2006 Afl Finals Thread

[Danallica]

Figured I might start one now, only 2 weeks left, but hey...

For those of you not sure, AFL is Aussie rules footy (the real football )

In the prelim (match to get into Grand Final) its

Sydney vs Freo
Adelaide vs West Coast

I am, like the rest of Australia, predicting another Sydney West coast Grand final, But I havent given up hope on my beloved Adelaide Crows just yet; Macca and Burton back, and I bet you Roo plays as well. Games already sold out...Come on baby!!!!

What do you guys predict, like I said, Syd v WC, with WC winning is my prediction

even if you dont have any idea, just take a punt!

well D

i don't know too much of Aussie rule football(Rugby)..but here are my predictions

Sydney(52) vs Freo(30)
Adelaide(26) vs West Coast(48)

[Danallica]

Fair enough

Theres actually two forms of footy here, theres Aussie Rules, and Rugby, they are different, but it can get kinda confusing if your not in the mix of things. The AFL isn't Rugby, rugby is either NRL or Union

[dmegametal#1]

hey D..does the score goes over 40pts??

[Danallica]

Yeh mate, thats probably about the lowest it gets actually, average is probably about 80, can easily get to like 100-120

Like Dan, I'm also predicting West Coast v. Sydney with West Coast taking out the cup this year. As long their midfield can stay fit then they will beat both Adelaide and Sydney. Adelaide has too many injuries while West Coast is now getting all their players back and big Lynch is really hitting some great form. ALso, their midfield as usual is playing simply beeautiful football. Now, if they can get Wirupunda back (not sure if he is yet) then they will become almost unstopable.

[Danallica]

Wirupunda will play, hes such a valuable part of their team.. We've got macca and Burton back, I'd say its 40% chance we'll win, i honestly believe our 2nd tier midfield could break neutral with WC, we have better defense, just a matter of shutting down lynch, with rutten on him that shouldnt be a prblem

however the big questiom is, will fuckin Perry kick staright hahaha

1 goal 4 last week, fucken terrible!

[superman321]

but that is Perry for you. I agree you have a better defense - but I don't agree about the midfield, just too kickass. I wonder if anyone besides freo fans will be tipping freo - just don't see them playing good enough footy to get over sydney.

[Danallica]

Nah they cant win, the only advantage for them is that its a telstra stadium, that will suite their game more

When Judd was out for WC, they played shit, the key is to neutralise him, we have plenty who can do the job, someone like shirly will get him

[JB77]

You might be able to stop Juddy but don't forget the likes of Cousins, Kerr, Embley, Braun and Cox. That is the best midfield in the comp by a mile. Add The Big Unit at Full Forward in good form and we are a better team than last year.

If West Coast beat Adelaide I reckon we will win the Grand Final.
