Dwayne Russell's pressure meter for finals week two 2024

SEN’s Dwayne Russell has ranked the four teams playing off in finals week two in terms of who is under the most pressure.

Russell’s pressure meter ranks teams from 1-4, with number one having the most pressure on them and the most to lose heading into the weekend.

Check out Russell’s pressure meter below.

1. Port Adelaide                
vs Hawthorn – Adelaide Oval – Friday night

"Smashed last week, their finals record is horrible, the coach under pressure to keep his job, whole club is under the microscope, president under the microscope, the CEO is under the microscope.

“They play a game style that is proven to not win finals.

“Ken has to change it up this week, play some small-ball, take on Hawthorn at the contested, chaos ground ball, and don’t use Port’s old failed formula of kicking it long inside 50 and trying to lock it in.”

2. Brisbane           
vs GWS – ENGIE Stadium – Saturday night

“The Lions need a flag in this era, with this list, with this coach, if they lose this week, it’s a failed season considering they made the Grand Final last year and dropped to 5th. 

“It would be a failed season for the lions. 

“So I've got them at two.”

3. GWS         
vs Brisbane – ENGIE Stadium – Saturday night

“Preliminary worthy list, it’s always a fail if you finish in the top four and go out in straight sets.

“And you lose a home final.

“So I've got the Giants at three.”

4. Hawthorn          
vs Port Adelaide – Adelaide Oval – Friday night

“The obvious number four.”
