Semi final shenanigans

[turbo]

Getting arrogant or over confident before we (likely) play them again could be a mistake and I really hope the squad arent thinking like some members here are.

They’re paid to be professional football players. Members here are fans. It’s been rare to be positive, let us enjoy it.

We've seen complacency or over confidence before on the pitch. Dont get me wrong we're in a great spot coming in to it but I'd rather not jinx it and see a thread about finals age like milk.

I agree with this.

Has entry to the grand final always been in this format? I vaguely remember 1 VS 2 playing and then the winner goes straight to the GF

That was the original format. Changed in 2010.

Anyone know how much ticket prices will be?

 

[Ancient Mariner]

I just read the members option from the Club. No mention of prices. My first thought was the same as Micks.
My question: Is all the money from finals tickets going to the APL or FA the same as it used to go to the FFA?

 

[scoober]

I think the only way the club gets money is if you buy a box. Maybe an uncatered one wouldn't be too much?? Otherwise top guy Danny gets his bonus

I found the email a bit confusing, it reads, like 10 GA free tickets for any members that aren't gold or platinum?

I’d be surprised if that’s the case. Claim probably not the best choice of words but I’d love to be wrong and get free tickets.

And in case anyone from the club is reading are the usual GA seats reserved or still doing GA for this one?

No, definitely not free. I read it as members are entitled to a maximum purchase of 10 during the member pre-sale.

I am still very fresh in the memory of getting beaten by Methcarthur at home in the elimination final, after smashing them all season.

?

 

[bikinigirl]

. bit worried about this - umm, snippet - in the email:

(this will be a first in first severed basis)

... i think i might hold off any purchases for a bit. APL to get their pound of flesh by force it seems

I think the Nix Will do Adelaide.

Had won last three until the recent thumping. And think the turmoil around Talay leaving will have settled a bit. So decent chance they will refocus for finals and beat the reds imo.

Talay’s also a better coach than Veartt from what I can tell and I think a tactical plan to beat the reds will be well and truly in his wheelhouse.

I sincerely hope not FP, plus they only just beat a very poor Methcarthur on Saturday

I'm hoping Sydney do WSW and Nix to Adelaide, so we play Sydney over two legs ?

 

[shipwreck]

Failing that I'll take a red card to Goodwin against Nix ?

Before last weekend they haven't won since round 20 and in three of the games since they've conceded 4 or more. They checked out early but still scraped in to finals. Of the two I'd suggest Adelaide is more likely to bounce back especially at home, but if Talay can rally the troops for a farewell tour they'll put up a good fight. Whether he can is the big question.

The last I want to play Is Sydney, even more than WSW or the plastics. They beat us on the last outing and they have a huge amount of experience in the team. Players that are experienced, crafty and have played in big occasions.

Finals football is a different beast abs often experience wins out.

 

[Ironbark]

The divers or nix - it's in our hands to beat both and we can. Just need to get out there and make sure we do.
