AFL - Final round

Sydney are not in the race .............. Freo/Hawks/Cats to fight it out

It seems that way AD but can you really write them off? Champion teams do champion things, and you know they have the guts.

Swans got a lot of injuries at the moment, not sure how many will come back. The did go into last years finals with effectively the exact same form, losing to pies hawks and cats in the last month.

was surprised the Swans were so competitive last night, bring a few players back next week, Buddy misses and there must be some nervous Hawks fans

really hope North get the last spot in the finals

Khan, port are having their last ever game at aami, full house, nothing to play for? #lostyourmind

i'm going the kansas city shuffle. when everyone looks left and fills their boots on st kilda, i'll go right and back freo to win by +40
$20 @ 6.75

2 more outs for Freo..Mayne and Ibbottson

St Kilda into favouritism to beat Fremantle. Matched as high as $10 and now into $1.85

top up freo then eh?

Whats going on with that game  BT ???The betting on this game,no matter who wins,will be talked about for years to come

freo resting everyone for next week

they fielding a team of no names,nab cup style..

Tanking

first goal saints


game over



imo

now Pearce subbed out

dockers

Why are the Dockers resting players?? Dont they still have a chance to get 2nd place & a home final which is crucial to winning a GF

They must be the dumbest mob ever!

Only if Geelong were to lose

freo...bruise free footy

Whiskers, cats will probably look at scores in other game & lay down in 2nd half. At least they have brains to realise how difficult it would be to win away from home in first week. Dockers are morons!!

Kye, not having a dig but I am not sure you realise where the ladder sits at the moment?

dockers?
How is this any different to when Melbourne tanked ?

If they lose they finish third, if they win they most likely finish third.......same difference.

AD, I am having a dig. You are a complete fkwit!!

Look at the ladder dockers are 2pts behind Cats. If they win & cats lose they get 2nd place & play at home next week. That can hardly happen if they lose to Saints

Lions are playing for a possible finals spot. They are massive chance of winning!

Well, that was rather uncalled for, not sure what prompted that attack Pretty poor form.

You just don't know what you are talking about then. Anyone with any brains knows this is a smart move by Lyon, would be absolutely no hope travelling twice from Perth to Melbourne in 8 days to play Geelong at the back end of it

bit like the public gallery at parliament house imo

Who do people fancy in Blue's game? I'm sure they'll stuff up their chances as per usual

why would you sack m.voss? had this team over achieving again. concerning for the lions going forward with a board like that

i've never heard the word "courage" being over-used more than when I listen to afl commentary

Has it ever been used in soccer commentary?

courage isn't really a desired trait in soccer

if all the people that played afl grew up playing soccer instead socceroos would have a good soccer team

But nobody would care

Only girls play soccer--- AFL is a mans game

I'm on Port to samsh these mugs Carlton

Port/Blues almost unwatchable with these jumpers.  WTF were they thinking.

lions having a serious dip at trying to play finals by the look of it

its dundeel ew forever here strong and have had tris as well saving luckytgray

Easy moeny

Ross Lyon--most relived man in football as lions miss by a point.Should have won Lions. Miss kick with 2 seconds to go,also umpire should have paid holding the ball against Chapman with 8 seconds to go--ripped off..

had the tri's a lot of times there if  it had run a place can't believe it couldn't get out, why try to go the farkin inside

Gotta laugh at Carlton odds at the start, just becasue they need to win. Haven;t won a last round game since 2004.

Who to back next...this is over. Melbourne in NRL tonight I think

What difference does the last round of the last 8 years make to a game happening today?

wrong thread again sorry guys

Stats make a difference, watch and learn

I'll show you how its done

So when they won the wooden spoon in 2005, beaten in the last round by a team that finished 5th, that makes a difference in this game?

Not just one year,every year since 2004. Same will happen today

They won the wooden spoon every year and will again this year?

You've missed the boat anyways, game is done

Oh?  My vision must be delayed by 3 quarters.  Will have to get onto the Austar technicians.....

BF must be using the same vision, still haven't suspended the market.  Free money everywhere.

May as well be suspended. Blues woeful as ever. Don't be bitter because im right

lol.  Why would I be bitter?  You clearly are wrong, they are still playing.

End result is spot on by me, we know this already. Carlton don;t do comebacks. Therefore my stat of them always losing on last day is correct once again. Easy money

What was the final score?

Port by whatever you like!

Probably 60+

Fair enough...

How much did you win on laying Richmond to make the finals by the way?

