As expected the top four are through to the Preliminary Finals this weekend.
Port Adelaide went closest to an upset and might have done so if not for the 3rd quarter when the
Cats smashed them. The
Swans were the big performers of the semi's, in a team missing key stars
LRT,
Goodsey and
Sam Reid, then losing
Tippett and
Mitchell in the first quarter, they took
Carlton apart, embarrassing their high draft picks with some typical "Bloods" footy.
McVeigh's 20 possessions in the 2nd quarter a finals record, his total of 42 for the match only second to
Dane Swan's 43 in a finals match. And he did it on one knee.
This week again sees the top two teams favoured to win. The
Hawks are set to finally beat the Kennett Curse after 11 losses. However last time they met in round 15 this year, the
Cats had their measure leading by 33 points before getting across the line by 10.

| Barich pledges to paint house with toofpick |
The
Swans are facing mission impossible at Subi this week against a rested
Dockers side. The only thing going for them is 80s Eagle
Adrian Barich's call that he'll paint a mates house with a toothbrush if
Freo get done. After the
Swan's injuries he amended this statement to using a toothpick instead. Go
Swannies.
