Finals 2009

Week One

No surprises.
AFLMad picked four winners.

EXIT
Bombers
Out of their league, as a 96 point thrashing would suggest.
Only 10 home and away wins.
Finals next year far from certain.
AFLMad suggests - Find some talls. Quickly.

Blues
Overrun by desperate Lions.
List still falls away badly.
Defense is flakey.
Need second marking forward.
Cloke and Thornton don't really cut it.

SURVIVORS
Brisbane
Brave.
Inspirational last quarter goals to Bradshaw and Rich.
Will lose to Dogs this week.

Footscray
Look vulnerable against the top teams.

Collingwood.
Unreliable forward line exposed in the last two weeks.
Opposition coaches must love Didak playing up the field. No pain.
Midfield too slow.
Too many outsiders.
What the hell was Rocca doing there?
Out in straight sets.

Adelaide
Red hot.
Dour and drilled is suddenly high-scoring and devastating.
Should be able to close down the Pies and score enough to win.
Tagging Swan is the key.

St Kilda
Smooth.

Geelong
Holding together. For now.
