Would have been fantastic to have this weeks SF v EF "Elimination Final" played on Sunday. Considering there is an AFL game on at Subiaco at 5.10pm.

Regardless it will be one cracking game and it could not have been scripted better. And I concure Robbo's thoughts that it is almost impossible to predict a winner. Seriously where do you start ?? Maybe the fact the game is at Fremantle Oval could favour Souths, but really I think those things can be a bit overrated. But there will be a terrific atmosphere down there and the crowd really should be one of the bigger crowds for some years at a suburban ground. Swans & East Perth had nearly 12,000 at Bassendean for that prelim last year, and this game will certainly rival that in terms of attendance.

Lets hope the media and the public get behind it. The ABCTV will be telecasting it statewide to possibly 200,000 people so it will get great exposure. If Subi are battling Peel and the derby is coming down to the wire, imagine the senario of a draw !! They would be back there again the next week.

But Subi are a class act and are playing 100% team footy. I would be suprised if they dropped that game. It could be a great afternoon next Saturday. Great stuff....

And yes DD, it will be interesting to see what AFL players are available. I cant see the Eagles doing the cotton wool thing. That would be just stupid. Freo themselves have buggerall players left available anyway, so that isnt really an issue.
