AFL- Cats V Hawks tonight Fremantle V Sydney tomorrow

[BadFish]

Interesting game tonight

Geelong have won the last 11 against Hawthorn since the 2008 grand final loss. Hawthorn are big favorites and have had a weeks rest but the run of 11 losses and "kennet's curse" may play a part in the result tonight.

I desperately want a Cats win tonight but fear the Hawks will reverse the trend and win comfortably

Heart says Geelong, Head Says Hawthorn

Anyone following AFL in the UK or are The Aussies among us watching the big game tonight (1st bounce in 50 mins)

I tried to get into Aussie rules when it was on channel 4 way back. Despite repeated tries the utter randomness of the game forced me to give up. It looks like one of those terrible new "sports" our over friendly PE teacher used to inflict on us that would he would forget within a month when the new fad game came along.

Very true, it takes a long time to understand it's rules and nuances but once you do it is spectacular to watch and the skill level is impressive (more so these days as much of the violence has been taken out of it). Going to games helps as does having someone to explain what is going on. I used to go with a country footy umpire which was interesting as he new the rules better than most supporters and commentators.

The game tonight should be a cracker.

Go Freo,

We've been crap for so long never thought I would see us this close.

Close at half time, but I think Hawthorne will be too strong for them in the second half. Good game so far. It took me a while to get into AFL but it's such a great game. One thing I miss about living in Victoria is AFL, Newcastle is a pure Rugby League city and rugby is rubbish! I wonder if my team, the doggies, will ever win a flag?

Thanks for that BadFish

Would love to see Pavlich hold up the trophy,he stuck with us when he was just about our only classy player in those lean years.

Its tough for those poorer clubs in melbourne,but lets hope the dogs win it before those cheats at Essendon do.

Fantastic game.

Another dodgy decision and a fantastic goal puts us up by 20

When they sing "Geelong", it sounds like us singing "Seagulls". And they play in blue & white.

Like.

Were nicknamed The Seagulls for a short time early on.

A Geelong v Freo final with the recent history could be very fiery.Crowley and Ballentyne as Freo villans.

Geelong seem to be doing their best to let Hawthorn have a sniff.
