What a beautiful day to be alive.

Melb v Geelong at MCG.

I reckon the Dees have it in them. Just a question of whether they'll get nervous and crumble.

Hope Sydney gets knocked out by GWS. Sydney have had a pretty shocking record at the SCG and given that's where their final will be played... if I was a Swannies supporter i'd be pretty nervous.

WCE will defeat the Pies at Optus and I reckon the Hawks will roll the Tigers.

It won’t be at ANZ for GWS Sydney?

Sydney are above GWS so they host the elim? They haven't used ANZ stadium for a while, so you'd think that given Syd's home ground is SCG that it will be played there... unless there's something i'm missing

Melbourne were genuinely fucking brilliant yesterday. GWS didn't have a great game to be sure, but Melbourne were way too slick with their ball movement and too strong in the contest. So glad I ended up going along to that one!


Fingers crossed I can nab tickets for Richmond Hawthorn and hopefully Melb Geelong too!!

Honestly I think it's the best I've ever seen a Melbourne team play.

Agreed. Got a few weird looks at the end of the game when I said this, but they were just brilliant.

Hopefully Geelong keep up their good form too; gonna be a seriously good match.

Honestly, I'd be fine if they didn't.

P.S. Have just made a thread on the AA team. Keen to hear your thoughts!

@Aaron @brenden

Hartung delisted. Does that also surprise you two?

Not really. He was great for a few rounds and that was it. This is a statement that they're confident they have somebody to replace him.

[brenden]

I can only assume they’re confident on Gaff and Polec and think there’s not a spot for Hartung in be team, so wasn’t *overly* surprised. I really hope they rookie list him though.

[Joseph41]

Gaff would be an absolutely massive get for North if it eventuates.

The thought of this........ gives me goosebumps
