You West Coast bastard haha.

WC have the best midfield, Crows 2nd best, crows have best Defense by a mile, Forward line I'd say is neutral, there is alot of reliance on lynch to kick a bag, but WC midfield are capable of kicking a winning score by themselve. The key for us up front iss Bode, he can usually sneak a few, if he bags 3 or 4 we stand a good chance...and if Fucking Perry kicks straight!!!!!!!!!!

Hey D..when are the games before the finals???

[JB77]

I have a feeling Adelaide will beat West Coast tomorrow and have revenge for knocking them out of the finals this time last year. Having to play at AAMI infront of 50,000 feral Crows supporters in windy and rainy conditions, just won't suit us.

Your forward line without Ricutto and Hentschell is your biggest weakness. Our forward line is also ours as it is not consistent. I think if Lynch, Hansen, Hunter and Armstrong present and kick straight, we will win but the conditions will make that hard. Defensively you are better but Darren Glass (All Australian Full Back)should be able to stop Perrie from having to much of an impact. We will miss Wirrpanda's run of half back to.

I can't believe the Eagles are favourites to win. Adelaide have not travelled in weeks and have smashed good teams without some of their gun players in recent weeks. They had last week of and have the home ground advantage.

Adelaide to win by 17 points.

@megametal - Do you mean like the regular season?, The two Prelim Finals are tonight and tomorrow night, the winner of these two games face each other in teh Grand Final (teh Superbowl if you will )

@JB - Good call about our forward line, Roo and Trent, expecially Trent, were valuable players to our set up up front. Perry, I would image, wont do much. Where we have the chance to get you guys is teh run out of the back half with Macca and Johncock, Wirrupunda is a big loss for you guys from that respect.

I'm not surprised WC are favourites, they flogged us by like 82 points last time, and we had a full team, and bu 2 points at home in like round 2 with a full team. I think its going to be decided by less than 2 goals myself.

The Crows will adopt the same gameplan that Sydney used to beat us so it will be low scoring and very close. I reckon whoever has the most midfield run in the last quarter will win it.

I reckon the Dockers are a chance tonight against Sydney in what could be the one of the biggest upsets ever.

[Danallica]

Sydney got up as expected, fair margin in the end as well, I think the week off definately game the the fresher legs going into the last term

[superman321]

That result was to be expected, Freo just didn't have the game to beat Sydney. What was interesting though was that Sydney actually had a reasonably high score, something they don't do too often. Also, Hall kicked 6 which might be a slightly ominous sign for next week.

[dmegametal#1]

damn..it's today??

what was the score??

at least by the way you guys described it..it must have been a high scoring game

[JB77]

West Coast Eagles 11.19 (85) defeated the
Adeladie Crows 11.9 (75)

The Eagles were down by 22 points at halftime and looked gone but the midfield lead by Cousins, Judd and Kerr got on top in the 2nd half and run the Crows off their feet.

That was one of the best games I have ever watched and beating Adelaide in Adelaide in a final isn't easy. I just hope we can play that well the 4 quarters next week against Sydney and have revenge for last years Grand Final.

CARN EAGLES!

[Danallica]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH FUCKKKKKKKKK

Im so dejected right now hahaha...fuck!

So close, 4 points down with like 10 sec to go and the fucking ump pulls a free from his arse! ugh!

Oh well, life goes on aye
