Grand Final predictions

Post: # 1701505Post SaintPav »

I think Crows will win.

It will be a fairly tight first quarter and a half. Crows will begin to get on top towards the end of the second quarter and then will smash Richmond in the third. The game will be over early in the last quarter.

Crows by 50.

Reasons:

Crows are a professional outfit and are a more even team across the board. Given what the club has been through the last few years, I can't see them letting this opportunity slip. Tigers rely too much on Martin and Cotchin so sadly, their fairytale will come to an abrupt end.

Going by the results of the other finals, it won't be a close game. Hence, I'm picking Crows by 50 points.

This is what I think will happen but given that I am an atrocious tipper (I tipped that the Dogs wouldn't even make the finals last year for instance), I have to reverse my original tip.

So my tip is Richmond by 24 points.

I predict a draw and the first ever extra time grand final.

typical of the OP to tip both ways, gutless effort.

Not sure why the monkey even bothered to post this pathetic excuse.

2020 was an aberration, when we travelled twice to Adelaide and won both, beat Tigers early, beat our bogey Swans. 2021 we've returned to our old ways. Damn

Adelaide by 18.


Rugby League would have to be the stupidest, most moronic and over rated game of all time.

Crows by 44

Tigers by 3 or 4 goals
They're full of confidence
They've got the best player in the comp
They're playing on own dung heap
The footy gods have been kind to them

And you reckon I'm a troll.

I was actually taking the piss out of myself so hardly a gutless effort.

Nothing you say can insult me because, I don't care about you.

I refer everyone to MickThomas' very disturbing posts that he made this week in the Animal Enclosure.

My heart is saying Richmond, but unfortunately my head is telling Adelaide are going to win by about 6 goals :(

Would be nice if we at least got a close game.

The Crow will pick out the eye of the tiger. Crows by 30. I looked into the eye of the tiger this week. Do you know what I saw there? The thrill of the fight, rising up to the challenge of our rival.


I think you're pretty tough, don't I?

Not a prediction, but... before this arvo'...

65, 66, 71, 07, 09, 10, 10 = 1, 1, 5.
67, 69, 72, 73, 74, 80, 82 = 5, 0, 2.

:(



The 60's are often seen as the decade of the Tugger revival. First flag since the war and all that.

During the 60's, the Tuggers made the finals only twice...

Carn the Tiges,

Great game.

I hate the crows. Hope they get their noses rubbed in the s***.
