A bit surprised Albo wasn’t in Sydney supporting his Rabbitohs in their final NRL game of the year last night.

And Ariarne was in Brisbane on Thursday night for the NRL Broncos v Storm game… has been letting her hair down!

Hawthorn will make the grand final - that is my crazy prediction.

The Hawks have a Bulldogs of 2016 feel about them!

They really do. I was a believer in them after watching them against port earlier this year. They have an excitement about them. Sam Mitchell has been a fantastic coach for them and has really turned things around.

Quite possible, I’ll have to admit now. But their very young list and inexperience in finals, let alone GFs (can’t believe I’m saying that about the Hawks) could bite them at some stage, let alone going from outside the Top 4. The Bulldogs’ in 2016 was possibly a once in a lifetime fairytale that was meant to be, it was **62 years** after all.

I can’t see the Hawks lasting, but they might well make it to week 3.

What a dreadful finals series for neutrals - not one likeable team left.

They will beat port next week and I don’t see why they couldn’t beat Sydney or GWS.

Jury is still out for me on Sydney - I’ll be fascinated to see how they go against GWS.

I do think though if the Swans make the Grand Final, they won’t dish up a performance like 2022 again, sort of rebound strong like West Coast (2015 disaster \> 2018 and vs Pies = 🏆) 🤷‍♂️

Huge issues for the Swans here. The ticket to a GF if they bomb here would mean a Geelong prelim meet in Melbourne, that’s got disaster written all over it.

Somewhat problematic for Carlton also, they will struggle to get past the Swans next week if they win tonight, that would make it easier for the Cats again, as Carlton is probably the only team that can somewhat challenge the Cats in a prelim. The Cats just need to belt the Swans again like they have done every other time in Melbourne.

Geelong are going to breeze into this GF. I wouldn’t mind a GWS/Cats GF.

This is going to be a long 5 mins. 😑

I reckon the Swans can do this.

Imagine if it was a grand final. Would’ve gone down as one of the greatest, especially with Sydney’s comeback.
