Final 8 is set in stone as it means the ultimate winner must beat the other 3 top 4 finishers as the true test of the supreme team for the season, although it does give a chance to a 5-8 smoky like the Dogs that had been coming good and reached the finals with their best players on the park at last. Sydney had that opportunity this season after losing their first 6 games through key player injury and their record after that with their players back was 15/2 at 158% until last week's demise. Sorry Swans but you have to win 4 finals in a row to hold that Cup.

Now for the usual Prelims and they often turn out more tense struggles than the GF. Giants and Cats fans have to hope their teams can jump their much rested (rusty?) opponents early and silence their crowds or they'll be in trouble if they can't, although there'll be some serious introspection about the end of season rest week if it's a Cats/GWS Grand Final.

For some of we Mad Monday fans it was watching the Matildas vs Brazil and another superstar in Sam Kerr alongside some very talented team-mates who don't care if you ram home a great goal against them in the first minute, as they're fast approaching the skills and flair of the men's game and they know it. But here's the rub with women's soccer that can match the men for great entertainment and be rewarded accordingly with crowd and TV following. Women's AFL will never match the men's game, nor strut the world stage and so their player remuneration will be reflected accordingly. Right now many young athletic schoolgirls will be donning soccer gear and dreaming of big bucks and stardom and who could blame them for that? My bet is women's AFL will always be the poor country cousin henceforth.

There's no Great Evil conspiracy against consumers within engineering, manufacturing and supply. Just the many tradeoffs incurred to satisfy diverse tastes, priorities and wallets. But first comes all the insatiable Gummint eggsperts, nanny-staters and usual suspects.

So that was the Cats vs 50000 one eyed Crows supporters and only the rain intervening seemed to prevent a worse shellacking. Hard to see the Giants overcoming 90000 screaming Tiger fans unless they can get off to a blinder and stay well in front. At least the winner facing the Crows will have a more neutral crowd for the GF but Adelaide have one hand firmly on the mug now.

They did play well last night, they just seemed to have the ground covered! Cats forgot to turn up it seemed, still McAvaney still managed to crack a stiffy over Dangerfield even though he didn't get a lot of the ball.

Anyway, bring on the tigers! I picked the wrong year to move interstate

Sadly the AFL wont have the balls to suspend cochin (as much of a snipe as selwood is a diver) even though hes on 2 strikes...

They are always saying the head is a no go zone, and the opponent was gone for the last 3 and a 1/2 quarters

Nah they were both going for the ball, just unfortunate, nothing really in it.
Coch played one hell of a game