What a bet this was, so many mug layers out there

Apparently Richmond would have rather played Port than Carlton You have to wonder why some people bother

I have no idea how anyone in their right mind thought Port was just going to gift this to carlton, just because the blues needed to win  didn't mean they were going to, they've needed to win many games throughout the season and haven't, why was this going to be any different for a team that's no farking good. Eagles will get flogged tonight by the crows I'm sure they'll try and lift for embers, sellwood and niko who unfortunately only gets to go around in a car at halftime but  we're totally gone at the moment.

Come on Port ..fkn... 

Don't let Carlton in...

My mum barracks for Carlton

Reckon rich wouldnt wanna pat Carlton

Or play even

Game over

Your mum will be happy joel

Which one is carlton, the look the same to me.

Game on

Well done.  Love the mug money..... 

Blues Prolongs their season of misery

Sprinting over the boundary with ball in hand, not deliberate....hilarious

Never in doubt Carlton.

Well done BJT, seems like I jinxed them, I have that affect

Go Blues.
Tigers supporters shaking

According to some Carlton are 'no farkin good'. That may or may not be true. What is true is that West Coast Eagles are 'absolutely no farkin good' !
Poor Josh Kennedy may have to come back to the Blues to get a kick. Can just see it, CJudd bursting out of the centre and hitting JK lace out...

Blues in the finals

Feel bad for North, I still hope they go out with a win today and have backed them + Suns and Dogs both giving away 50 odd

that's Suns and Dogs both giving away 50 odd - North head to head, a point will do. Pies won't want to get hurt imo

brilliant decision by the AFL to play the Geelong/Freo game next week in Geelong. Didn't think they would, a chance to do something different and innovative and they took it. Will be a great thing for the town.

According to some Carlton are 'no farkin good'

He's right as usual. It's true.

He also appreciates that the Eagles are lacking.

CJudd bursting out of the centre and hitting JK lace out.

That could happen if the Vi$y Ambassador went back to the West. Only need the money to be right.

40 posts in 10 years At least make them count.

Denigrating a pillar of the Australian Forum ..... very disappointing

Rhinoid, Geelong get to play a final on HOME ground?

Unfair...imo.

Why

Before you were born, Joel, all teams had their own, exclusive dunghill.

That's when HOME ground advantage was indisputably real and tangible. Cold showers were the standard in the visitors rooms .

Geelong is the only Vic team to retain their dunghill. That's why...imo.

Does Fremantle not have their own home ground?

I suppose so. Here in Victoria we have NEUTRAL afl finals standard grounds/facilities as options.

Do they have any of those options in WA?

Rubbish Spoon. Assuming Fremantle lose they will get a home final next week. What's the difference? It's not a dunghill anymore, they have spent many $$ bringing it up to modern standards. Etihad is a good venue but has no real soul or tradition, why should it get a final? Will be a massive deal for the people of Geelong, and seeing as they finished top 2 and can't play the MCG, unfair on them to go to Etihad. Throw in their contribution to the comp over recent years and for me it's a no brainer.

Rubbish How rude!!

Has your response taken into account my 0340 post?

No, but I have now pondered your 0340 post. My new position, on your position, is still the same position I had on your position - Rubbish

It's not a dunghill anymore,

because

[i]they have spent many $$ bringing it up to modern standards.

$$$$ on THEIR dunghill, $$$ are irrelevant . 

Etihad is a good venue but has no real soul or tradition, why should it get a final?

Soul and tradition ..... is not relative to "FAIRNESS".


Will be a massive deal for the people of Geelong, True, so would a new Ford Factory,it's not relative to "FAIRNESS"


and seeing as they finished top 2 and can't play the MCG, unfair on them to go to Etihad.


Throw in their contribution to the comp over recent years

Winoib, pluys


Looks like a dunghill, smells like a dunghill

It's probably a dunghill

WGS--at the line--Pies at the line--Doggys over 60--

freo fans seething over here

Ross does look angry .

if gooleng had a 53000 seet stedeum playen in gooleng wood be no ishoo

Where is it written the stadium has to have 50k+ seats? It seems Freo and their fans and Spoon want Geelong penalised for finishing top 2 and being good at home.

box 2/5/6/8--at the rate--leaving out the 2 inside barriers--specked the 6--STREAT-STORKER

how many seats will they reserve for Dockers fans???

North and Suns did good, Doggies let me down

Credit where credit is due a good effort by Carlton to come back and win, but their presence is an irrelevance anyway, as predicted the eagles got absolutely flogged and as for that **** demetriou, well obviously sydney will never ever again be severely disadvantaged by being forced to play "home" finals at ANZ, all swans home finals will now be at the SCG won't they Andrew, absolutely zero chance of that happening of course.

I despise hypocrisy, and Demetriou is a hypocrite of the highest order.

I think you'll find the Swans signed that contract Mr Elope.
