AFL obviously don't want an all Sydney final, GWS doing well in spite of 1 sided umpiring

Patton kicks the Giants second!

Dogs 14-13.

2 goals to GWS, back to basically even.

Giants certainly standing up to the Dogs. not overawed by the occasion.

I would hate for him to miss the Grand Final but it would be nice to see Heater flatten the mop

This is the worst preliminary final I've seen in about 10 years. Watching Heath Shaw, Taylor Adams is already ahead of him in my view. Why WB aren't at least 6 goals in front of GWS at this stage doesn't say much for their chances against Sydney next week should WB win this. In fact Sydney can start celebrating the 2016 premiership now.

last night was much worse than what this one looks like. who really cares about any comparisons between shaw and adams? shaw will be retired in a few years. adams has his career ahead of him.

The bullies for all their dominance are only two points up also the ground isn't full what's the lowest gf crowd

Footscray dissecting GWS early but their goal kicking reminds me of another AFL team. (Hint: they wear black and white stripes).

GWS, the 18-headed-Hydra, starting to motor.

How good was the hanger in 1st quarter?

Well, let's see what happens next week, but I think Sydney are a 20 goal better side than either of these teams. And the only reason I bring up the Shaw/ Adams comparison is that I'm sick of people here complaining about Buckley moving Shaw onto GWS.
