I think at this stage of the game that the We will win the flag...I
think ever since 1986, the team which has won the 2nd Semi has gone on
to win the flag....Although if they had lost on Sunday I don't think
they would have made it to the GF...The good thing about the game was
that Matera, Sumich, Turley Mainwaring and Kemp were in Blistering form,
and they Held the Geelong midfielders, and also Brownless....But don't
be surprised if The Pussy Cats bounce back next week, but WCE should win
the flag from this position.

I think a big reason why Brownless didn't get into the game was the
pressure applied by the Eagles in midfield.  This resulted in very
poor delivery to the forward line, i.e. lots of high kicks, and gave
ample opportunity to the defenders to outpunch Brownless, often two
on one.  later in the game when he was moved upfield, and could lead
for the ball, Brownless got a few grabs, but by then it was too late.
Blight waited too long to switch him and Ablett.

I agree, Geelong's delivery into the forward line improved dramatically,
and if Ablett had kicked 4.1 instead of 1.4 the last quarter may have
been much more interesting.

>I think that Geelong will bounce back and beat Footscray.

Again I agree.  Geelong can't play that badly again, can they?
At least they should start with Barnes in the ruck and Stoneham at
Centre-half Forward.

	here is Essendon's  '65 performance:
	
	Ladder

		Coll	 13-5 130
		Geel	 13-5 121

I don't know how you get "robbed" out of "thrashed".

The Sunday Eagles v Hawthorn match was as good a game of

I hope the rest of the finals turn out similarly.

X-News-Reader: VMS NEWS 1.21

Sorry if this shows twice (machine problems)

Head-to-head is indeed the first tiebreak in American football.
This is followed by several inapplicable ones (divisions, etc.)
Here is my suggestion:
1. Head-to-head (in a multiple tie, points-per-game against others in the tie)
2. Points in away games
3. Strength of schedule (total points of teams met twice)
4. Percentage (as a last resort)

As an example of #1, a triple tie has occurred among the Magpies, West Coast,
and Sydney (can't let it be too realistic). Coll'wood defeated the Eagles
twice; WC took a win and a draw from Sydney; and the Swans vanquished the Pies
in a lone encounter.
Coll'wood:   8 pts/3 gms=2.67
West Coast:  6 pts/4 gms=1.50
Syd. Swans:  6 pts/3 gms=2.00
Thus, Collingwood finishes first in the group, Sydney second, and WC 3rd.

In #2, a problem arises:  How do you count neutral-site games? These fall into
two classes: AFL Park games (so they finally changed the name?) and Tasmania
games (please correct if I am wrong). At AFL Park, my suggestion is: Melbourne
sides are home except against other Melbourne sides; interstate (non-Vic) sides 
are away, again except v. each other.  Two Melbs or two inters are neutral; and
the Cats would be home against interstates and away to Melbournes.
Tasmania games would always be neutral.
The actual count would be all points in away games and 1/2 those from
neutral-site games (which reminds me: Is it ever possible to have an odd # of
points?)

They note which team first gets the ball out of the centre and into their
forward line following all centre bounces i.e. after each goal and at the
start of each quarter.  It is a useful statistic as it shows which team
is getting first attack following the bounce.  If a team has to continually
attack from their backline following centre bounces, it takes much more
effort and much more time for them to get the ball intoa scoring position.

I heard a rumour in the media a few weeks ago that a movie will be made
about the struggle of the Footscray football club: From near extinction to
would be premiers.  If they do win the premiership this year I think the
production of the movie will definitely go on.

I was wondering which actors could be used to play key roles in this movie.
Here's my choice:

Ross Oakley : Robert de Niro  (always plays a villian)
Doug Hawkins : Mel Gibson	(athletic, attractive)
Terry Wheeler : Sam Neill	( looks like him, sort of ?)	
Tony Liberatore : Danny DeVito 	(the only person on Earth who can play this
								part )

and finally

Irene Chatfield (you know, the woman who threatened to take the AFL to
court during the club's proposed merger) will played by: 
		Merryl Streep. (Another Oscar nomination for her I reckon!)

Poor old Geelong, when the pressure is on they fall apart.
When Brownless plays good he really plays well but when he
plays a bad game like on Sunday he really has a dirty game.

If Ablett had of kicked straight in the third quarter, Geelong
may of got some momentum and made a game of it.  

I think that Geelong will bounce back and beat Footscray.

If the final is between the Eagles and Geelong, whats the 
likelyhood of a full house at the MCG considering that last 
year it had to take the threat of a strike to sell out the 
grand final at the smaller capacitity Waverly ground.  Will 
all of Geelong travel into Melbourne and fill up the ground.

G'day Footyphiles,

  
    OK, so not a lot of posters were sticking up for Footscray in the final
against St Kilda. Having just recovered from seeing Footscray win their first
finals match in my memory (ack!) I have a couple of comments...

    Everyone in the Footscray side was really trying. Players I am usually a
tad wary of having in the side showed some class (I don't want to drop names
because they might remember me, but Corcoran and Kolynuik are up there). Wynd
was back, and if he wasn't totally fit he didn't show it (although he was
given a rest in the last quarter).

    Congratulations to Terry Wheeler for pulling one out of the bag in playing
Frost. Last week I mused about bringing in a big guy like Ballantyne, I didn't
think about Frost at all. Frost played a magnificent game.

    This is not going to be a popular opinion, but I think that Footscray will
take Geelong next week. If they play as they did on Saturday, and nobody was
really flashy, it was just that great team game that got Footscray where they
are - in the finals and in with a chance!

    I don't know if they can go all the way, I hope they do. GO DOGGIES!!!

Well, my beloved 'Pies went down in another close game. The Saints definitely 
had the ascendancy all day - their midfield was 10 times as fit and 
Collingwood were ran off their legs in the second half. Lethal may have been 
a bit lax as well (??) e.g. Christian on Leowe for so long, McGuane on Harvey. 

Hawthorn looked tired also against the Eagles.

Anyway, some probably meaningless predictions:

           The Eagles to go out in straight sets.
           St.Kilda to beat Footscray and then West Coast.

           Geelong to crap all over a tired St.Kilda in the GF!
