The Arcs water tight Finals Analysis

By Arc Progenitor of Finals Prediction - Penthar von Never-Wrong

WESTERN BULLDOGS vs BRISBANE
(Winner to play St Kilda in next weeks Preliminary Final)
The fleet footed Western Bulldogs [or Footscray as the Arc recognises them] have widely been regarded as the 3rd best team of the year but need to win this week to avoid an embarrassing straight sets exit. First year coach, the illiterate Michael Voss, has done a better than expected job getting the barely tolerable contaminated club (subjected to the AFL's odious Structural Merger programme (SMP)) into the second round of the finals. The Arc has entered all the relevant data into their mind computers and concluded with the home ground advantage and a point to prove the Bulldogs should easily account for the Lions who have performed above expectations this year.
The Arc says: Footscray by 51

ADELAIDE V COLLINGWOOD
(Winner to play Geelong in next weeks Preliminary Final)
The Arc of Infinity is all about tradition and heritage and thus has very little time for the Adelaide "Global Holdings" Crows. They are an artificially created abomination with no history and even less honour. They are referred to as a "franchise" in modern AFL-Speak which is appropriate given they share the significance gravitas of a McDonalds restraunt. The Crows, with an assortment of Van Berlo-like trappings, go into this week's match as lukewarm favourites despite leaving out the original Van Berlo Mach I from the side. The fact that they play the loathed Collingwood Magpies this week leaves the Arc with a painful "Sophies Choice" scenario but we must tip the Pies given the fact they are a legitimate traditional club - albeit one we don't like.
The Arc says: Pies by 5

In summary - The Arc is hopeful of a win by 2 traditional football clubs and a blow to the AFL's near complete Death Star of mindless expansionism
