Agree RB hard to see either team getting past Sydney.

I agree Hope North win but can not see the winner getting over Sydney at home.

Geelong seemingly can't play four quarters, so the opportunity is there for North.

Both teams seem to struggle to put 4 quaters together.

Geelong have got the jump on us both times earlier this year, if we can keep it close in the first half hopefully we can run over the top if them... Sounds like Stevie J will get up but he is def not 100% so I don't mind

In supercoach the best way to rank teams is not the ladder, but Rank By Total Points.  Generally the best way to rank teams in the AFL is percentage.

So ranked 1 an 2 are Sydney and Hawthorn.

3 and 4 are Freo and Port.

5 and 6 are Geelong and North

West Coast actually rank 7, but lost some close games.  Off the subject but look for West Coast to be the bolters in 2015.

Richmond and Essendon rank next.

So this game should be close.  North fielding their best team all year and a lot of people in the media tipping North, but history says 2 from 28 for the team ranked 5-8 to win this game.  Both North and Port looking to defy history.  Interesting to note, North have beaten every finalist this year, except Geelong.  Hope we can defy that trend aswell.

I thought they were supposed to be this season? And iirc they were almost flag favourites the year before :3


Should be a good game, hopefully the cats get over the line, I'd rather them win the flag than the swans and hawks

Don't think the Roos can give the Cats the start they gave the Bombers, so I think with an even 1st quarter, the Roos could get up in a close one
