to see if the hawks can pick their way through the Eagles web defence with their short kicking game or the eagles can put enough pressure on the kicker. The hawks won't tag anyone so it is looking like a shootout if the weather in fine with not much wind. Hawks and Eagles are rated 1 and 2 for goals scored from opposition turnovers. If it is windy which is often the case on grand final day it might be an ugly match for the first half at least until one team takes their chances. With so many great forwards I'm hoping for a good old fashioned 18 goals to 17 goals shootout on a sunny day. Go Eagles. I have too many Hawks mates and they have had too much success for my liking. Regards, disgruntled Richmond supporter.
westg Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 Typical Bloody eagles supporters texting me this morning saying would much rather be playing Fremantle than Hawthorn ....what a bunch of horses hoofs ....bring on Hawthorn who cares who we are playing ...we give it our best shot and we can do it .. 1
