No need to apologise, Old Son. I don't own the AFL Forum and I'm only too happy for anyone to take the lead at any time... I'm just happy to see people posting here.

I'm plumbing for the two Adelaide outfits this week, BTW.

Here are the stats, pure stats, and nothing but stats.

Port Adelaide Power v Essendon Bombers
(Winner plays Collingwood)

Bombers Finals since 2000 away - Won 0, Lost 1

you forgot to mention that the stats weren't entirely accurate what did you call the Essendon win at Subiaco last week then Bomber.....a draw perhaps it should read:

Bombers Finals since 2000 away - Won 1, lost 1

Essendon & Brisbane are mine this week.

Essendon & Brisbane are mine this week.

Oh no! now we are destined to lose - meltiger put the mockers on us!

its gunna be tough, especially with Fletcher likely to be missing through suspension....but i think we have learnt from last year and will pull through....(p.s - i hope we go all the way, i put $5 on us to win the title @$21 - i stand to win $105 if we go all the way!)

 

[Dean Moriarty]

Crows to win (Brisbane's will have a better team on the treatment table than the field at this rate).

Bombers to win (I think last week will have got into the heads of the Port players, and Mark Williams shows no sign of being the man to turn them around. As long as the Bombers get a good start, watch Port fold like sheets on wash day).

 

[Moffo]

Crows into Port, more you put in the more you take out ;-)

Cheers,

[Dougie]

F*** the judiciary!!! How can Brodie Holland get two weeks for a punch OFF the ball, and Fletcher get 2 for going hard at the man in a FINALS GAME FFS!!!! :x :x Im absolutely fuming, nearly threw the remote at the tellie when i heard it!

 

[JTR]

Brisbane by 22

Essendon by 6

 

[Dougie]

Brisbane by 22

Essendon by 6

I wish - now that the judiciary has dismissed Fletch's appeal, we are stuffed....i still dont see how going hard at the ball and not being able to pull out of a hit is equal in punishment as a cowardly act like punching somebody of the ball....damn judiciary bias - if it wears black with a red sash, it must be suspened, but if it wears white with black stripes, he must have been provoked or some other bullshit :x :x NOT HAPPY :evil: :evil:

 

[Up the mighty Phins]

Brisbane by 8

Port by 16

 

[CyberKev]

I'll refrain from my usual long winded analysis this weekend...

Suffice to say...


ADELAIDE by 35 pts

PORT ADELAIDE by 24 pts

It'll be a funtime in the City of Churches this weekend...

[Cupid Stunt]

[chileman]

Fletcher Gooooooorrrrn = Bombers Gooooooorrrn!

 

[Up the mighty Phins]

Brisbane has advanced to the preliminary final after beating the Crows by 42 points last night. The Crows couldn't match in the end with the Lions in warmish conditions.

Brisbane now sets up a clash with Sydney.

 

[Dougie]

Fletcher Gooooooorrrrn = Bombers Gooooooorrrn!

i sincerely hope not Chile!! although it may be evened up a bit by the fact that Tredrea isnt 100% fit....but what about that performance last night by the Lions - far from a spent force if you ask me - i actually hope they beat Sydney......Sydney have become my new most hated team (apart from the pies).....lets just hope that the Bombers win - i had a Sportstab Multi bet with the Lions to beat the Crows, Bombers to beat port and Melbourne to beat Canberra.....2 down, 1 to go!
