Who is going to finish 4th?!? (And other ladder positions)

PowerBug · August 25, 2013, 09:59:31 PM

You might face (heaven forbid) the crows in the finals! D: Entirely why I might be seen in a Carlton guernsey this weekend at the match :P

So have your blokes remembered to cancel the September holiday they book at the start of every year? :P #banter

I'd much rather us face off against Port or Adelaide to be honest, we matched up really well on both those teams earlier in the year, and yeah HGA will be much more pronounced against a non-Vic team.

Really hoping for another upset by Brissie this weekend.

If Richmond finish 5th and essendon lose points who would you rather face in finals - Carlton, Port, West Coast, North, Adelaide or Brisbane. I will be in a Port Jersey PB especially if we have beaten Geelong as Brisbane can not be overtaken for 8th if Port beat Carlton,

hard task for Brisbane to beat Geelong, But will Geelong want to face Freemantle or Sydney which may decide on team they put out.

I'd probably rather face Port, Adelaide, Brisbane or WC out of the teams you've listed their Ringo. Think Carlton & NM would both be 50/50's for us, but I'd feel much more confident against any of those other teams.

I agree with Toga. Any interstate team at the MCG is big for us.

PowerBug · August 26, 2013, 08:03:38 PM

Will you get the MCG if you are playing Port?

Who will get the Etihad game? Say it's these matchups:
Hawks vs Swans
Cats vs Dockers
Tigers vs Blues
Magpies vs Power

All my mates reckon the Cats vs Freo game would be the Etihad one, but I think it'll be the Collingwood Port one, as that is the lowest ranked final of the lot.. :\ How do you guys see it.

Why not 4 MCG games...?
Is there some rule that Etihad has to have one?

PowerBug · August 26, 2013, 08:20:43 PM

Not possible to have Sat arvo and Sat night at the MCG. Might be timewise and I swear i've seen it happen before like 10 years ago in the season, but it's not going to happen. one of the saturday games will be at Etihad. :)

Toga · August 26, 2013, 09:17:12 PM

Yeah I think the "lower place" final would be at Etihad.

AFEV · August 27, 2013, 11:04:11 AM

Collingwood final at Etihad? Somehow I think not.

Geelong v Fremantle, surely.

Capper · August 27, 2013, 11:21:02 AM

When was the last time that all 4 games in the first week of finals were played in Melbourne??

AFEV · August 27, 2013, 11:27:11 AM

A 2 minute investigation leads me to believe it's yet to happen under the current finals system. :o
